Re: [QUAD-L] Mushy tires

[Bobbie Humphreys]

What happens ti me with my tires is I'll get a sticky substance THEN a tissue 
or napkin will stick to my tire and I'll be riding around with this tissue 
riding around with me. People who see me pretend they don't see it because they 
don't want to unstick it. So, I wait till I get home and find someone to take 
it off and toss it out.

Fwd: [QUAD-L] Mushy tires

[Larry Willis]

Billy is right. It's Murphy's law for quads. There can be a single piece of gum 
on a football field and my wheel will find it. The hard/softness of the tire 
makes a big difference in the comfort of the ride. Too hard makes your bones 
rattle when you are traveling a rough surface. Tough on the tailbone. I suspect 
avoidance is the only sure way to fix the mud and poo problem.

Re: [QUAD-L] High Protien drinks or shakes

[Quadius]

I've been using boost off and on.  I find it to be good, but I use it
mainly as a substitute for a meal.  Works out pretty well, but I noticed a
little while ago that if I'm not careful I can gain weight quicker using
this stuff.

If you have pronounced treads on your tires... you will gather and retain

Re: [QUAD-L] Mushy tires

[Bill Lang]

Any tire will get dirt in treads and squeak when wet, depending on the 
flooring, and the medium that lubricated the tire (water, Snow, Slush, ice, 
mud, wet sand, etc.) The firmness of the tire will decrease the amount of crud 
that gets transferred to the floor dependent on the floor type. Wether the tire 
has inserts, air or is a solid core has minimal effect on the amount of crud 
transferred or the volume of the squeaking.

It should be obvious that I have too much time on my hands. On this subject 
there is one axiom that will always be true: 

IF THERE IS DOGGIE POOP I WILL FIND IT WITH MY TIRES. THE POOP WILL ALWAYS BE 
IN THE TIRE WITH THE MOST TREAD. GETTING IT OUT OF THE TIRES WILL BE SOMEONE 
ELSE'S THANKLESS JOB, FOR WHICH I CAN NEVER SAY " SORRY " ENOUGH TIMES.

Stay away from poop my friends.

Good morning everybody and have been meaning to write sooner but  time 
seems to fly by at times. It's my anniversary of 19 years post  injury as of 3 
PM today. It seems kind of weird because I was 19 when  the car accident 
happened. For the most part I feel like I'm on top of  the world well at least 
for someone dealing with spinal injury. Have  been in the process these last 
few months on getting a new chair from  21st-century products. Medicaid had 
no problem of approving it with no  denial except for the paint color which 
I have to pay out-of-pocket. I  have remained extremely active outside of my 
home on a daily basis of  voluntary and employment. About three months ago 
I moved into a much  bigger place under government subsidized apartments 
which offered me a  three-bedroom unit versus the shoebox sized one-bedroom I 
had before.  Unfortunately without the property management Not being up front 
with  me about room dimensions,I had to take the living room but my live-in 
 roommate now has a bedroom of her own. Next month I will be going on  
vacation to celebrate my grandpa's 90th birthday down in Tucson. That  is where 
all my family is and I visit about every year  or so.  Medically I really 
can't complain about anything, with no skin issues  that I'm having to deal 
with for the moment. The morning temperatures  here in northern Indiana the 
last week has been down in the low 20s  with daytime temperatures barely in 
the 40s. It is always so much fun  to get my body to adjust for these 
temperatures and I'm the one  choosing to say here in this cold climate. After 
being 
employed at  target for over 17 years now in customer service you learn a 
little  bit on how retailers rotate their inventory on a regular basis. The  
last couple Springtime I found some excellent deals on jackets at  Sears at 
70 to 80% off the regular retail price which have been  keeping me warm and 
toasty at least for the top  half of me. I  thank you all for your ongoing 
encouragement and hope the best for all  of you. From Monty of Indiana 3/4 
complete 19  years
