    Down another 3 pounds. Unintentionally yesterday I starved while waiting for the truck to get repaired. Alas a one man garage and my truck might get finished today. Hope so, I am losing money on lack of work.

    444.4 on the scale

    Goodyear G572 retread. When we got the tire off there was some damage on the inner sidewall. It seems that I might have hit something. It was an older bruise but probably had something to do with it.

    Bruises to a sidewall are either manufacturers defect or from scuffing a tire hard against a curb. Since it is inside I would be seeking a warranty on that tire

    At the TA in Aurora waiting on Goodyear fleet HQ to get my trailer tire fixed.

    Trying to see how far they can push my patience.

    I left my spare trailer tire in my other pair of pants with my winning lottery ticket.

    Western doesnt supply spares. Tho they have a national account (michelens when I was driving) that gets tires when they need them. Also when a tire is changed, the driver is expected to carry the old casing around on their catwalk until the next time they visit a maintenance yard.
