If you want to know what old really feels like then wait till you have 7-8 grand kids, this all happens just when all your used to is the sound of silence........until they all come to visit at once.

I did have fun until I bent a rim on my Bobcat, didn't hurt the tire.......as far as I know but the rim maybe toast. It`s $228 plus 10% for tasxes for a new rim if I can`t straighten it.

You`re right, anything can be fixed.
This one is bad, the outside of the rim is flattened for about 4-5 inches so it`s not quite as round any more!. A machinist friend that enjoys a serious challenge figures he can straighten it this weekend. Likely it`ll take abit of heat for the final touch.
While it`s annoying and $$$ it`s no biggie, I`ve got 2 spare tires and rims.
