Good morning. 💻🚶‍♂️‍➡️🐕‍🦺

3 September 2025

Ever bought just one tire? I usually go in fours. But a few years ago, while traveling, I picked up a bolt in the sidewall of a nearly new tire. I had one of those baby spares—good for getting you off the road but not much else—so I had to buy a single tire just to get home.

Problem was, I couldn’t find the same brand. So, I bought a different one. Then, once I got home, I replaced that oddball with a match for the original set. In the end, I bought two tries to replace one. And I was left with an extra, which I eventually gave away. The math made my head spin.

Still, it beat my younger days, when “a set of tires” wasn’t even in my vocabulary. Back then, four different brands on one car was normal. Replacing a blowout with a used retread? That was luxury.

The battery of my daughter's laptop just died the day before the first day of school... 😩

...and obviously this battery is only sold on some dodgy website... 😖

#GoogleMaps took us to wrong address & we ended up getting stuck in this mud pit last week - trying to get to our cabin rental. We absolutely lucked out that property owner was super cool AND he has a lot of professional towing experience & rescuing people from situations like this. He ended up towing us out with his Snowcat - vid of last part of our tow out from mudpit:

I hate #FoodWaste

This might be well out of date but the bag was still sealed, it's been kept in a dark cupboard, there's no pressure build up in the bag and it's dried fruit.
