I like the things that make me feel like I’m a kid again! Maybe after the movie I’ll go home and play Legos!!

My wife is about to spend her first winter in Minnesota. I have been shopping for snow tires for her Mini Cooper. The first quote at tire store #1 was $418. The second quote at tire store #2 was $376. The third quote, back at tire store #1 one week later was $343! Tire store #2 is now matching that price. I plan on adding a few other stores to the mix.

As confusing as it is, I think I enjoy the game of negotiating as much as we will appreciate the tires.

I enjoy cars! I love to see, feel, and smell the features of high end luxury and exotic vehicles. Today I stumbled upon an article of a new Russian SUV with Very unique interior… Whale Penis leather.

Check it out…

So today I went to the pet store to return the 79 dog ‘pee pads’ that were left from the original 80 pack. I bought them thinking I was doing the dogs a favor by letting them roam the kitchen while I was at work.

A few days ago I was telling a ‘pro dog trainer’ about my issue with the dogs not using the pad, but using the floor next to the pad, he proceeded to inform me of the proper methods in properly training a dog. He also said one of the worst things I could do is ‘train’ a dog to go on a pad inside. I have been working with my dog for three days now. My dog hated its kennel, and already I am seeing improvements. A few minutes ago I set her kennel 2 feet off the ground so not only did she have to go into it but she had to jump up. This is exciting because three days ago I was putting half of her body in the kennel and tapping her with the training stick until she would go in…. it took a while. Tonight… I just said the word kennel and off she went.

This has been very fun. It is cheap entertainment and it is exciting to see my dog excel in her training process.

Soon we will begin the ‘here drills.’
