After I picked up some groceries yesterday, I noticed it looked like one of the Miata tires could be a bit low... checked it when I got home. All between 10-12 Facepalm
If they weren't such low profile tires I probably would have noticed much more easily. I had to make dinner, and when I was done, I didn't really want to drive any further with them that low, and also didn't want to run the engine to power my little compressor, and it was still fairly nice out, so I just broke out the bike pump and got them all up to around 21PSI. The door panel only specifies 26PSI, so that's less terrible. I stopped at the gas station this morning and put them up to 28/32, we'll see how I like that.
Crap!!thats really low OMG

Exciting news in my life. Shade's ex has left the state and on Friday we are going to the bank to see if we can get preapproved for a home loan.

Between that and the battery, I'm guessing it may have been parked in the garage since September or something. Oil is still at the appropriate level and a very good color.

As of right now, he gets them for the school year. She has them for spring break, and then the summer, and probably Thanksgiving & Christmas breaks. Although there might be an issue with summer cause we don't want the kids gone for that long. I hope we don't end up having to go to court for anything.

I think I may finally be ordering a USB borescope this week... some things in the engine bay that I think will be easier to accomplish if I can get a solid look at what's going on before sticking my hands in.

Odometer will be at 172k before too long. I haven't put in the math yet to guess how far off it might be, the actual mileage should be lower since the speedometer is reading too high.

Purdy! But that's probably not why you're getting it, eh?

Actually, it is. The silver is just a nice by-product. I saw someone had posted one on reddit and found a seller running them pretty cheap if you make an offer (only a couple of bucks), so I bit.

If I were going for silver, I'd just get some nice bullion. 40% of a dime... laugh out loud I'm not even sure how much that would be.
