Expedient solution... understood. I was thinking you might have found a
miracle paint, so had to ask. I had been thinking about jacking up the
Scout, one corner at a time, and lowering each mounted tire into a tire tank
filled with a diluted "tire black" solution, then doing a slow rotation by
hand. The thought of that process made your rattle can approach very
appealing! I still might try some paint, but likely I'll just run them old
and ugly until I have the $$ for new ones...

Sounds like a healthy attitude to me.

Old age...  I got a birthday card from my daughter recently. On the front
there's an older couple seated for a portrait, sort of like an old Norman
Rockwell illustration. They each have a word balloon drawn above them. She
says, "Wearing that hot new hearing aid?" He replies, "Yeah... It set me
back $4,000!" On the inside of the card, same picture, she asks, "Wow...
what kind is it?" His response, "12:30". I think you are about the same age
as my daughter, Ryan, so... I aint buyin' it! ~John A.
