Wow! Just got home from tire searching. Expensive!! Belle Tire was just over $1300 for 4 Michelin. Discount was just under $1000 for same tire. Including military veteran discount. But they didn't have all 4 in stock. So hope in a week I can get this done. Long gone are the days where I could get 4 tires for less than $500.... I'm shocked!!
Oh well, I need them....just need to be a bit patient now and wait.

Did some research and I agreed with him, got the same brand. RIP, and thanks, Al, you are missed.

Wife now has a fist full of drugs,,,suspect C-19 Yippie me.
Wife car need trans fluid flush sometime in the next 30K manual says between 50-80K. I often wonder about these recommended intervals.
Wife's car also needs 2 tires and we need a new/pre owned fridge, I looked at new ones they start at 1k for a decent one... I'm beginning to act like my dad at the prices.

I got a new fridge a couple years ago, was surprised to find the one I liked best was a bit under $800, and still was this summer. Over under doors (I had a side by side once, hated it), no electronic frills, slightly smaller than the previous one but holds more. I think most refrigerators are designed for marketing, not usefulness. Cars, too. Anything Microsoft. Houses. Government...

Just thought, I've had some tv streaming glitches and I have a pretty old router. I should see if I can get a better one for a good price online today. I've already spent over $1000 on stuff that's been on my shopping list that I've been putting off and actually were a lot cheaper than usual price. I don't browse sale items though, just search for what I actually want to buy. I'd never make a good woman, even if I thought I was one. Which I don't.

The decoration period has begun which means I have to trim all of the bushes in front of the front fence to half their height. They’ll grow back quickly next spring and be larger than before.

I was 363 pounds on 4/17/22 I am now fluctuating between 245-255 I did not weigh myself this month as I really slacked off with hurting my back the death of my nephew and SIL and toss in turkey day and all the garbage food that goes with it, today I'm back to my ''normal'' schedule although tomorrows walk is in jeopardy as it will be low 40° and I don't own any cool weather clothing, I gave it all away because it was 4 sizes to big.
I can say with all honesty if I had not made the life changes when I did I would most likely be in a urn next to my son on the book case.
