Reading the cryptic letters and numbers on your tire

Tire Type - This Defines the intended proper use of the tire. P indicates this is a passenger car tire while LT indicates the tire would be for a light truck with a heavier load rating.

Tire Width - This is the width of the tire measured in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall. An example might be 215 representing 215 millimeters.

Aspect Ratio - This is the the ratio of the height of the tire's cross-section to its width. An example of this might be 65, which means that the height is equal to 65% of the tire's width.

To calculate the aspect ratio, multiple the first number (e.g. 215) by the second number with a decimal before the number (e.g. .65). Using the example numbers the tires aspect ratio would calculate as 215x.65=139.75 where 139.75 is the tires height in millimeters. This is the height of the rubber from rim to tread on one side of the tire.

To convert the aspect ratio to a full tire height in inches, do this:Convert the above calculated tire height (aspect ratio) in millimeters to inches by multiplying the millimeters by .03937 (139.75 x .03937 = 5.5 inches). Then take the inches and multiply by two and add the rim size. Example: 5.5 x 2 + 15 (rim size in inches) = a 26 inch tall tire.

Boarding at Mohawk Mt. & Belleayre Mt

I went boarding at Mohawk Mountain in Cornwall, Ct. They had some powder on top of made made granular.

The head wall is the has the most vert. For an hour's drive away, I'll take it anyday over the bump up in Patterson.

They just officially opened up for the season yesterday, they were blowing snow and doing alot of grooming. It should be great today.We went up to Belleayre Mountain. It is a 2 hour drive. Emma is still learning how to ride. She is coming off a fractured wrist from last season. I took her on the lower half of the mountain, where she developed the feel for toe edge\heel edge exchange and was able to link the turns. The last run of the day, I took her to the upper part and in spite of icy conditions did well. She knows how to garland in case the slope is to steep or icy. Kove passing Emma on the lower mountain runs.James in a full tuck, trying to catch up to Kove.A little spill.Good heel edge.
A long tiring day.

New Look for Picasojo Art Studios

I was getting bored of Special k as my header, so I decided to switch to something but didn't know what was worthy of this front Page status. After going to the Village of Brewster Christmas tree lighting, and seeing how beautiful this village looked with all the Christmas decorations I decided to pay homage to the Sleepy little village by having a photo I took of the recently renovated Brewster Train Station as my new header for Picasojo Art Studios. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Here are some photos from that evening, featuring the Walter Brewster House in all it's grandeur The new Christmas Tree in Brewster Square.
