Sheesh. The Twins are loosing to Texas...

Lynn was just at Rainbow and there was not a single egg on the shelf and there were 7 people ahead of her at the customer service counter returning eggs. Why wouldn't you just throw them away?

I was at Walmart the other day, and I saw about 50 people in line returning Eggs.

All they had for sale there were organic eggs that were about $5.00/dozen.

Troy, that's a good idea, using Lee's truck!

Beth was trying to pawn you off on Facebook too! I suggested you might be okay with that! LOL

Thanks for the tip Dave! I just asked Beth if there was anything she needed to tell me and she just got this big ol smile on her face!! LOL

Yeah the egg thing is ridiculous! Luckily we don't have any of those brands out here that I know of.

Oh, but they are off a Chevy...

They will have a much better life if you get them. Although I am completely unimpressed with Goodyear's traction...

Honestly I hate Goodyear tires in water and snow. They are such a hard compound, they last a long time. But hard equals bad traction. The reason people love Michelin's for traction is because they have a soft compound. They won't last as long, but they go through anything.

A really good tire, that is reasonable is a Cooper Discoverer. In my opinion (for what it's worth) it is the best snow traction tire out there. Even over Michelin.
