WOOO. I get to order a new tire for the F150 already. Ran over a nail. Might be reparable but with it being a brand new truck I'd feel better with a new tire

 

Eh, I'd fix it and move on. I've put tens of thousands of miles on repaired tires, and just a nail? Pffft! Or, you could fix it and move it to the spare if it's actually going to bother you.

 

I've gone back to using tire plugs. It takes too damn long to go get a flat fixed when I can just have it done in 2 minutes in my driveway.

I woke up feelin "blah" but figured it's my allergies acting up. My Wife just texted me that she has a mild fever and an ear ache. Swell. She's also supposed to start her new job today.

 

spare is only an 18" rim. Otherwise I'd do that

 

I was reading through some old articles, and I came across this. My cousin was married to this douche bag when he did all of this. He died in prison. As I recall "nobody knows what happened".

You suffer flats way too often if run your vehicles on construction sites daily. E-rated tires help a lot avoiding that. They aren't bullet proof but close enough to it, but make a big difference.....specially after the roofers had their way with the site lol. E's come factory on the 3/4 and 1 tons, but the the 1/2 tons...nope!. The downfalls to running them on the 150's. E's are 10 lbs heavier per tire on average and road rougher as they require 60 plus pounds to stand up straight, they are also harder on the truck (the 150's anyway). Pluses, avoiding flats and longevity may last up to 80,000 miles with proper alignments/rotations. The downfall category wins out, as I didn't list them all.....unless you work construction of course.

 

Either that or you keep aggravating it somehow while its trying to heal. Hard to keep a good man down right! It may just take a little longer that's all.

I needed to get injections this morning for some freaky autoimmune disorder I was blessed with years ago. Combine that with arthritis, it can be in the everything when suffering flare ups. Getting old sucks.

 

No way I'd replace that tire. Fix it!

 

Brew, I am actually thinking about getting a shot in my left shoulder, and if that helps I'll do the right as well. They both need surgery, but I can't be down for two years.

 

Monkeypox?

If so, you got it too soon. Was supposed to be a big this coming October and November.

I hope you get better soon.
