Last weekend: I went to opening night for the Los Angeles Clippers @Staples Center. Had a great night even though they lost.

Yeah, that's what I said last week, but damn if it didn't grow again this week. (Lots of rain and temps in the mid-60's).

We bought this house in 2005, and I can remember mowing in November maybe once??

Mowed my parents lawn, Cleaned the interior and engine bay on dad's ute.

I bought a new set of tires on Black Friday and yesterday I had them installed. I ended up going with:
Westlake SA07 Sport
245/35 R20 95W

Btw the reason I chose to buy new tires? I finally checked the date code on my 2 rear tires [which I thought were the “good ones” based on brand name] and found out they were made in 2005!! Lol.

These new tires were all made in the 31st week of this year.

I’ve already begun the strip cleaning on them in preparation for coating.

I bet you have to remove the old wheel weight glue residue. I've found that to be a PITA job at times.

I actually hadn’t even thought to look that close inside the barrels. It’d be hard to spot that in there.

I’m thinking about picking up some Mothers Tire Renew because the 3 tire cleaners I tried yesterday didn’t remove the film that’s on the rubber. Pretty surprised actually for as much as I scrubbed.
-Meguiars D143
-Pinnacle Black Label Tire Cleaning Gel
-LA’s Totally Awesome

And that film still appears once they dry. Weird because I can remove it if I rub my finger on the dry tire.

Btw I almost pulled the trigger on a set of Vogue Tyres. I was really doubting as to why I didn’t yesterday. But I’ve got a couple of maintenance repairs I outta get done soon regarding the suspension.
