Good morning!!!!

[Engineer42]

Morning all;
Going to be an interesting morning, going to do something that may not be the smartest.
I've had a set of Chevy Equinox wheels for sale they have been on Facebook and Craigs list for several months with minimal interest. Then Sunday had a resurge in interest along with a request for more pictures, so went and took more pictures and then posted them on the old ads. Had an individual that was texting and wanting them but wasn't supposedly in a position to come down and look at them. So as he is willing to pay the full asking price and I have the time I'm going to take them up to his address and assume I'll have a stress free interaction.
So something I'd certainly be telling anyone else not to do, and I am going to do.

And a general question, tire-wheel-rim what is the general consensus as to the proper terms.
I've always considered the steel/aluminum tire mounting device to be a rim, of course the rubber tire is the tire, and to me the mounted combination was a wheel, so a wheel consists of a tire mounted on a rim. But is seems like the term rim is very seldom used now and the "rim" is often called the "wheel".

It seems like spring is in the air for good here, roller coaster temperatures and lots of rainy sour days, and an occasional freezing night.

All stay safe and get well

Use caution on your delivery, Lou.

Does anyone know the year of this farmall A by the serial number?

I believe it's a B, and 1939, one of the first two hundred made.

Good Morning!!!! 43F @ 7:30AM. A mix of clouds and sun, with gusty winds developing this afternoon. High 58F. Winds NW at 20 to 30 mph. Higher wind gusts possible.

Many, many years ago a friend's derraileur got sucked into his chain on the first day of a week long tour on Cape Cod. Fortunately we had a chain breaker, so we removed the broken part and just shortened the chain. Didn't slow him down much, and thank goodness there weren't many hills...

Pretty sure I could not be that trusting after the wild goose chase last year, Engineer. You could at least get on Google Maps and use the Street View to verify that there is such an address and that it looks like a house.

Realtor has another showing lined up for 6PM this evening, then another tomorrow morning. All it takes is one...

Got a little more paperwork to finish, then I need to get the grass cut. It really went nuts last week while I was out of town.

That should pretty much finish off the day.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

68°F and no rain

Got more mowing done yesterday. Except for doing the dogs area with push mower likely take a few days break.

Firmware update to solar controller went well. First time I’d ever updated that piece, but have replaced it a time or 2 with upgrades.

Probably make a PO run, should be a couple items arriving that have poor tracking.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Use caution on your delivery, Lou.

Well I'm home successful sale and delivery of a set of Equinox wheels that had just been gathering dust, full asking price and an additional $50 for delivery. Nice guy friendly and easy to find with the gps, especially after I had googled him and his address last night.

Having worked with tire and wheels for 40 years. We called it a “tire and wheel assembly”. Rim is where the weight was applied to a steel and some aluminum wheels for balancing.

I always thought it was the wheel and the tire, and the edge of the wheel as you say is the rim.
Tire rack calls them wheels

got the rv cleaned up and then back and forth with some guy texting me about the rv, wanted me to run some background check on it that only I as owner
could run. Horse manure. Here's the vin, pay to run it yourself. Pretty sure he has never owned an rv, asking questions more car related. Thinks an online report will tell him what shape vehicle is in. you wish.
maybe he bought a flood car before, ?

roses arrived, need to go soak them in water.
and hopefully soon get a call saying my car is ready to be picked up.

excellent news Frits
