    Today I took my paperwork from Firestone back to the Town fair in Southington, where I bought my Wildpeaks to show them about the balance issue and that I gotten a road force test done.

    They told me that they could have sent me to the Rocky hill Town Fair store and gotten the road force balance done at no cost to me. ( I didnt know Rocky hill has a Road force and I dont really want to drive there from Bristol) But since I went to Firestone instead, he submitted a reimbursement request for the amount I paid for Firestone instead. Town fair will be sending me a check for the cost of the Firestone road force balance.

    I haven't had any issues with Town Fair Tire so far and Im on my 2nd set of tires from them. Al at the Southington store has taken care of me since I bought my Toyos from them.

    Psst... He has a 4runner but really loves Tacos :)

    Well it's started.

    Wife and I have been looking at houses for some time, , some of you know why so i wont elaborate here.

    Well we found a house that checks off all of the box's and but a bid in .

    So now the negotiations are starting and we'll see where it goes.

    Wife and i just celebrated our 37th anniversary the day after Christmas and still going strong.

    This will make our 8th house purchase in all those years hopefully this is the final house we purchase, Wait that what i said about the house I'm in now. Oh well!

    What a way to end the year, hope this goes forward and close in early march of 2020.

    At least we don't need to sell the house we'er in to buy the other one so the move will be easier.

    @tattooedsnake

    Moving from Wethersfield to Newington , to keep the kids in their respective schools,
    IE. Daughter is going through a divorce and her husband wont give her any money to pay the montage etc. so the house is almost in foreclosure so my Wife and a I are buying a larger house to accommodate her and the Grand kids and us , its really all being done to protect the grandkids and to offer a more stable environment for them.

    look harder! :rofl:
    Was driving the car about 4pm, turned on to Pocono Rd. & felt the rear end let go. Back end of the car has never done that - not even when I try to get it to be fun. Thunder Ice!

    VERY Generous of you & the wife. Hope there's a dark corner in the basement for you to hide - er, meditate. :)
    Congratulations on the house, hope it's a good one.
