Well here it is Wed. already so I guess we are over the hump day, did a little more work on the site here the last couple of evenings. It’s looking not bad but I’m still not happy with it and there will likely be more changes in the coming days ahead.

Had the car in yesterday for it’s regular service (oil change etc.) and priced up new tires, yeah it’s time the car has 43,300 Km on it and it’s not two years old yet it will be two years old the end of this coming July. Anyway it’s time to do some shoping for tires I guess, the quote I got from the dealer for 4 Uniroyal installed, balanced, & all Taxes in was $572.00. Cars are like money pits you know, maybe we should go back to one of these I guess.
