    1. Widowmaker. Had an old dump truck with split rims. Couldn’t get anyone to change the tires.

    2. The old deuce and a half and 5 ton cargo trucks had split rims. We also had a tire cage in the shop.

      Delete
    3. Our unit had a Spec 4 decide against using the tire cage and hose extension. He was in a hurry because it was late on a Friday and nobody could leave until maintenance was done. What a mess.

    4. My first split rim experience was with aircraft wheels specifically Lear jets. They took 75 psi, never had one fail. I was 16 at the time and the mechanics gave me this as a test I reckon.

  2. #10 Why we use tire cages to set the beads - also: not a great place to be standing, Mr. Camerman.

  4. #3 Is obviously an excellent pilot. He should do a Mustang racing a Mustang

  5. #10 tires are dangerous. Just heard a story a few weeks ago from a retired Air force mechanic that came back from lunch and a fellow newbie mechanic had literally been blown in half by mounting a landing tire. He had told him to wait until he got back to mount it

    1. In 45 Years as a Jet Mechanic, I never once used a "Tire Cage" to Inflate one of those big Tie-Bolt Wheels.... Because a 40-Ply, 6-Foot Diameter Tire being filled to 210 PSI from a Nitrogen Bottle is just going to make Shrapnel out of it.
      Large or Small, the way we did it was lay the Wheel flat on the Ground, and have a 50-Foot Hose to it; then let it sit for half an Hour (if Time permitted). Even 'Adding Air' to a Tire on a Plane was done with the Locking Chuck and 10-Foot Hose.

    1. Lighten the fuck up. It's a cute gif and was posted as such. Quit skipping your meds.

    2. Interacting with a little kid and being a PART OF THE COMMUNITY is NOT "hopping around like a Kansas City faggot," "Anonymous." The older among us can remember when this is how cops were. They walked the beat in your neighborhood. You knew them. They knew you. They actually GAVE A SHIT. I guess a person who has no name has nothing going for them but bitterness...

    3. Remember when the science teacher used to give us mercury to play with in class?...

      Delete
    4. Kenny -

      Exactly.

    5. What goes on with #4?

    6. I remember those days when cops were part of the community. I've had cops in uniform umpiring little league games, sitting at the fountain and having a soda shooting the breeze with you. Those were good days and this gif took me down memory lane. Thanks man.

      Delete
    7. Bright Eyes - the gif reminds me of my friend and Riverbank cop Ripley. He'd do something like that in a heartbeat.

    8. “ The older among us can remember when this is how cops were.”
      That was then, this is now. This gif is a rarity in a world of kneeling for BLM and having “YOU’RE FUCKED!” dustcovers. The country we grew up in no longer exists.

    9. And he's doing it wearing about 10-20 lbs of equipment while being overweight. He's a good guy.

      Delete
    10. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kenny you said Riverbank without saying the best part.

      Delete
    11. My bad. Riverbank City of Action.

  10. #4 Holy Crap. Does no one remember high school Science class anymore? Mercury is very toxic and can be absorbed through the skin. Gold miners used to get poisoned with the stuff.

    1. fillings from the dentist, covid shots, most vaccines, nothing wrong with mercury.

      Delete
    2. https://wwwn.cdc.gov/TSP/MMG/MMGDetails.aspx?mmgid=106&toxid=24&os=os%2F&ref=app
      mercury vapor esp heated is the major danger - skin contact is supposedly not much an issue but inhalation of fumes is deadly if the dose is high

      Delete
    3. Now, look up dimethyl mercury.

      Delete
  11. Never mind, I saw the glove on the second look.

  15. What the hell have my eyes been subject to seeing

    ReplyDelete
  16. #4 Had a chemistry teacher tell a funny story about a kid in his lab who was fooling around and accidentally swallowed about half a test tube of the stuff. So they held the kid upside down and out came the mercury.

  17. #7 Cuts off just before: "YEEEAAAHHGGH! IT BURNS!!"

  18. Tons of potential energy I am inflated tire. The bigger the tire the more potential for damage. Even a bicycle tire has enough damage to screw up your fingers. Truck tires can and have killed.
