I did a lot of research on tires. I've been meaning to rotate my tires. I'm going to do it myself this week. Only my front ones really wear out. You are supposed to rotate them for that reason. It is front wheel drive. I'm also only going to replace the front set as well, which is supposed to be just fine and even recommended. Have any of you guys done that?

Yeah if you don't rotate on a regular schedule the front tires will disappear way faster than the back. The point of rotation is to make them wear out at the same rate.
That said, if you get two new ones you should put them on the back and move the current back ones to the front. This is what most tire shops have told me.
I've gone through a fuckton of tires and have changed two at a time before, and it's fine though it's not my ideal situation.
Just never let the tread on any tire get below the top of Lincoln's head on a penny when you insert it upside down.

I think I am just going to order two tires from Discount Tires, and replace my front two tires, because they are already worn to to the safety tread things. But I will be rotating my tires now, to ware all of the tread down. I will not be replacing my back tires, which have a ton of tread still.

I absolutely hate anyone who has an "off-grid" channel on Youtube.

But, if you can find chill people who homestead, live off-grid, who don't make pandering content, they are usually awesome. Like this guy. Traplines and Inlines. He's Canadian, and a riot, really funny guy.

I've been finishing up my shed. I had to re-frame a section of my roof joists that I did not do right the first time. But I'm almost completely done with the framing and siding, and it is ready to trim and paint.

I don't know why, but the main bearing on the diesel heater fan looses its lubrication over time. I think just from all of the air flow. I oiled it up good though finally. It is running like new. They are really solid units though.

[user428]

I'm sure grease would be better to use on it. But I can't remove the bearing from the heater. So oil is second best.

I'm cooking like 8 pounds of chicken, 4 in my slow cooker, 4 on my barbecue.

I went grocery shopping in this mountain town South of me that I've never actually been to, instead of the larger town which is more towards Flagstaff where I usually go. I ended up taking the long way home, and it took about an hour and a half. I had to stop to get ice just to keep my food cold. So I am cooking all of my meat today, since it needs to get cooked now.

Dude that town is cursed too. Some of these small towns, you can tell the government does not like them. And they don't maintain the highways going to them. So I actually got my windshield cracked too, bc the highway is not maintained and gravely, and I was driving fast too.

[user428]

There are two towns like that I have discovered around here. And when people talk about them, it's like they are cursed and kind of back water scary places.

[user428]

The other towns around here are actually really nice. And the roads get paved every single year, to give your a comparrison. Show Low is like a really nice town. That is where I usually go. They got hella money there too.

I'll start hocking some bushcraft products for this thread MO. Alex Jones style. We'll get rich, for sure.

[user428]

I was texting this lady that I know in that town. She said that wasn't normal. So maybe I'm wrong. But dang that was bad luck having a rock hit my windshield my first trip down there. That highway road was beat to shit too, which is odd for AZ because they have really good roads.
