I didn't get a password reset, but my mobile app hasn't been working for the past three days. Says something about a "parse error."

I've been watching the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion...thinking of my dad who went in on D-Day +3. He was in the 66th regiment of the 2nd Armored Div. He talked about how rough it was on the ship coming over and they were so glad to hit land...didn't take them long to see real warfare as soon as they hit the beaches. Not much talk about the war from him untill he hit his later year's. He was in from 1940 to 1945 when the war ended.

My Dad was drafted into the Navy in 1943 at the age 18. He got a deferment of a month, till I was born. He was on a mine sweeper for 3 years. He was never able to watch a war movie as I was growing up, never talked about it much. Most of Americans today don't have a clue.

they're fairly reasonable priced compared to some of the other so called performance tires on the market...

they're spoken highly of on some other forums that cater to gm and dodge brands....

they were bought out by Apollo tire last year along with Cooper which Goodyear let go....
Ahh. The deal for Apollo to buy Cooper fell through and never happened IIRC.

Had to fire someone again today. This is the third one so far this year. It's always such an unpleasant process.

Im done for today.. 545 miles in 7 1/2 hours. Then got home and 30 mins later headed out the door again for another 130 mile round trip.

The first tank of gas i ran 91 e10 and got 19.5 mpg.. The second tank i found some 93 non ethanol gas in Decatur so i filled up.. Coming back i only got 16.1 mpg.. Kinda Strange.

Coming back, you weren't going down hill!

That's a lot of driving. I used to could do that but not any more.
