new tire time.
264,000km on the car.
Including original all seasons, I think this is my 3rd set of "summer/allseason". Going with high mileage Nokian One.

This will be the end of a 3rd set of winters.

Not cheap, but the most important part on the road.

I've probably bought 12 sets of tires at the same Kaltire shop over the past 25 years across 4 cars.

They're good people.

a true community gathering tonight, and all weekend. We were at a sold out showing of the Martin Mars movie tonight!

It was great! Apparently it will be on Netflix or some other streaming service soon!

A photo of my dad in Port Alberni harbour on the Therma 1. A salmon troller, around 1975-76

He was not often in the PA harbour. I believe this was when they were readying to sell this boat before I was born.

update: just realized my brother is in this photo! he kind of blends in (70s colours) he is in front of my dad sitting sideways. He looks about 5 or 6 so that would make the pic 75/76

Finally managed to weed eat and cut the lawn today and got the last of the gravel moved so that we can get a bobcat in here to level the yard!! Yaaayy!!

Also did some cleaning out on the pond. Turns out the moss is great… until it REALLY latches in and makes space for grass. There was so much into the stream that it was backing up into the top pond, causing it to overflow, and the whole system lose water!

When I pulled up the moss, it pulled much of the gravel with it! So lesson learned. Very light on the moss, no more gravel in the stream, keep things neat and tidy!

In all though, the pond cleared up fast thanks to the barrel filters and all is good!

It is hard to overstate how special these planes were to this town of any in the world. We miss them like family. ❤️

An Earth Day message from me because why not. And because we have to keep fighting for our planet and everything we treasure.
