    Do you balance your straight truck tires?

    I just got some front end work done on my straight and put some pretty good steers on, pretty expensive at any rate. I thought the tire guy knew he was supposed to balance them and I should have checked. Anyway, they didn't get balanced but the 70 mile ride home was nice and smooth. $1100...

    So I guess the future is coming, again. I'm not going to like this. The first couple times I see one I'll be amazed and think it's cool. But then I'll want to move into the hills somewhere.

    So you hate socialism huh?

    I get a kick out at how easy it is for opinion tv to push peoples buttons and get them in a tizzy about people getting food stamps or other aid. Redistribution of wealth they scream. :D Boeing is a good one to look up. Heck, combine the freebies given to just a few companies and you can fund...
