![]() I had to take a shot with just the tires, because as we know, it's all about the tires. |
I used to cruise the river behind my house for pleasure all the time. Old tires never bothered me. Then I made the mistake of picking one out of the river, and now I can't help myself if I see one below my boat. Gotta get it.
Now that the river is summer-shallow, they are easier to spot and haul out with my trusty hook. Why not. it gets me out in my boat, and that's the best thing of all.
![]() All seven tires fit into the back of my Ford Focus,. I folded the backseats up, and covered all upholstery with a tarp first. Then off to the tire pile at the local body shop, where they will be picked up and sent to Minto for recycling. |
