The internet seems to experience a Denial of Service Attack after 8pm-ish and occasionally during the dayshift.

The Boss says he hasn't got a notice from Verizon nor anyone else.

I would think that if Verizon was working the DSL that they would post a subscriber notice.

But then, should there have been a notice, then it likely went to the people who pay the bill and that's not us.

Thanks. I'm glad it ended up being as easy and as cheap as it was. (Although there are always a couple of bolts that test your abilities as a circus contortionist, I feel sore)

Actually I did run across the remains of a 1" o-ring (or what was left of it). There was a decent size chunk of it missing, and it was covered in dirt so you could tell it had been around for a while. Not sure if this qualifies as "left over" or not, but it sure gets you wondering

Does your driver's policy cover the damage without getting into the deductible as it wasn't your fault?

Are those 36" tires rated for 72mph?
I know the 19.5" rim 35.4" tires I want for my van are rated up to 75mph, after that I'm on my own.

Maybe I wasn't that clear. I was driving the F350 4X4 dualy. The inside rear passenger tire blew. They are the correct size and load rating for the vehicle, load range E.

Though I can't say everything on my Van is necessarily DOT compliant either.

But should I crash from a tire failure, well officer
