Got a Cortisone shot in each knee today , it cost $25 per  knee

Have you had shots before? Is it for arthritis?  My knees were really bothering me a couple of months ago, but are much better now.  At least I'm not limping anymore, but it comes and goes. I'm trying to hold off for as long as possible before getting anything done to mine.  I have an appt with physio in next week to see what they can recommend for a maintenance program. :P

Just saw this mechanical musical instrument featured on a tv show.

I can't even imagine how hard this thing was to make. :o  At the time they were being produced they cost about 5 times the price of the avg German family house.

Came really close to picking up a new to me car today, and still haven't ruled it out yet.  It's not a current need at the moment by any means, which is why I'm hesitant.  But it's also a car I know I'd be happy with.  Hmmm, what to do?   :-\

I would wait - word is that Infiniti will be bringing back the hydraulic rack from the old G37 into the 2016+ Q50 Sport.

I thought you were talking about some unicorn type car that is a rare find....you can buy a Q50 any time. Pass IMO.

It's spring and I *always* get itchy about a new car.  Test driving a Mazda and getting a $50 gas card sound like double-dipping!

Wonder what would happen, if I pull up in a 2015 Mazda?  Maybe I can take the 2016 Mazda6 for a spin?  See how the infotainment system has "improved"....

Got a couple of photo radar tickets in the mail recently (my wife was driving, but tickets go to the registered owner - me.) Just BS stuff, 11 & 13km/h over, but each ticket was $80.

Spent exactly 26 minutes at the courthouse this morning and got one ticket tossed out and the other reduced to $57. I am happy. :)
