I came to find out today that sidewalk curbs are not at all tasty, especially when you eat one with a rim. So due to my fiasco today in parallel parking I'm recommending Cascade Wheel Repair in Lynnwood. The owner of the shop, Mike does a first-rate job. The shop's appearance doesn't look like much but they have all the neccessary equipment to repair almost any thing wrong with a wheel. So needless to say I will keep well away from all curbs. I haven't curbed a rim since 2002. I guess it was my time again, lol.

Sorry to hear your eyes are failing you so young in your life!:laugh::laugh: As you get older, you begin to accept things like this are possible, and avoid situations that require you to use senses that aren't what they used to be!:oldfogey::oldfogey: Good to know you found a wheel guy in the far northend! Hope you don't need him too much!:wink2::pir_flag:

Hadn't done that since 1975 when I first got the Driver License.

Whoa Johnny boy, I work on Whidbey Island not live. That place is WAAAYYY too secluded for me.

Yeah, we know Carlos! Mount Vernon is sooooo much further south than Whidbey Island! You're practically in the urban environment there! Any day now and you'll get yuppies and everything!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Yeah! Truth! Whidbey can be far North or far South! I can see it out of my front window, but the other end is 40 miles North! :judge:

Actually, I have web feet from being in the Coast Guard....all that paddling ashore and all!

Hey, we actually got a couple of crappers down here now! That traveling salesman just wouldn't take no for an answer! Haven't figured out if we want to put it in the livingroom or kitchen???!! Didn't come with any instructions, so we're just going to wing it and see where it looks best!:wink2::pir_flag:

Those things are just nothing but trouble! Just as you're getting settled, some kids push it over.

I'd just continue to squat on that log out back! :p
