    Default I am the King of dumbasses

    I thought y'all would enjoy a laugh at my expense this afternoon...

    I don't have a workbench, so I've been using stacks of tires to support the pieces of the new trailer as I assemble them. Well, I was drilling the holes to bolt the deck to the trailer frame this afternoon... and I managed to drill a hole in one of my race tires.

    Tack on another $158 to the total project bill to have one Ecsta V700 shaved, heat-cycled, and 2nd day air'ed so that I'll have it this weekend.

    Am I a dumbass or what?

    I think actually admitting it to this group may make you the dumbass

    (I'm sorry I couldn't help it)

    I would have believed it if you just told us it was a Mineral Wells screw in the tire. Think my neighbors would have heard me yelling if I did that!! This will just be too good to pass up for the rest of the year. hisssssssss,

    still LOL but I feel your pain.
