<\/a>New Tires!<\/center><\/p>\n

On Wednesday I left work at about 11:00 PM, and took almost an hour to drive home, turning my car almost sideways on M-59 twice. It was only once I got home that I noticed the main reason: my tires are down to the wear marks, leaving very little tread.<\/p>\n

So, I hurriedly sorted out getting new tires and had them installed Friday morning. By the way, if you are in my area and need car work done, I suggest Shelby Tire<\/a> over in Utica. Their prices are reasonable, and they are an independent shop which does both tires and other car repairs. This is where Danielle had a new wheel bearing done as well, and the price was good and the service was really quick (~2.5 hours).<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s a bunch more moblog photos which I uploaded this morning:<\/p>\n

· Mushrooms on toast, farmhouse cheddar, and cheap red wine. This is the perfect dinner after working until 11pm. Danielle prepared the mushrooms while I was at work.<\/a>
\n· The Burger King breakfast menu board, as I stopped on the way to work after getting new tires on my car.<\/a>
\n· My car at about 11pm after leaving work really late one evening in the middle of a snow storm.<\/a>
\n· Lil Tater! at Penn Station in Rochester, MI.<\/a>
\n· Two hunks of farmhouse cheddar, a dulce de leche brownie, and some jam\u00f3n ib\u00e9rico, all from Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor.<\/a>
\n· The coffee roaster at Nino Salvaggio in Troy, MI.<\/a>
\n· Sending the lens for Danielle back to the person I bought it from via eBay. It doesn’t work right (front element is loose).<\/a>
\n· Wow. A Mac running OS 9. I haven’t seen one of these in years. (In Bob’s basement at IPM.)<\/a>
\n· Inside of the U of M Dearborn SLRC, where Danielle works. <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
