At 8:00 am I took the truck downtown to have new tires put on the front. I was going to wait for the truck to be done but Bud and I planned a ride for today so he followed me down so we could leave it and they would call when it was done. Bud, John, Jack and I headed south this morning and made a stop at the Bradenton Harley dealer. It was a very windy ride as the wind pushed us around some. From there we headed for Anna Maria Island. The traffic was very heavy with a lot of stop and go. It was hot and the bikes didn’t like it and we didn’t either so we turned around and headed back. We made a stop at Burger King for lunch and to let the bikes cool off. Then we took a roundabout way home. It wasn’t quit as windy going back north. 170 miles later we were back home by 4:15 pm. Bud took me back down town to pick up the truck. The new tires are on and they put a balancing powder in the wheels instead of putting weights on them. They tell me most all the semi’s on the road use this to balance their tires. Will I took it for a ride and it wasn’t good; I had a bad shake in the front end so I went back to the tire place and told them about the problem. They failed to tell me that the powder is in a bag and I have to drive a ways so the bag will break and distribute the powder. I didn’t feel like heading out to where I could get the truck up to a speed to get the bags to break. Maybe tomorrow I will have time to do it. Cheri and Grandma we out for lunch at I-Hop’s in Dade City, then Cheri did some shopping and also stopped to visit with Bev.
