That's it. Good Job!

This may be a tough one for some of you. This was here in town not on the darkside.

I wish I could get 4 tires for $100. I would bet if I went to a used tire place I couldn't get that price anymore. Things have changed in the US over the last 20+ years.

Tires on new cars generally are called mileage saver and have less weight for better gas milage (also less tread). Expect to get about 50k kilometers or less on them. They are cheaper for the car company. If you want quiet tires then name brand are generally going to be better. I get Michelin (130k km) for my nice car because if I break it down the cost of mounting/balancing and road hazard adds to the cost and I would have to pay those fees twice with cheap tires on a car I drive quite a bit and they ride nice. I have another car I don't drive much and on those I buy the cheap tires with a 65k kilometer tread life and they have been great just a bit louder. I have heard that cheaper tires use less natural rubber and that is what can make them louder. I have heard of people when buying a new car negotiating to get better tires to close the deal. Larry - It's been a while since you bought a car tire as I just bought one on sale at Walmart for $53 and it was their cheapest size tire. With mounting, balancing and tax it was $77 usd. The brand is "Douglas Tire" and they've been great so far.

Yes that's definitely within view of your balcony. I'm glad it's not too loud. I hope this doesn't become a new Thai nightlife area where they go after work. As long as it's one or two places it shouldn't be too bad but that area has undeveloped land that could turn into anything. There has been some money put into trying to develop some of the land there into food stalls but that appears to be a bad idea as I only saw one or two open at any time.

I will add that if it wasn't on the drinking edge of the cup I wouldn't care.

Went to Time bar today for breakfast. When the waitress brought my cup of coffee there was an ant crawling around the lip of the cup. I showed her and she promptly smashed it and wiped her finger off and pushed the cup towards me. I didn't expect a new brew but a fresh empty cup I thought would be in order. I asked for one and she looked at me like "why?" And then brought me an empty cup. So roast me if you want but are my expectations too high?

Thanks for the descriptive report!

I'm in Ohio currently and I believe we have one of the largest amount of people vaccinated in the US and there is no bloodbath. I don't think it's going poorly here at all. Several months ago we were in trouble with all of the US though. People in Ohio have to register to win as they can not automatically enter you to win. They will draw names and then verify they have had their shots. I feel the governor being first to do this is better than any advertising campaign money spent to encourage vaccination. There has been an increase in people going to get their first shot since this was announced.

Agreed this is a move in the right direction but I think they said 3.months again before they re-evaluate the situation on ASQ. I was starting to consider the 7 day but not now if it's 10 days.

I just heard that in April they only lowered it to 10 days of quarantine. This is still not worth it for me to book for a 2 month trip. Bummer

I will try that. Thank you Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
