Weekend Report (Extended Weekend Edition)

It's been a pretty busy weekend. I was down in Fredericton checking out a Focus. The car was nice, however after running though a few different scenarios and discussing money with Greg, decided to pass on the Focus, fix up the Celica and prep it for winter.

That said, currently in the mail are:

17" Falken Hanabi Satin Silver Wheels (4)
Kumho Ecsta SPT 205/45R17 Tires (4)
Wheels locks and mounting hardware for 17" rims and tires
Yokohama A032R (Soft) 205/50R15 Tires (4)

By the end of the week, I'm getting the body fix on the Celica. The wheels and tires should be in by the end of the week, early next week. The real question is, should I attempt to overtake Doubleday at the double regional in Freddy? Or get some practice in and lay the smackdown on his home turf?

Thursday morning, spent over 4 hours at Toyota getting the alignment done on the Celica. I'm not sure if it's going to help the tires wear better, but it feels somewhat better. Somewhat means: The car is more stable on the highway, better turning response, however there's a bit of a vibration when I'm over 140km/h. . . Of course, given that my tires might have a few flat spots it just might be that.

Was in Charlottetown on Thursday evening. Hung out with Al and Binnie and saw "Howl's Moving Castle". The plot was pretty odd, but the movie was enjoyable nontheless. Crashed at Binnie's place for the night and headed up-West by noon.

Jamie Booth was down for the weekend for a wedding. Hung out with him and his girlfriend for a while, saw the movie "The 40 Year-Old Virgin". It was pretty good. Booth's been playing a lot of hockey down in Florida. His girlfriend plays too which is pretty cool.

Then there's the standard fare of D&D, hockey, and video games for the weekend. . .
