4 February 2008












Snow in front of our house The neighbor kids on the snow pile in front of the
neighbors house today.


January 31, 2008 It’s now the end of January. It has snowed every other day since the 15th. In between some of the snow has melted but we still have about 12inches on the ground, with more moisture than we have had in several years.

I bought 4 new tires in July from Big O Tire Co. and had Big O do a lube job at the same time. Since then we have had continual vibrations through the steering wheel. I had the front wheels realigned and rebalance three times and it didn’t solve the problem. I took it to Davis Dodge and they replaced the brake on the front wheels. The problem still existed. Davis replaced the brake Calipers twice and finally replaced the master cylinder. It appears the some way oil got into the brake system and the whole front brake system had to be replaced. Finally I took the car to a shop that has a dynamometer. They said that the tires I got from Big O were faulty. After a rather heated discussion with Big O they replaced the two front tires. The vibration went away. Needless to say I will not get tires from Big O again. We have spent about $600.00 on the car in the last months. I guess we can’t complain sinc we have about 146,000 miles on the car at this point.

I think you should see what your missing.
