i just had a new set of bt020's put on yesterday morning
to replace the originals. as i rolled out of kc engineering
(great little independent shop in san francisco, by the way)
i watched the odo go 10498, 10499, 10500! i was just hitting
the wear bars a week or two ago, but had to wait for the jury
i was on to finish up (4 weeks to the day!) before i could
schedule the time.

which reminds me, better take the long coastal route home to 
ensure proper removal of any mold release compound... ;)
