I suppose this is karma for my antics on this forum.

I went to go pick up some dinner and was greeted by this.

So here is what I did to my Ranger, apparently 2 days ago last I drove it...

Taking it to my tire guy this afternoon to see if it can be salvaged, I have my doubts.

Enough mileage and wear where I'd have to replace 2 at min, but then I get in this endless cycle of replacing 2 tires as the years go on at different times. Guess I might be getting those 255/85/17's after all though the timing is all wrong for my budget.

Plus you can buy them cool stuff to play with. Of course this goes back to their house so the parents can enjoy the noise too. ?

That is NOT necessarily true...this is similar to what we had to keep at our house for the visits...this is just a fraction of what was at their house.....:crackup:
You will find that a huge supply of toys are needed cause each toy only holds a small child's attention span for 39 seconds....

Funny........we bought Wyatt a drum set when he was 7. We'd turn off the TV and listen to him. He played all through grade school and high school taking awards at District Music Contest. He still plays.......he has an electronic drum set which is really cool. Every now and then he puts the headphones on me and he drums AC/DC Back in Black. He plays drums in the church band too. Pretty talented kid......got that from me and not his mother! LOL

My introduction to drums was taking my moms pots and flipping them upside down. Then I'd bang on them with her wooden spatulas until my dad came in and took them and hid them from me. :confused:
