There must be something in the water. I tossed and turned most of the night, got about three and a half hours of sleep, and feel a bit like crap today. Duncan threw up two big wads of grass this morning and has the runs. My girlfriend has what we think is a pinched nerve in her back, her dog tossed up her breakfast, and her son's dog is really sick. What the heck?

I had leg cramps that kept waking me up.
And the normal June allergies..

Got the junk tire removed from my rim and brought it home.
They are going to order one and inspect it and call me when it comes in.

The manger tried telling me it was from force balancing it... lol
I said "I would have liked to see that!"
"Did it fill the shop with tire smoke?"
"Why do the other 3 tires have no marks at all?"

Then the story changed to they must have done that at the factory.
So, I am speaking to the manager, that actually balanced the tires.
And I ask him, "3 tires balanced the same, this one took twice the weights, and they are all on the outside edge."
The others that have no grinding marks the weights are all on the inside of the wheel against the spokes.

"Why did you not inspect the tire when it balanced so different from the other 3?"
He had no answer.....

Looks like I am shopping for a new tire place.
Discount Tire Macomb Twp. Sucks!

Bunch of sicklings....two episodes of heat stroke last weekend. Totally no energy or appetite. Went away after a nights sleep. Can't even throw 25 bags of wood chips anymore, I get like winded, need a sit down.

Fever and headache is different white, hope something isn't going around again. Ohio, if that pain in her back is under the left shoulder blade at the top, it's prob not the nerve. At least it wasn't w/me.

Feel better fellas.

"Force balancing" That's a new one for me.

Luckily, I have a guy I'm using for tires now that is really good. He's also a fellow Mustang and Ford owner. He knocks out tires quick! Super nice guy!

Thank you! I go through phases where I feel ok, then all the sudden I get the chills. Might need to stay home one more day.

Much better on the 2nd shipment. Kudos to Rock Auto for fixing it so quickly!
