Well, that was fun.

The first wheel was a piece o' cake. The tire almost fell off the rim. It went down hill from there. Quickly. By the time I got to the last wheel, I had three bloody knuckles and put some nice dents in the front rims. Managed to get the dents 'mostly' hammered out. New tires are on order from TSC.

Mrs. C and I did go to a couple of estate sales today before I bloodied myself. I wanted to check out a go kart at one. It was $100 and complete but a bit too bent, so I walked. The other had lathes, mills, and oodles of other stuff that interested me. The machine tools were gone, save for one lathe, by the time I got there. The lathe was nice but larger that I liked and more than I wanted to spend. I did walk out with a 153cc Kawasaki OHV mower engine for $10, though. Nice back up for the Toro.

From there to HF for a couple of real tire irons. The rest you know.

BTW, grandson #2 is in the process of clawing his way out. Will update when I get the word.
