The post whore thread.

I honestly feel like you should do a blog/podcast. I'd probably subscribe.

I've considered a blog, but not one anyone I know would listen to.

Wooden blocks aka crib blocks are the $&it. Put my burb up on 6x12s leftover from a project and bam, instant access without jack stands. The t case fluid has been changed. The parts fuy called it smurf pee, it was blue.

How tall? Picture? Probably easier to store than Jack stands.

Had to stop in Norwood, MO before I fell asleep at the wheel. Why so tired Irving? Well, because even though I planned to sleep in my car, I didn't think about blankets or anything. Turns out that emergency blanket I've had under the seat forever is so thin that you can see through it when you open it up. A bath towel would have been more warm. So I stopped at 2:30am, but was only able to sleep till 5:30am because it was so cold.

Not that tall for the burb, just needed 4" to roll under it as it is already tall. The landscape timber is 4x6 and 12 inches long. I did jack up the car and place it under the tires, but I think that cutting a wedge on the front will allow me to roll up next time. Sorry no pic this time.
Normally I use ramps but filling the t case required a flat car.

Isn't wallmart open 24/7?

I have a woobie blanket in my car. Actually it is my sons so he can get another 15 minutes of sleep on ride to school. But I want one of my own now, and so does my daughter.

Few Wal-Marts in Western Kansas near the rest stops, but completely valid point. My goal today is to get South enough that is either warm enough to sleep better, or close enough that I'll get a hotel. I'm going to try to make it to Birmingham for the night now.

There's a few Whataburgers in Birmingham

Tire fiasco continues.

My mom just called from aurora that her tire is flat.
Initially, Discount tire (iliff and havana) would not be able to change her tire because they close at 5.

Found out the tire is undrivable and they were nice enough to take her. 2 hours wait. It will be covered by road side warranty she purchased.

It is worth spending $ on those road side warranty from discount tire*.

I am not promoting discount tire.

I got some new tires at the local tire place. When he mentioned the warranty, I asked about off-road usage. His reply was, "I don't need to know how it happened." I purchased the warranty.

[ChickNorris]

Yay local tire place guy!

I predict ncaaf will have 3 upsets today.
