Yay for Seinfeld!

I bought some extra hose for the clutch reservoir to the master cylinder, some flare nut wrenches (got three sizes, only needed one), camshaft seals, more nitrile gloves and heavy duty shop paper towels (altogether about $50).

I need to buy some DVD's. Last May my kids got me a subscription to Netflix, so I haven't been buying DVD's much since then.

Bourne Ultimatam and Live Free or Die Hard are two I might get. How are they?

I've got a 50" Sony LCD rear projection TV and I live it. Mines on 720P or 1080I though, but I really don't think I would notice a difference with 1080P. When I get the basement done (probably in a year or more) I will be looking for another one. Samsung is a good brand from everything I have heard. Both my daughters have them. My son and I both have Sony's.

Samsung is a Korean mfg and they have been making some of the finest components for PCs. My back-up HDD is made by Samsung, though it was sold under Buffalo (a Japanese vendor).

As long as they are assembled in Korea, they should be good. Too many mfgs have gone to Cxxxx for cheap labour, but you get what you pay for. And toys & foods that come from Cxxxx are really contaminated with hazardous materials/substances, as there is no concept of food safety or emissions/hazardous materialsregulations there.

And I'm stubbornly buying made in USA & Japan.

$30 for a haircut. Was this for yourself (DAD)? Because I pay half that for my haircuts.

This Russian chick cut it at the mall at one of those high-end Salons (at least I think she was Russian - her name was Tatyana and she had this thick accent) I can never get to a barber in town because I work the same tuesday-saturday hours as most barbers.

Most times I would say $30 wasn't worth it but she used scissors and took her time. I look at lot better.

Quick joke which I swear took place:

Me: "I think that girl was Russian"
Wifey "Oh no, I think she took forever"

Or I wonder if she was actually a Bulgarian. When I lived in Chicago, the haircut place I used to go to (it was located inside the large apartment complex I used to live) was run by a Russian woman but most of the stylists were mid-age Bulgarian women. I would say they were the best so far.

Sleep tight. I spent about $600 for one that's not very good to be honest. It's in the guest room, so it's good enough for all the more often it gets used.

Wow! Sounds like my parents. The last mattress they bought was $1250. My wife and I bought a Sleep Air memory foam mattress... Much like the Temperpedic ones... only ours was only $700. It's by far the best mattress I've ever slept on. We hate traveling now because we can't sleep on any other mattress.

I'm currently working on a purchase, and will make it when the money makes it from our bank to paypal.

4 - 18" Corvette C5 "Wagon" Wheels for the Typhoon. And for the price, I basically stole them, but hey, that's what fellow auto enthusiasts are for right? Helping each other out.

Can't wait to get them... though it's going to take me more than a year to get tires put on them. [8D]
