[url=http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator]This calculator[/url] gets a lot of use in the automotive forums. It is an invaluable tool in calculating appropriate tires sizes. There is one for Backspacing as well, but as the OP doesn't want to change wheels, we don't have to go there.

Based on what you say you use the truck for, I would go with cheaper tires. You won't go off road or racing, so you don't need a specialty tire. I would go with the cheapest white letter tire you can find installed and call it a day.

Barring any knowledge of the comics, I stopped following that story line a long time ago.   I suspect this is a peaceful group they have discovered.   There is a significance to the names each 'clan' has given to the dead.   Walkers are what Rick's people call them.   Biters, that is what the Governor and his folk called them.   Rotters, the Atlanta Hospital.   Roamers, Alexandria.   Note the connotation of the terms. Walkers and Roamers are easier on them, they take the animosity or violence out of it. They are just another obstacle in the world. 

A retail worker on the front line might not know that the number is the same. She also might not know that the HCP is acceptable. What she does know though is that a customer doesn't sign her check, hire her or fire her, so they aren't going to tell her what to do or how to do it either.   To me it sounds like, from the OPs own words that she was waiting in clarification from the manager, or someone with more feathers in their headdress. That would be the point of her saying 'hold on, we will figure something out.' The OP states that is when he lost his temper and demanded his HCP back.   I am reading the posts from the OP, and it clearly to me sounds like he got upset, lost his cool and brought this on himself.   I know that when I get poor service, or exceptional service for that matter, I make a point to find a manager. I then give the manager my criticism or praise for the service. Good and bad, that is what a manager wants to know. Who is doing it right, who is doing it wrong, and who is or isn't following policy.

I heard the leader of the Alexandria community is going to be a Muslim...           :stir:

I might not take it as far as being programmed or brainwashed. I speak only for myself when I say that I watch less than four hours of television a week total, including news programs. While the news that I do receive is biased, it is very easy to find a second source, or even a third. I find programmed news to be much more poisonous than a one hour programmed drama.   Russ Meyer is regarded as the father of the nudie movies. I find his body of work fascinating. And if you are familiar with Russ Meyer, you really got that pun. His first film was released in 1959. He incorporated story and art with his nudity. Unlike previous attempts that were just boudoir voyeur films. Honestly, over the last fifty-five years, only the quality of the film stock has changed. Mudhoney is a personal favorite film of mine.    While it may be true that nudity, sex and violence in movies and television have become commonplace, it is unfair to say that this is new. Daytime Soaps have been smutty for how long? You want to tell me that Charlies Angels was really a well written show about the activities of three normal girls? Baywatch was really about saving lives on the beach?      I prefer to spend my time worried about tangible things. Will my raise this year be worthwhile? Will my daughter perform well and enjoy her first season in competitive soccer league this year? Will my wife make me some of her awesome fried chicken tonight?   Worrying about some liberal agenda that may or may not exist on a device that I choose to utilize for entertainment purposes is very low on that list. After all, if I find it offensive or it makes me uncomfortable, I change the channel, or even more extreme, I turn the television off.   Here is a small anecdote, well two.   I have a great family, wonderful wife, exceptional daughter. I am fully devoted to them. My wife loves to watch television. She abhors any hint of sex, violence, and sadly intrigue. She is very vanilla in her tastes. She does occasionally enjoy a police procedural. I don't, but sometimes I will tune in from time to time on what she is watching. She got into a show, Criminal Minds I think. Watched a marathon of it. But I noticed a trend in the show to graphically depict the death of children in a spectacular manner. I pointed this out to my wife, and from that day forth I requested that she not watch that show in my presence. Much like her reality television. This wasn't because I wanted to stick my head in the sand and pretend that children never get hurt, it was because I don't enjoy watching, hearing, or otherwise for entertainment purposes, children being hurt/killed/exploited.   The last anecdote would be my excitement in purchasing a Playstation 4. The choice of which was heavily favored due to a single game. The Last of Us had been remastered and released and being a Sony exclusive, it made my choice for me. However, and to attempt not to spoil anything, a scene occurred in the first ten minutes of the game that ruined the experience for me, and I quite literally removed it from the console and returned it to the store at that exact moment. Again, not trying to be naive, but as the father of a daughter who is just as into zeds as I am, I couldn't stomach the plot device, regardless of how important it was to the story.       At the end of the day I understand that not everyone in the world thinks like I do. Believes what I do. Some folks are religious. Some folks believe that women aren't equal to men. Some folks believe that the color of your skin determines who you are. Some folks think that everyone should live by their set of morals, or laws. Me? I like what I like, and I will be damned if someone tries to take what I like away from me. And with that though, who am I to take what someone else likes away from them? As long as what I do doesn't hurt you, and what you do doesn't hurt me, who are either of us to try and change the other? Diversity is what makes this world spectacular.

