Auto Zone parking lot in Spout Springs, NC. I don't think Auto Zone can fix that. Might wanna look elsewhere.
 
I can't believe property owners are ok with people working on their vehicles in front of parts stores; hell I can't believe the parts' stores themselves are ok with it. More accidents like that and you'll definitely see a stop to it.
 
Thought I'd move the tire swing out into the open yard. I found a cool old tire to use that I've never seen before. Dredged out of the old Columbia canal in a pile of rubble was a 7.50-20 Alray. No idea what it could've come off of or how old it might be. Figured my little niece would love it. Original super swamper tread pattern? Measures very close to a modern day 35".

Did you drill a hole or three in the bottom so it won't collect water and become a mosquito and mold haven?
That would also give a gander at what the inside and belt construction might be like

I oriented the tire so that the two finger width gash faces down. The mud caked in was every bit of 20# It has threads rather than steel belt so it's a bias ply afaik. Organic search found that Alray is a western/central NC based company and the size itself is a hot topic amongst 1.5 ton truck guys looking for replacents for pre-1940s-50s stuff.

I tried find Alray; all I could get is a service center using that name in Western NC locations.

Craigslist score on the tank and champion head unit. Got the motor from Batman here
A magnetic starter, pully, pressure switch and supply line, and it's up and running. >500 bucks in this 2000 dollar compressor. I'm happy. Oh yea, free retread isolation mat.

Hognose the dogs found today. They are rare in our area. He spread out and rose like a cobra and would strike. But then play dead lol. Defense mechanism. Also they are Non poisonous.

They will also hiss very loudly and scare the chit out of dogs/cats/people. I caught beautiful red one years ago and put it in a small aquarium. A week or so later It managed to wedge it's nose under the lid and escape even w a brick on the cover. Heard the thing hiss from the other end of the house and then the cat came streaking out of that room and down the hall w it's hair all up.

To secure the bike rack so they can enjoy mountain biking whilst eating granola and leg hair braiding. I'd have really laughed if they were somehow convinced to get a weighted tag. I think the Trump sticker was a decoy.
