Well, we did it again.
A year ago, thanks to a promo with Lays chips, we won a 49" Sony Bravia TV. Last week we won a "Sensations" voucher thingie (Bongo Bon over here) worth €190 thanks to a promo with the lottery here so that's been exchanged for one giving us a night in a luxury hotel AND another for a trip to the movies.
So a weekend in Amsterdam in June, for her birthday, has been booked and the best part is she also sits there doing them online surveys, get paid for it, and when the right deal pops up we should get the train tickets free as well.
More money for weed'n'seeds, sounds good to me!
Now I'm just waiting for all the paperwork to come in for the taxes because I'm kinda expecting a grand or two back on that since I've been on the sick for 10 months now, we're both disabled, and I move onto "invalidity" in May which brings in more benefits.
Would still prefer to be working, but some things just aren't meant to be...

the mountains here are covered in mountain laurel...which is pretty much wild rhododendron, i guess. this is a tourist town, i could drive past 20 driveways identical to yours in 10 minutes, all rental properties.
although you can't set your garbage can outside like that here, the bears would have it down the side of the hill the same day. have to have a locking dumpster or a locking enclosure for trash here.

That stuffs headed this way, another 8-10" I'm so fucking sick of moving snow. I really hope this is the last one. Looks like maybe 40/50Fs in a week or so. Come on spring!

Mostly for racing and giving aggressive off road tires a little better traction in wet and slippery shit.
I wonder how the shops do it. This is factory siped snow tire, all the little squiggly lines are sipes. That's how they should be done.
Here's a super swamper style tire that's been hand siped, the tread lugs are usually solid, not sliced. Probably done with a razor blade on a soldering iron. There're blades available that are stamped in the squiggly pattern with a depth stop, so you can plunge into the blocks, along with other variations.
There's a couple different style machines the tire shops use to add sipes. Some with spikes.
Some have a blade that slices across the tread.
Personally, I wouldn't want some minimum wage hack, at a flat rate tire shop, putting a cutting tool anywhere near my new tires.

Never heard of it, sounds idiotic. Back in the '60's we'd street race, and some guys used to spray oven cleaner on the drive tires a while before racing. It softened the tires for an eence better traction but really decreased tire life
