    Here is why Oregon is awesome. I think all pee and high blood pressure meds run off into the blackberry patch and speed up the ripening process. Also I feel calm after eating about 100 of these this a.m.

    You know most of those guys are really telling stories of lies. I know this, can’t really say much, but back when I was a bit younger, I may have worked for a special government agency. I may have traveled all around the world. I may have been involved in a number of special operations. I may have seen things, things you should not want to see. Why I know that the lunch counter stories are not true. When I left the employment of this agency, I was required to fill out and sign non-disclosure documents, also non-competition documents.(that seemed odd, but I get it) these documents, about 2 feet thick, basically prevent me from talking about, writing a book or screen play or other dramatized representations of events. Should I do that, they could basically arrest me with no real warrants and put me in a jail that may or may not exist, at some location that may or may not be on a map.
    Not supposed to talk about that.

    It appears that he drank the beer. Then things got a little out of focus.

    Ok.

    I’ve got a real question. Seriously.

    As some of you have noticed it seems to snow a lot wherever I go. I was curious if during the winter time having snow tires make a difference for those of us who run back and forth from snow country.

    1. On the drives how many of the 8 tires do you mount with snow tires?
    2. Does it affect fuel economy?
    3. Are they loud?
    4. Do they age poorly in warm
    Environments?
    5. What else am I missing?
     
    InTooDeep and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Tucker,
    We had faith In you, we knew you could do it.
    It was not a difficult job, but one that required skill, technique and above all patience. Yes, we knew you could do it, but we didn’t want to go overboard with encouragement and perhaps get you overconfident. Building up the expectations, only leading to a less than thrilling and ecstatic result. We wanted you to have that moment of accomplishment, the pride in a job well done, the confidence of success.

    You just need chains. My Yoko's are hardly a traction type tire, I had no problems. I'll get a picture of the tires on truck 2. Generals. Those f things I think you could take the ice road without chains. But he still get 8.5 or better all day ( gearing ).

    I had recaps on Blackie, no problems.
     
    otterinthewater Thanks this.
