    Yeah but they don't include installation. They are about the same price on the internet for places around here also. My father wants me to get a name brand all season tire.
    Yeah I don't have a sled. I am going to see what I can do about the tank in a little wile. This storm was a major drag. FedEx did not even arrive until last night and I requested a pickup on Friday. So it is slow going....
    Plus I have two friends of mine who wanted glass for Christmas come back this weekend and ask for me to make there glass again. So I am still on Christmas orders. But that will end soon.

    This is where I wanted to go: http://www.mavistire.com/productcart...byvehicle4.asp
    The car was an expensive car. It is a 2000 Saab 9-5 Aero . It was the nicest Saab they make when he first bought it.

    I had a set of these tires on a car a few years ago I loved them http://www.mavistire.com/productcart...id=42463&frb=B. They performed great, and lasted like they were supposed to. This was supposed to link to the ones for your car, but I it might have just gone to the page. They were like 103 I think. It sucks though I feel ya tires aren't cheap, and yet they don't really last that long....

    OK I am half way there with the oxygen. The hardest part so far was chipping the ice away with a hammer so the tank would move in the first place. Then I rolled it across the ice and snow. It took a wile but it is all loaded up now. I will be off to the welding shop in a minute.

    OK, I got my tank hooked up. Took me a long time dragging it through the snow and ice but it is all hooked up now. I am heating up the studio.

    I made some sample pieces for an order... worked a little on an order... and made a couple of custom gong slides. I am frozen. 15 degrees today and it is cold in the studio.
    I got a bunch of wine vouchers from www.nakedwines.com for $100 off a case. Anyone interested? A case is like $150 there. I get the mixed cases delivered UPS for free. I get $80 off this month and a free bottle of wine if I order another case. I am thinking about it.

    It was a little warmer today in the 20s here. But when the sun went down I could feel the shop cool off. It was great to be back on the torch I havn't melted since last wednesday.

    It is 9 degrees here today. I am going to heat the studio up for like an hour and a half. Then bundle up and make some more glass. I have work to do. I wear layers. One fleece sweatshirt with a padded sweatshirt hoodie over top. I will have my hood up and my hat on today. It warms up after a wile when the torch is on.

    To keep my hands and bench warm I put an IR heater up in my hood facing the bench, it works great. I've even been think of putting a second one under the bench to warm my feet but I doubt I have the amps. Nomad, you should look into a wood pellet stove, it would work great in that shedio.
