      Hope you're all having a lovely Saturday!

      I just had to take my winter tires and rims BACK out of my car and into the shed as I was dumb and put them in my car to take to the garage thinking they're good for another winter when it turns out the tires are pretty much on the wear bars....

      ....so, I dug around on Kijiji and found a lady selling a set of Accent rims with Michelin X-Ice tires on them for $300. I got 'em for a little bit less, so have to pick those up this morning. πŸ™‚

      Two computer appointments on for this morning and then I have the afternoon off before going to a concert this evening. An old friend I rarely see invited me face-to-face and I really didn't feel like going at all as it's not my type of music...but it's hard to say no to somebody when you're face to face. I'm sure it will be great, but yeah....just not what I felt like doing with my evening.

      Have a dirty post-overnight-rain Humdrum as of 5 minutes ago for your time...oil change done last week, undercoating booked next week and then I just need to get my new winter rims/tires on, then she's sorted for the winter! I really need to get a non-UV-damaged passenger side headlight assembly...

          @pip-bip Yup, and from a decent brand not just a cheap one...I've had cheap tires before from China, etc and for normal driving they're fine as long as you're careful. Nice to know I'll have something decent for once!

                                Sounds like an interesting day. My in-laws are still in my house and everyone is making plans for me for my weekend. Wanna trade?

                                Never discount the possibility that you might live through it.

                                  @rallydarkstrike "Working" (it's Saturday, it really means I started my machine and am playing online until it's done running) this morning, then we're going to friends to rip around on karts/utvs/wheelers, then doing dinner and playing cards.
                                  Should be a nice day.

                                  Nice find on the winter wheels!

                                    @gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas I've had it supposedly professionally done twice now....no idea if it's that the UV coating they put on it is shit or if they don't even bother, but both times it's come back to about this within a month or two...

                                        Have you thought about getting a scooter or the like to give you a little bit of personal transport to get yourself out and about for fun when you need a little cruise? πŸ™‚

                                          @bicyclebuck Thankfully I do not yet have to deal with inlaws.....would need to find the time to find a girlfriend first....sadly working two jobs means my time is rather short.

                                          I was hoping the housing scene would cool down so I could get my own place and so that I could actually go out and try and find somebody and not work as hard, but alas....who knows how long it will be until I get my own place at this rate!

                                            Yup, I just got home from picking them up....the steelies aren't perfect, but fairly rust free...and the tires look to be in excellent shape, so I'm pleased. Just need to find time to try and get them bolted on!

                                                    @farscythe That's great news friend, keep us apprised on how it all works out for you! I know what you mean...mom, who is a retired teacher, gets frustrated sometimes because a lot of her friends her age get discounts and handouts from the government, but she earns just enough from her pension that she doesn't get them...even though she doesn't really earn a LOT either...

                                                      So you’re effectively a student right now on a student budget.

                                                      I’d suggest checking out local things to do that you haven’t done that are free.

                                                      Right now I’m also on a tight budget because I’m about to spend cad$17k redoing the he roof on my house.

                                                      So my girlfriend wanted us to go to a Christmas event on a farm. But when I saw that tickets were $15 per person and everything there was overpriced and it would be a 2hour round trip drive (meaning at least $15 in fuel), I nixed that idea and I looked up a bunch of Xmas stuff we could do that is cheap or free that is much closer to us.
