Bein’ in Beni…

becomes a good opportunity to unwrap the little truck a couple of days in a row

In the meantime, Saturday afternoon, we ducked into the city ahead of it

where the tents of the homeless contrast nicely

The rains, not shown, showed up with a vengeance during dinner, flooding the Treasure Island Tunnel for our wet way home and lasting the night.

We were fortunate for sun, though with chilling winds, enough of the subsequent morning

Monday I was back to trying to sort out the persisting vibrations unda’ da Tundra, the consensus coming down to never buy Pirelli tires…or rather, never let anyone SELL you Pirelli piece-of-shit tires.

There’s a reason Ford stopped putting them on their F-150’s…which is why so many were dumped on the market a year ago, just in time for me, misled by mechanics who couldn’t tell a wasted CV joint from tire noise, to buy a set…the only one I’ll ever buy, that’s for sure.

So still buzzing away for another 10K [or until I’m flush enough to dump them] miles.

P1080945

Other than that, all’s swell, fine, etc…

As well it should be, tweeting twits aside.

For now, anyway…

    A nice collection, as usual. How about that GREEN (the Impala on 20″ or more? wheels and the grass in the neighborhood)…spring has sprung. Great to see you at Aerious and thanks for the bad Pirellis tip…I will avoid them like the plague.

    …and thank YOU, hugely, for the gorgeous documentation of Linda’s opening!
    Yeah, stay away from Pirellis; stories about their bad vibrations are all over the web. wish I’d known.

      That Sierra mud [and copious cattails] just keeps moving through; lots more to come, I imagine. Quite a winter out here…

    Love the first image of the little truck with the reflection of the house in the window. Linda’s show looks lovely. I might be able to get up there and see it!

    The show’s up until the 29th of April, so there’s still time…and that’s the old State Capitol reflected in the window. We’re nothing if not historic around here…
