Every flat so far has been due to a different, located and corrected puncture

At the risk of beating a very dead horse- are you clocking the tire to the rim when you put it back on? Lining up the label to the valve isn't just an OCD thing; it makes it easier- only two areas to check- to find a burr in the tire if you have a flat.

700x40 was the size I was looking for originally, I just looked them up and I think those would be way way better tan the 42s offered before

Mine are schwalbe marathons though, so like flats are done.

I have an honest gut feeling that 40 is about the max I can squeeze in, I know a 42 isn't much different and if dude doesn't find the other ones I can give them a shot, but I do know somewhere there's got to be an upper limit of what fits

Get the 40s and see if they fit. If you still get flats and have a few mm on eitger side, let me know. Mine are confusing listed as both 700x40, but also 622-42. Note that tgose two numbers are supposed to measure the same thing and they're kinda wide and have a tread, so I go with the 42 measurement.

There are waffle houses in Amarillo and a Huddle House in Lubbock in a former Waffle House building. There are a few in Albuquerque as well. I didn't bother looking further west, but it's a safe assumption there are waffle houses in California as well.

And Happy State Bank is based out of Happy, TX and there are branches all over the panhandle. If you worked for a Pizza hut in the Midland/Odessa area, it's likely that it's a part of a group of franchises owned by someone in the panhandle, and likely the same people that own most of the PH franchises in west tx.

I bank with HSB, they're good. And I also make the Waffle House on I-27 & Hollywood Rd. a regular stop. :v: I still miss Dave's in Clovis, though, they were the best.

All the Pizza Huts north of Plainview that aren't in Amarillo are owned by a company out of Indiana, though (:suicide:). Amarillo and Plainview and south are owned by another franchise based in either Lubbock or Odessa.

Can you fill the tires with builder's foam or some such? Just stuff them full of grass, as I read in a book about cycling 20 years ago (which remains the only thing I know about cycling)?

No.

Dick, are your valve cores removable? If so you can put some tubeless tire sealant in them. Works really well.

They own Taco Bell and Pizza Hut in Midland/Odessa; here in DFW they only own Pizza Hut in three suburbs (Frisco, Allen, and McKinney, AFAIK), but they have their HQ here I believe (also have offices in Odessa, and may own locations in Amarillo?). I worked for locations in Frisco and Allen.

The franchisee operates as Tumbleweed Pizza Partners in some areas, and Progressive Pizza Partners in others (supposedly PPP here, but my checks usually said Tumbleweed). They also do Taco Bell and a couple of different BBQ places (I just learned they're handling franchising for a BBQ place I like :smith:). The owner lives here, and used to work for Pizza Hut corporate before buying his own stores.

I'm not sure how many stores he really has, since he has them spread out into different LPs depending on area and brand, and he's a fairly tight lipped guy about money and what he owns. He was always kind of a dick when I met him.

For what it's worth, my boy's Grater with 37mm Marathons has at least 5mm of clearance to the nearest chainstay, I think 42's would fit on it.

He has Marathon Pluses which are approaching 7,000km with no punctures and the rear is finally starting to square off because he never rotates them. They're heavy and don't grip or roll worth poo poo but are perfect for cycling in the blasted hellscape that is Reading Valentine.

We had their contract for a bit and had to service all their refrigeration poo poo. Good god those places are disgusting.

Once, during a hungover road trip back from Minneapolis, we stopped by the Denny's in Clear Lake Iowa.

The three of us were in Deep Hurting after a weekend of getting absolutely piss-drunk and playing paintball, so we all ordered breakfast. We got 3 servings of grits. One was a rock hard lump roughly the temperature of the sun. One was warmish soup. And one was the proper consistency, but ice loving cold. We, being reasonable human beings, sent them back. The waitress returns a few minutes later looking nervous, and tells us the manager is cooking, and I quote: "He says they only come that way."

My buddy, being more lucid than I am at this point , eyes the grits, then the waitress, then asks, "Which one of these is that loving way, then?"

We never did get an answer, but the consensus on leaving is that we needed to firebomb that loving Denny's for the good of the world.

I used to live in a rural area that was so far from anything that going to a Denny's in the nearest small town was like a trip to Manhattan. Fortunately there was a kickass local place nearby too.

Country music isn't my thing, but it's better than all those European artists who retired from metal into neofolk, a genre for nazis by nazis (and at least one unironic anarchist).

I've been meaning to try the diner on Central they kept using in Breaking Bad, it looks like just the right level of slightly run down that the food could be both cheap and good.
