Canadian Tire Money


Possibly Canada's best store across the country. It has everything and anything, it even has...Canadian tire money! As a mechanic and an adventurer, I have purchase an abundance of tools and equipment from this store since i can remember. I love the store actually, lifetime warranty on a whole lot of tools. It really has almost everything for every trade or hobbies. Can't forget the Steady stream of weekly sales. Cause I love knowing I got the items I purchase at the lowest price possible.
Since approximately 2004, instead of giving it away, I have been collecting Canadian tire money more attentively. the final count is 40x0.05 23x0.10 8x0.25 3x1.50 1x1.00 totals up to 8.80. with this, it will help me towards the purchase of new wiper blades for my cavalier. I will avoid the 20-30dollar blades for sure, way out of my budget and don't find any reason to bother. Is there a difference in quality in a wiper blade? its purpose is to sweep the water, snow, salt and bird doudous off my windshield. It's like if i where starving and had no money. Would i round up penny's to stuff my face with oatmeal or with a huge steak. They both do the same job by filling me up and will last the same duration in my stomach. With all this being said, 5 years of spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars at a store and what do I get for being a loyal customer? Not even enough Canadian tire money saved up for 1 wiper blade.

peanut butter

The love of my life right now is peanut butter. I have to say Kraft is my favorite. was it the greatest invention since sliced bread? Absolutely not! sliced bread was invented because of peanut butter. I am currently paranoid because the dish is getting to the bottom and its the last one in the cupboards. We will have to get a new crate in very soon. I am paranoid about running low of peanut butter. I can't imagine having none in cupboards at all. My fear of dyeing is not even comparable to my fear of being allergic to peanuts. There are Millions of people that are extremely deadly allergic. If I would ever become allergic and not caring about the consequences, I think I would freak out completely and do like this kid.

Read a Book

Lets be honest, I am not a big reader and my weak writing skills are proof. The more one reads, the better his writing skills are, its a fact. I decided that we all need to improve on our reading skills. It's mainly a habit thing. I have never included reading in my daily schedule before last week. I am refreshing my knowledge on our Acadian and Canadian history and I have started to read a book about the history of Australia called The Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes. Its over 600 pages long "for me its a heck of a lot" and it's one of my objectives i need to complete before taking off. To become familiar with the founding of Australia and aboriginal history in their country.
