That's no problem... it'll skim off with the clips and other trash!

My wife and I walked by a loose wheelweight in Wally World parking lot just day before yesterday. As I stooped to pick it up, she grabbed my arm and said "What are you doing?" No you don't, she sez." I came out of the store before she did, and it went home in my pocket.

One of the many ways I know that my wife is one of the best. We were walking across a busy street, hand in hand, when she jerked me to a stop. I looked at her as if I thought she had suddenly gone nuts. She then said, "tire weight." Sure enough, there was a two ouncer I had almost stepped on. Needless to say, that one went home with us.

.................Imashooter2, I just wanted to say that that was a fine looking WW you got there and I'm envious of it

. All you larcenous guys got me thinking and I propose a car wash as a good way to get WW's and they'd be clean too!

When you score like that, a celebration is in order!

Yup. Hit your local Costco on a saturday morning, stay low and work fast and lots of nuggets to be had.

**Scrounger** · 02-02-2007, 09:48 AM

Just put out the word to the local teenagers of whatever type you have around. Make it clear you don't want any tires, hubcaps, or cars attached. Doubly make sure you keep your car in a locked garage...

My girls are starting to date which brings an idea to mind. I always inspect the suiters for clothes that actually fit, ear rings and their vehicles for good tires, high brake pedal, seatbelts and a full tank of fuel. Maybe I should tell them they need to show up at the house bearing wheelweights as a gift to me for allowing them to date my daughter. The standard could be a 3 gallon bucket gets a 9pm curfew, a 4 gallon gets them 10pm curfew and a 5 gallon gets them 11pm. What do you think?

Not going to touch that one no 1!

**felix** · 02-02-2007, 11:39 AM

I like it, Robert! But, make sure they don't spend too much time in the parking lots before getting the lead. ... felix

3 days per week I ride my bicycle to work about 8 miles each way. I have been known to throw out the anchors and come to a grinding halt in order to recover a wheel weight on the road. Waste not, want not.

They can bring all the 5 gal buckets they want. I will only allow 1 bucket to be used per date. They can "bank" the rest for future use. I feel I will come out ahead on this deal since they do not like the boys after the first date. Now I think about it, I think they should bring 2 buckets full and pay for the second date in advance. I will be sure to let them know about my "no refund" policy....

Hi guys new here, my local tire shop GAVE me 3 90# buckets. Nice guy's next time I go by I'll slip him some cash.

**Navahojoe** · 02-02-2007, 08:54 PM

I have a nephew that works in a local tire shop. His employers sell their wheelweights for cash. Lucky Me! He gets me a bucket so large that the car lift has to pick it up and we back my truck under it to load, for $20. I cant complain. Good Nephew!
