Winter Tires: The Follow-up.

Well, all is well. The tires are good, the vibration is gone, and I'm a happy camper. I also have a tire shop to recommend to people. Frisby Tire on Industrial Road, Ottawa . As I'd set up with them, last Wednesday I drove over at 11am and handed the keys over. I chatted with the guys behind the counter a bit, who're all car guys. They were running a little behind schedule, so, I ended up ...

And the Saga Continues...

I never do things the easy way, when it comes to cars. The other day, I was talking about my new winter tires , and how good they were. I also started to talk about what appears to be a manufacturer's defect in one tire. As noted, both 1010tires.com and Pirelli Canada have been excellent in their customer response so far. Pirelli went as far as to find the closest dealer to my home, for ...

Looking Back

So, I went out to Arnprior, in hopes of getting some fall colour pics, and... nothing. Not quite there yet. What I did get was rained on. Before I was rained on? Looking Back f/4.5, 1/50th second, ISO 200 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5, Nikon D70s, Hoya circular polarizer Also: and:

It's That Time of Year Again.

Yup. Winter tires. I'm not going to yell at you all again. I'm going to yell at you, in the past. If you need any explanation any more as to why you should buy winter tires if you live anywhere that drops to freezing (0oC/37oF), then go see my rant from last year . But you should already know that winter tires aren't snow tires, they're cold-weather tires that help you in the snow. That said, ...

Beefing about the Iphone.

Ok, it's more an Apple beef. They charge a bunch for the iPhone, we all know this. They charge a bunch for the related accessories, too. Anything that's pure white, and has the little "apple" on it, costs more than the usual. So given that a replacement set of headphones for the iPhone is at LEAST Forty Bucks, why are my headphones falling apart less than a year after buying the device? I'm ...

From the Bizarre World of Boozysmurf's mind...

Christmas-party, District Attorney McCoy (of Law&Order fame) in attendance, is very happy with his 'secret santa' gift of pornography. Shift, and he's serving the buffet from behind a Loblaws-style meat counter, from which I recieve two slices of roast beef, one slice of turkey, and one lump of zombie, in a Tim Hortons cup, topped up with gravy. Then it all gets weird. I shit you not. This is ...

Strange Things Are Afoot At The Circle K.

It's been a while,s o it's time for one of them rambling updates, cut for your displeasure. It's time for a blood test again, for one thing. I don't know for sure, but, I'm not convinced the sublingual B12 is doing the trick these days. I've been on it for about ten weeks now (after being on bi-weekly shots), and the idea was that the sublingual thing would bypass what we thought was the ...

Books. Always with the Books.

My reading is, as always, insane. It still amazes me how much I get through, given the amount of time I don't have to read. Since vacation , I've finished a few, and bought even more. My current reading list? Ridiculous. I've gone crazy on the bargain books recently. The "To Be Read" pile Currently (in case you can't see it properly): Mr. B. Gone , Clive Barker Wrath of a Mad God...
