And oh yes, suits suck.

See, another happy person.... I just had a set of tires mounted on my 18" lightweight wheels at Wal-Mart... They did an excellent job, in that the wheels are perfectly balanced, and they will rotate and balance them free for life... The people are actually quite competent in my area.



And oh yeah, its nice to wear a suit every once in a while.

I actually did go to the Walmart closest to my house to see if they could do it, but that one did not have a garage.

Some of us don't have the room or inclination for such stuff. If I was going to be doing lot more of this sort of thing, maybe. I'm trying to get rid of stuff now. I'd like to be able to live in a place half the size of my current house.
