Call me anal, but one faulty tire makes me uneasy.
I'd upgrade.....all the way around.
The rims/wheels are also suspect.

But, reading HD's post, sounds like Mr HD has it covered

What's your opinion, Gary, the damage the rim sustained? Being subjected to rim on pavement, there's no way I would trust driving on that rim again.

It could have hairline fractures now.
 

My son and I spent about 5 hours working on our music projects this past Saturday. Today I'm going to add and edit tracks on the song we have in Garage Band. I'm also changing my bed, doing some shredding and other light chores. I'll be catching up with my social networking as well. Hopefully I'll be able to take it down a notch and watch some T.V. later on.

That's where my mind goes.
However, seems Mr HD's tire folks inspected the rim, and OK'd it
I'd like to think they wouldn't dare put their high grade tire on a suspect wheel

Still, wonder what blew the tire.....

It's suspect with me, too.

There's no way I'd drive on that rim, and I agree 100% with you Gary O', I cannot believe a tire shop would even retire a wheel like that.

My husband told me that a lot of the new wheels on trucks and cars that are 20 inches and over, are suffering catastrophic failure, and that's with having good tires on them, so aluminum or magnesium, or whatever the rims in this case are made of, making contact with the road, with no good tire acting as a buffer, no way, Jose.

I, too, am wondering about what caused the blow-out.

Whenever we're heading out on the open highway, hubby always does a walk-around on the vehicle to make sure all is in order.

Yeah, and tree rats love chewing on non-synthetic wiring under the hood

Happily, all my rigs were too old for that grade of wiring

Did have some pine seed piles under the hood from time to time


Little bastards

The little buggers knew exactly where to build comfy homes for themselves... at Uncle Gary O's house! LOL!

Being as cute as they are, one can't even get cross with them. :love:
 
We had a tiny lost dog with no collar show up on our porch. It was so small that it would not have made a good meal for the coyotes that wander through here. It took me a couple of hours walking around in heat the before I found someone who recognized it and knew who it belonged to.

The poor thing very cooperative and friendly. It was also hot and very mangy. I felt very sorry for it. All the animal shelters were closed today and so I had little choice but to "own" the problem. Our local county animal control is very quick to put lost dogs down and our two bichons were going berserk with having it in our garage which was way too hot anyway.

The teenage girl who answered the door thanked me, but I could see that there was no point in discussing the matter any further given that she was well behind on the "responsibility learning curve."

Overall, I give my neighbors an average score of a D+. There are a few really good ones, but the weighted average is rather sad.
 
Not doing much today.
The ATT man was here to fix a cable wire that was hanging down in my lemon tree this morning.

And, just doing some reading about my arthritis and the serious gut bloat all these meds contribute to.
Really interesting reading. I wish my Rheumy cared as much as I do. At least she's honest when she says
"I don't know what to do with you"

I'm going to see a new doctor inn August...can't wait.

Will be keeping you in my thoughts, Dob.

Hoping for better days for you where you can start feeling more like yourself and healthier.

..yep hubs still isn't any closer to knowing what caused the blow out...he's going to change the rim anyway despite it being given the all clear, he's going to change all 4 rims.. not because the other 3 are suspect but just so they all match...

I actually always feel physically ill when I hear stories like this about dogs who are just not being cared for properly... my dd rescued so many in the same situation..many dumped on the mountain and left to fend for themselves with mange and Pavo..

My daughter just found a lost very old small dog as well, today. It took her four hours to track down the owner. She managed to contact a vet that treated the dog in 2003, got the owners number which were disconnected. Then she managed to find a business number for the owner, tracked him down, and drove to his place of business and gave him his 20 year old ragged and tired chihuahua back.

The guy has called her three times, thanking her, he didn’t know his beloved baby had gotten out. 😂

My daughter loves dogs. If a dog is on the freeway, she stops and gets it, in a field, she stops, in a hot car she calls the sheriff and you get your car window broke out and the dog rescued. No wonder I like you @Pecos 😍
