Scared the crap out of me....
« on: May 20, 2013, 02:41:08 pm »
I was sitting at my desk and minding my own business and an EXTREMELY LOUD explosion, very similar to an M-120 going off, feeling like it was right outside the window, ground shaking boom...  Went to investigate...  This is what I found...

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Most tires are only flat on the bottom, that ones flat on top too!
I had a front tire 33x12.5x16 blow out for no apparent reason once. I parked in front of my buddies apt. building. I walked around the front of the truck, got about 15 / 20 feet away from the truck, and KABOOM! I turned just in time as I ducked to see the front of the truck dropping rapidly. My dog inside looking like, what the heck?
