The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies)

Rusty · 06-23-2025, 05:17 PM

Back home from Rausch Creek. This trip was punishing. Lots of damage. One truck got 4 new dents, and a broken back window on his cap. Another got 2 new dents, ripped off a rear brake line on the axles. Another one lost the electrical connection to his axle lockers and smart bar disconnect. I got one dent and threw a P206 engine code. Turned out to be that water got into a connection. Plus the top of my head is sunburnt.

Time to start being an adult again.

Ugg, one of my rear tires de-beaded on my tractor after it went flat. Time for new tires. They are 19 years old and have some dry rot.

Yeah.....that's a bit long for not replacing tires. That was asking for trouble.

Another hot one. Yesterday was 98, with a heat index of 120. Let's see what today brings.

There's apparently a heat dome trapping in a bunch of heat in the northwestern area and is making it hotter than the southern states near the equator.

Perhaps there is some truth to this global warming after all

This actually just reminded me: What is the tire life on cars, regardless of tread? I've read 10 years and 5 years.

For context, my Z came with new tires when I bought her in 2018 and put roughly 12K miles on them to date, which are now 7 years old. Car was always parked in the garage. Does the 10 years stand or should it be sooner?
