Pleased to see you have a magna clean fitted & that the system has sentinel inhibitor included....
Worcester Bosch Boiler should give many many years good service as long as it's serviced each year to schedule...

Trust it's given you good service since installation 馃憤

They look super clean. Yeah, I almost ended up with the Michelin but got a nice discount on a set of Goodyear which have been really nice. I rack up miles pretty quickly so the 80k mile warranty is nice.

The Continentals I bought last time were slipping on dry pavement the very day they were installed but I also moved for a job that day and didn't want to deal with a return and choosing a new set and having them installed blah blah blah... Utterly useless in the snow, shotty in the rain, and just lame on dry pavement. I believe they were the Conti Pro Contact variety.
Having since returned to Michigan I wasn't messing around with poor performance and made sure to select verifiably good tires for each season.

Problem is that my size is 235-45-R18 so they are expenyjust based on rarity alone. The shitty Continentals cost me north of $900 for a set. The Goodyear (after discount and rebate) ended up less than $600. Couldn't be happier with them.

That's weird, because my Conti Extreme Contact DWS have saved my bacon a couple of times with emergency stops in the rain for wildlife, plus have insane grip in the dry, and work decently well during the first and last few snow showers of the season before I switch to full Winter or Summer only tires.

In Colorado I can't switch to high performance full summer non-all-season tires until after Memorial Day weekend, because I've been stuck before with snow in May and my Dunlop summer tires. And, If I wait until Halloween to switch from the pure summer tires to winter tires, then when it does snow in early or mid October the summer tires are not safe. Before the WRX I used all-season tires from Easter thru Halloween and then went to winter tires. But with the WRX I got spoiled with high performance summer-only tires.

But, I can only use performance summer tires in June - September, four months. I won't use snow tires the other 8 months, so I use all-season tires from early October thru Thanksgiving, then snow tires through the end of March, and back to all seasons again in April and May when a winter tire would not be the best and wear out faster.

So, at 7:00pm everyone goes to their balcony or window and makes some joyful noise for a minute to show their support & appreciation for healthcare workers. A turkey caller adds another layer of levity to the whole experience. Here鈥檚 what I have learned this week. The call doesn鈥檛 sound like turkeys, it sounds like a crow - turkeys apparently will vocalize when their hear crows (or owls) messing about on their turf. According to YouTube, a hunter can then locate and dispatch the turkey. Now, after a few nights of using it, we suddenly have crows in the neighbourhood. I really hope that鈥檚 a coincidence 馃う

I've bought two things this weekend. Some kind of wine closet and some sun glasses. Delivery time 1 to 5 days.
