Elevate the machine so it can spin the rear wheel while stationary.  Get a beltsander with about 120 grits.
Spin the wheels and float the beltsander back and forth across spinning treads till glazed hard rubber is removed.  Don't remove too much rubber but definitely break the glaze of the treads.

You should be good for another couple of years.  Replacing very 3 years especially with 4+ply tires gets EXPENSIVE!!!

Morning folks,

How goes? Rather overcast here but a mate of mine is still planning on holding a BBQ so we shall see how it goes?

Got down to Bisley yesterday, zeroed the .257 Roberts with the 117 gr SST Superperformance, seems to like the round well enough so will give it a go. Had some funt shooting the .44 mag. 240gr bullets defo the way to go as opposed to the 180gr.

Also tried to get my buddy shooting his 2moa aimpoint on top of his .375H&H better. It would have been easier if he hadn't

1) Had a hangover
2) Followed the arrows on the aim point rather than always just looking at what the dot did in relation to the bore
3) slowed down when shooting
4) fixed his flinch...

To say a bit frustrating was an understatement...

Bisley is indeed a great place. It went through a period of being rather unwelcoming and crusty to new comers but is getting better and more open. I do think it is funny, Ruger makes the "Bisley" series of revolvers and we can't own them in the UK...

Mornin’ all, this is a very ugly Spring. Flooding on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River and no end in sight. Raining now and forecast for the next 5 days.

Well, The Zero-turn has returned to service.... And I must say she's cutting beautifully!!!  Finished re-assembly Saturday morning.
I was able to get ou and cut the yard Saturday and she didn't even strain going thru 8"+ tall grass....

It started drizzling within 20 minutes of me finishing the yard, boy I'm glad I didn't procrastinate like I'm prone to do....  It rained all day Sunday... Say What

Garden flooded again... Maybe I'll get it all in this week if the good lord cooperates... Cool
