This tire talk reminds me of a great tire man we had in a logging camp shop I worked in up coast.Worksafe inspector comes into camp and gives us the once over in the shop,interviewing each of us about various procedures in our trades. Gets to the tire man ,he looks around the tire shop and theres a split rim dent in the metal roof from years gone by. Whats your procedure on those split rims he asks? Tire man grabs an assembled tire and leans it against the tire cage ,gets his air hose . Then he climbs into the tire cage carefully puts the the safety chain s in their hooks ,reaches outside the cage and begins airing up the tire. Worksafe guy shakes his head walks away with a sour look on his face then heads to the cookhouse ,not sure if he wanted lunch or to pick on the cooks. We were all cracking up in the other end of the shop.
