Hasselback gets an illegal block call after he threw the INT and made the tackle on the ball carrier??WTF?? some WEAK holding calls on Seattle, especially when the standard wasn't the same when Pitts was holding. and the media usually doesn't hesitate to criticize bad calls, but Madden and Michaels must have been watching something different than the rest of us. seattle got jobbed.

I'm not sure on those wheels, but at least they aren't as ugly as some stuff out there. A little taller would fill the wells a little better. A poster was right on an rv forum, they look like roller skate wheels. A little too small. But you might lose a little power from heavier tires and mileage down a little.
That's still a damn pretty truck.

Time for new tires on the eff2fidday. And since everything else has been changed or upgraded, some new wheels as well.
Heres a pic of the truck and heres a pic of the wheels in 17"... Now. The only thing we cant decide on is the tires. Kinda lookin at the Bridgestone Revos in the stock hight as theyre the only revos that are E rated. Or my favorite the BFG ATs in 285/70 that are an inch taller than the revos at almost 33"s tall, but with the same weight rating..
Would that extra inch make THAT much difference in these trucks? I know it does in the jeeps, but the jeeps are a totally different animal, bieng underpowerd and all.
Any suggestions? Whats the hight/weight on the stock steeltex ats? I cant find any specs on it.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Itll be nice to finnally get some decent meats under that truck.

If you're having to pay taxes at the end of the year, you need to adjust your witholdings, or make quarterly payments to the IRS/FTB. I should be even, or a little ahead this year...hopefully. The withholding form (I forget if it's W2 or W4) always seems to put me under. So I drop 1. For some reason it says if you're single to be single and 2. Don't know why. I'm sure this would apply to married with 3, or hell even 10 in Hoss' case. I wonder if he gets extra deductions for his extra shee errr wives?
I could see with multiple sources of income have a real PITA time getting it right. Luckily I don't have that. Only did a couple of years (K1 from a partnership). Now I get to file those "simplified" EZ forms. Yeah, whatever. Still just as damn long.

on the horse shed, i can salvage at least 90% of the materials, put it back up, and make sure that this time it's cross-braced (there was no sheathing on it to act as cross bracing). probably take a day or 2 to rebuild. not worth the insurance claim. and i think my deductible is $1000, so i don't wanna spend that either.
on the stihl, you made the right choice on the 16". but hey, in yer fancy new 'hood, you prolly can't burn anything, and all your neighbors will be calling the noise police when you fire-up that puppy!

I agree they had no killer instinct. I actually thot the fullback had that first down in the first half, and got an awful spot form the ref. but then, if some Columbian drug lord had bet big on this game and had a knife to my familys' throat , I probably would have reffed the same way too. I've determined there is no other explanation.
