For the next 25 years of my life.

Here is a general truth about myself and many others. I make impulse purchases. I have control over how ridiculous the purchase is but I purchase none-the-less. My excuses vary but the all are based on specific criteria following from a life need. For instance, the need for a rear fender (a 'rat tail') on my daily ride. I made that purchase. Don't regret it. To confess further, yesterday I bought a set of metric wrenches because I couldn't take my eyes off of them. They were beautiful. They still are. They are right next to me. Here is a picture of them.



Perhaps another?!


25.64% of my excuse for the purchase was the exhilarating combination of aesthetics, longevity and combined benefit of using the colours for easy identification once my eyes go in old age. The other% of the excuse was split between 'b'day spending expenses' and 'the prevention of striping bolts on my vehicles of present and future'.

That is all for now. Life calls, and I must do my dishes.

I heard metric was going to be phased out. P.S. you want any visitors in November. I will be on two weeks off starting Nov. 1st and thought I could distract you/bang girls in your bed at some point. Of course we could go for a real ackward breakfast the next morning and catch-up too.

Well, as exciting as your proposition is, I believe that I will be coming into T.O. around that period in November and we should scope out girls/drink beer/catch up then. Hopefully Sean will be around and Papercrown.....
