Actually it wasn't a snowstorm at all michelle, it was rather rain with a cold temperature that made it freeze on the ground (what we frenchies like to call glace noire, or dark ice, the type of ice you don't see on the road but that is very slippery). As for the law, it is a good thing indeed but at the same time you wonder where the world is going when a province must vote a law to force us to put winter tires...in winter (this was actually one of our well known comic's joke in his one man show, it did make me laugh)!



I fully agree with you about the necessity of such a gas in tires and i know, although i paid for it, that it would have been just as good had i decided to put air instead. However, given that places like quebec do have quite the temperature changes (i'm thinking about my personal case as i'm also on the road a lot and i travel from montreal to trois-rivières, which is a tad up to the north east and is close to, as the name states, rivers, making it a rather cold city during winter), would it make it at least useful enough to make one consider it?

I'm not trying to find an excuse for my decision as i know and i fully assume the fact that i paid for something without really needing it but since we are talking about whether it's good or not we might as well try to see if there's any way it could at least be useful for street cars. Of course, companies could offer it just because they know some people will pay for it but would there be a situation in which one could really find an advantage in it?

...heck, i clearly can't try to justify my purchase, i just bought it because i like to live on the edge and if i ever hit a pothole there's a risk my car will blow up!





Having had issues with old and worn tires, i can only agree!



I'm sorry to read about your issue with your watch dawna! Wes did give you some good advice and i hope it will help you but if your jeweler can't find a way to adjust it more perhaps you could send it to rik dietel or bob ridley on the forum, they have solid reputations and i'm sure it will be less long (and expensive) than having to send it back to glashütte.

As for being a left handed, i must say i'm one as well and i always wore my watch on my left wrist so i'll have to disagree with your above statement!



Piano isn't great? Puh-leaaaaaaaaaaaaze! It sounded great wes, the tone it had added quite the effect to the song in my opinion!

Thank you for sharing your music with us (as always)! Michelle, your cards are very impressive!

Thanks Carl, find jazzy stuff difficult, requires great touch with flicks off keys, and smooth runs. Also requires very minimal sustain pedal, which can show up technique and bad fingering. Check out Bill Evans Santa Claus is coming to town on Youtube. Thats how I'd love to play, and most of it is probably improvised.

I wish to get out of it in this life. But I can't, to fully entrenched. We do get to see and go to many interesting places and see very interesting things. We have keys to many large buildings, schools and Churches in town. We have worked in surgery rooms while surgery was going on believe it or not, lots of famous people. Have signed off saying we won't mention who we have seen in plastic surgery places. But like anything, I'm tired of it.

[East Bay Rider]

I'm tired of design/drafting, CAD and need a change. HVAC is something everyone needs and is in every building. Seems like a perfect way to go.

I very good buddy of mine is in design, it took a terrible hit with the recession. HVAC did too with new construction, I never go into the new construction end but it has still been hit. I stayed mainly in repair, maint. and repl. Guy in the new construction end were hit hard.

Good move. Wish I'd have learned younger.

I did get in some trouble as a young teenager but I must admit I've never been such a bad boy...

...Perhaps I was just too dumb for that!

I've always been a good lad myself.

Staaaaaaaaaaaand still laddie!



...Forgive me, I couldn't resist!

I must say I like where life took me though, I talked to an old friend of mind and she told me how a few of the people I went to high school with were doing. Although a lot of them turned out just fine a few of those people seem to have turned out very bad, I think it's quite sad since some of them were very smart and up to a bright future...it shows you how some decisions you make in your teenage years can have bad consequences...to think life could have been much worse had I decided to be a bad boy makes me realize I did make some good choices at least a few times, I feel quite lucky...

Sorry, Carl. Don't pay any attention to us... you have a good head on your shoulders. You're wise beyond your years.

Why thank you Lisa, those words are much appreciated!

[QUOTE=Lisa;3765697]Dawna, I'm left handed, too - and used to wear my Gruen on my left wrist. Did it for years. Then I went for several years wearing no watch. Then I got into Rolex and always wore it on my right wrist. I guess I would get used to wearing it on either, but the deciding factor was that my left arm was my baby-carrying arm and I didn't want the watch to dig into those little baby hineys. Maybe the answer would be as simple as wearing it on your right wrist.

Does your watch slide around a lot? Do you think that you could possibly have a permanent link removed? I have no idea how Glaschutte (sp?) bracelets are put together, but I had to remove perm. links on a couple of watches - my older TOG datejust and my Tudor Chronograph. It's a little painful to tear up a link, but if that's the only way a watch can be worn comfortably, then it's worth it.

It does slide around a lot...it also has a diamond on the stem so I think that contributes to the 'scratchiness'...I'm 'ok' with it on the other wrist, but I like it better on the same hand with my wedding rings. I may just have to contact Glashutte and see what they have to say. I agree about the link...whatever it takes to make it enjoyable to wear.
Thanks!

p.s...I know this wasn't exactly a coffeeshop 'issue' but I knew you guys would have an opinion :-)

[dbelle7]

I'm sorry to read about your issue with your watch Dawna! Wes did give you some good advice and I hope it will help you but if your jeweler can't find a way to adjust it more perhaps you could send it to Rik Dietel or Bob Ridley on the forum, they have solid reputations and I'm sure it will be less long (and expensive) than having to send it back to Glashütte.

As for being a left handed, I must say I'm one as well and I always wore my watch on my left wrist so I'll have to disagree with your above statement!

Thanks Carl! and who knew there were so many lefty's in the Coffeeshop!

Tell me about it, those righties keep hitting my elbows when we take our cups for a sip!

[East Bay Rider]

It's because you Lefties can't do anything Right.

Have a good day my Coffee shop friends. I'm a tea guy in the winter but for now it's Diet Coke on my way in.
