Ok, so we have new shoes today.  Looks a bit ghetto!

Dang - all 3 axles at the same time?

Did you get to try the burritos?  We liked the chorizo ones.

Misses the burritos.  She was just leaving when Bill leaned over and asked if I wanted a burrito. 

Dang.

Bride says you should use concrete blocks for a more authentic 'hood look. :P I would be suspicious of the capacity of the concrete blocks. At 8,000# to 20,000# per axle, I would be suspicious of anything less than BIG steel. (No OOPS! or D'oh! in your report, so I guess all is good. :) )

Ah yes, concrete blocks!  Nope, we are "uptown", no concrete blocks in this hood!

Yes, all went well.  I was a bit surprised to see all axles up on steel.  Drove it back to the campground and I still have all 8 wheels attached!

What kind of new shoes did you get and did you use the FMCA discount?  David

New shoe space inside and new shoes outside!  Do I detect a theme here or are you just ready to do some serious hoofing? ^.^d

We used the FMCA program.  Based on what the email receipt, looks like we saved a Whopping $25 for all six tires!  yes, only six as we had already put new ones on the front in January. 

And there is no shoe fetish here!
