You may recognize this as a wheel. If you are particularly knowledgeable, you may realize it is a Truck Wheel. But why is this Truck Wheel the subject of this Post ? Where did it come from ?
And here is a clue to the answer of this question.
If you guessed that the wheel in question, was formerly involved with this Garbage Truck, you would be correct. I congratulate you.
It would seem that one of The Fuzz's co-workers had a bad day. As he was finishing up, and rolling on to the dump, he suddenly found himself without one of his wheels. This sort of complicated his day. In fact it complicated a lot of people's day.
Here is a closer look at the hub. It looks like the brake drum may be a little chewed up. You can see where it gauged out the pavement a little. It also looks like the studs are goners. But that is why we have those highly skilled mechanics working with us.For some unexplainable reason, The Fuzz just happened to have his camera with him, and got these pictures on his own run to the dump. He does not routinely carry one, but was desperate enough for Blog matierial that he grabbed it this morning.
By the way, that wheel was found way out in a field. At the time The Fuzz left, they still hadn't found it's mate. Funny how those things can get away from you like that.

I had the ball joints give out on a van I was driving once. The front drivers side tire folded up under the van. It did not fall off, it just seemed to collapse under the van. Needless to say, the van stopped moving. Lucky for me I was just starting to go from a red light, so when the wheel folded under the van I was not going fast. It could have been nasty if it happened when I was going 40 mph.
WOW, that is wild. So glad nobody was hurt. A flying tire would not be something to meet face-to-face. My friends (the Canvas Monkey boys) had a tire land in their study - after crashing through the woods between the road and their house, jumping a fence and crashing through the picture window. Some rubber has a mid of it's own and places to go, i guess.
"You picked a fine time to leave me Loose Wheel"
What band played that - The Rearend Dragons?
W- They never did find the other tire.
Az- Heard it on the radio, but don't know who did it.
