Cupcake? Heresy? Pony? 4 stacks of plexi?

Didn't bother me... I took allergy shots for years and gave em to myself...Had gallons of blood sucked out of me... Needles don't bother me at all.... especially after all the neck dance/surgery years back... Never pain free so my volume tolerance is a good bit above normal.... I hit the 1% probability with the last biopsy with the bacterial. Rather have the pain than that shit again... Probably never have it again if I had one every month... Odds are odds...

Most uncomfortable is laying there with my ass bare and periscoped while doc and assistant play damn video games....

Ever notice how Lake Michigan looks like Florida?
Even the storm clouds look the same!

Spooky here... just getting going.
Tornado siren going.
Much lightning... rain kicking in now...

Y'all do y'allses 'probe' checks or the dump in a box.... I didn't like it when I had to get em every year for a good while (doc said I won the polyp sweepstakes, some grow em some don't...I did.) Had I not gone the first time and a couple weeks later to finish the cutting as I had been under as long as was safe the first one, my life would have been extremely different within a year or less and I may not be here now in all seriousness...

Get em done...

Guy at work showed me a pic that his sister sent of her car. Tornado totaled it in mid-Consin' this evening.

I must be of Texan heritage...

Fryday Texas coffee on. Aydan on a plane to Mexico about now for an 8 day stay. Got Missy and Adler in the house. Missy's working a bunch of hours this weekend. We'll see what the weekend holds.

For those who have a better understanding of health care here, this is way more brilliant than it first appears. Speaks volumes.

Morning guys. Just agreed to have a pound of flesh removed in exchange for two new tyres for the four-wheeled computer. I'm pretty sure I paid less than that for my first car! Have a great day all.

Are your tires "squared" or different sizes front and rear? I was surprised to learn the Benz comes stock with two different sizes. Rotating is not a "thing".

Same size and rotated. Had two new ones fitted a few months ago, now time for the other two to be done. I prefer (probably for absolutely no valid reason) to wait a few months between changing front and back rather than new all round at the same time.

The spare is a different size (space saver) designed to get you home after a puncture but no more than that.

Get a matching fifth wheel, and another tire. Throw that space saver in the trash.
I do that on every vehicle I own.
Even my wife’s minivan.

If I have a flat, there’s no drama.
I don’t have to limp anywhere.
I can keep on driving as usual until I get the tire repaired.

I don’t have a spare tire.
I have five matching, and they all get rotated through use.
So I always know I have a good “spare” because it was just on the ground a few thousand miles ago.
I know I can trust it.

Of course, I have to explain it every time I go to the tire shop to get rotated.
“The spare goes to the right rear, everything goes counterclockwise around the car, the left rear goes to spare.”
And I have to watch them to make sure they actually do it.

In principle I agree, but it's a necessary evil over here I'm afraid. Our cars invariably come with an (empty) space for a space-saver not a full-size under the boot (trunk) floor and a can of gunk that does absolutely nothing if you split a sidewall or whatever.

I negotiate the addition of a space saver with every car I buy. It means I can get to the repair shop under my own steam without having a spare taking up unnecessary space or sliding around in the back of the car the rest of the time.

I have no idea how different it is across the pond, but the full-size tire will fit in the space-saver dlot in most of the cars I’ve seen in the USA.
It ain’t pretty, but it will fit.

If not, you have absolutely no place to carry a flat tire?

My wife’s Nissan minivan carries the spare under the back.
It is tucked up high enough, that you can’t see it ahead of the bumper.
Drop that out, and put the full-size tire under there, and now you can see it.
It hangs down a couple of inches.

Good morning all, happy Friday. Daughter and husband are in the middle of a 3 week trip to Europe. This weekend they're in Italy for the F1 race. I admit it, I'm a little jealous.

Wow! ↑
That's the San Marino track; best one.