Sean Penn made me laugh.

I don't like much pop music, but she has always impressed me with her talent. 

Then let's go back to my post you responded to.   When Andrea stood in the moonlight, naked as the day she was born, the light reflecting off of her curves as she reached down and retrieved her knife. The camera lingered for seconds, many seconds long that it needed too. The director wanted us to feel her pain in trying to decided if she should, no, could kill the Governor while he slept.    Did you look away then? Did you feel like a voyeur then? How uncomfortable did that make you?   Because surely, that was unnecessary, much like someone walking off into the bushes to take a piss, right? We didn't need any of that.

Just to play Devil's Advocate here, was the sex shown between Lori and Shane, or Glenn and Maggie, or even Andrea standing naked in the moonlight necessary?    To a degree I argue that it all was and is necessary to show that life goes on, the birth of Judith is proof that the world continues, the sun rises, the sun sets. Humans will continue to find comfort in one another's company.   I am certain the writers did get a kick out the introduction of a gay male character, well two. A gay female, especially an attractive one will rarely be shunned, because we are nothing if not hypocritical when it involves attractive women and fantasy. I remember last summer the enormous outcry that came from the rumor that it would be revealed that Daryl batted for the other team. I am sure the big in you face man on man tongue action was someone's idea of giving a big 'eff you' to criticism.       My honest opinion, as long as the story moves along, characters are still developed, zeds still get piked, I am along for the ride.

Tara and the one girl from the second camp the Governor raided the prison with.   The one thing to take into account is that this is the highest rated cable television show of all time. That means there is a good chance that a good chunk of folks from all minorities and majorities watch it. Regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or political affiliation.   While watching two men kiss is not my cup of tea, it didn't grievously offend me. I am a big boy, I can handle watching things that make me uncomfortable. 

But it was okay when the lesbians were introduced, with one still an active character?

Now that you say that, we have had this discussion before, haven't we?

That was some really solid performing!

I have heard before, not just Muslim, but of some Christian faiths as well, they believe that the drums are the instrument of the devil.   I assume that is what this is about?

There is one, but he is in MTN.

What part? Steer Creek here, it has been eighteen years or so since I left.

I was raised deep in them hills of Monroe County. I don't reckon I got a tooth in my head that ain't broke. The rest are missing.

There ain't no dentists in Monroe County...     Goody Powders will help.       I have heard good things about [url=http://www.affordabledentures.com/office/lenoir-city-loudon]Affordable Dentures[/url] at your price. If you have an abscess, they might not pull it until the infection goes away, but they should write you a script for the antibiotic to help.

Kentucky just enacted this as well.   You can now apply prior to your course, and be approved/denied pending the course.   This is ostensibly to help applicants see if they can pass, or have issues to clear up before paying for a time limited certification.    And example would be someone that had a charge that hadn't been cleared up from twenty years ago, a complaint we hear about often causing someone to be denied a purchase at an FFL. If you have six weeks validity on your course, that you paid $100 for, and you had to wait two months to find out you were denied, now you have to get that fixed, then take the course again, at the cost of another $100.

Being an adult that doesn't like to pay 'stupid taxes' anymore, I stayed home today. They closed the office, so I had to work from home. They supposedly declared a state of emergency up here over a foot of snow. We have food (Bread and Milk Oh My!) and power.

There were a lot of teasers in the episode. The wall was burned, attacked, someone drove a large vehicle through it. Noah's people weren't overrun by walkers, humans did that. "Wolves are Near." I don't think that meant wildlife. The headed torsos in the truck, the half bodies in the field by the breach. The old pick-up and the Volvo were riddled with bullet holes, that wasn't just a random accident in the woods.    The radio broadcast. It kept going through over and over for Tyreese. I think that has something to do as well.   I think they are going to meet an organized group, something to make Woodbury look amateurish. I think there will also be some form of armed resistance to that 'Republic.' I think that resistance is the 'Wolves.' I think that is who took down the gated community.

I did plenty of shooting there back when it was Coal Creek Armory. My first trip there turned me off and I didn't go back for nearly two years. I never experienced sour service again. Granted that first impression was bad.

If you are looking at Norris, the hell with shooting in your yard, just go to the watershed to shoot like the rest of us. Sure, you have to drive, but much less hassle. When I lived in Knoxville it was nearly an hour drive for me, and I still did it multiple times a month because I liked shooting there so much.
