Goners.


I saw the dentist (the lovely Brittany) the other day and she advised me that's time to call it quits on my two upper front teeth. They're sound but any filling she could do would be only a short term repair due to my bite putting undue pressure on them, as it destroyed the previous repair job.
Oh well it'll just be an even more gummy Jimby in the near future.
Poor Brittany really feels for her patients so I'll have to make sure I put her at ease about this job on me when she gets me in the chair for the job. She's a great dentist and deserves any success that comes her way but I hope she stays in the public system. 
I think she's a gunna make another set of dentures too, I'll likely need to use them a plenty too.

I love this, 1100 km until empty.


We went to Townsville today and I bought two tyres for Oscar, good Chinese ones that have ratings, not brand name ones that offer no information to the customer except they have a tread pattern and come in various sizes, I'll fit them in the near future.
I've been working on improving Oscar's economy and 1100 km is a good predictive range considering Oscar had done 135.9 km since filling its 60 litre tank, and done with the A/C on the whole time too, as well as stuck in the traffic jungle of Townsville.
This genuine Anchee is what Oscar will soon be wearing, note that it has both USA and EURO ratings which are quite reasonable, Australia it seems has no rating system for tyres and it sure seems that the makers don't want us to have any knowledge either.
The UTQG of 420 is the USA wear rating number, probably too low to be acceptable in the USA market but likely way too high for our traders to handle.
