$68, plus $20 shipping, plus $13 tax through SSC.

Can somebody remind me which retailer normally has free shipping without an order minimum? I'm going through my tabs and bookmarks and can not find a website that I SWEAR existed when I was last looking.

I've done every manner of bizarre artisan good, so screw it. Simple playthrough, only blueberries. Only allowed to buy blueberry seeds, only allowed to sell blueberries.

​

Obviously year 1 will be pointless but as long as I can sort out 3-400 garden pots and a bunch of sheds before the end of the first Summer with my limited profits I'll be hoping for perfection around year 4. Clay is going to be the huge bottle neck between garden pots and eventually deluxe retaining soil though. Obviously we will be primarily growing in sheds given the whole seasonal aspect of the game.

Edit, this is only selling blueberries for perfection. This means NO other profit. Entirely Joja, really just earning a way to success. I've played too many farms to enjoy making friends and going through those paces. This is just a quick way to kill 15 minutes a few times a day, and I expect to end with a few thousand blueberry plants making a quick run to perfection*

I've paid for perfection selling only maple syrup. Only eggs. Only mushrooms. Only strawberries. I've limited myself to no pickaxe, no axe. I've done only crabpots. I've forced myself to max all friendship before selling a single item, and a few other types of ways to force a new style of gameplay.

​

For those of us stuck without mods... got any other ideas?

I'm kind of leaning towards selling only flowers, might take a bit to get there but at least my farm will be pretty, right?

I'm out about a weeks wages and 2 tanks of gas trying to write for a drivers license, which I have now been denied twice.

Half day off, drive an hour north, get my medical form done. Half day off, head to SNB, get denied for a condition, cool whatever. Wait for forms and instructions in the mail. I'm now a couple months in with booking the exam a few weeks after the medical, waiting on letters to arrive, getting an appointment with our NP. Normal stuff.

NP is booked out 2 or so months. Half day off, drive an hour north, get the longer medical form done. Opthamologist was already booked for a normal exam, so I threw a form at them, but it's in town so minor inconvience. Half day off, and get all my lab work done. Fill out the drivers form myself. There have been small delays here and there since I have a job and need to line things up in advance but I felt like I moved as fast as possible.

All 4 forms and lab work done, sent off to the ministry. Wait for review board date, get the go ahead without any issue since this is really just a formality, book the soonest available written test date. That's another ~2 weeks in limbo, followed by another 12 days to the soonest test date booked the second I got the approval.

Book another half day or maybe 3 hours off, head to SNB. Denied. Why? Because my ORIGINAL medical form, the short one, expired last week, and apparently the long form one which details almost all the same things in significantly greater detail, that was also accompnaied by a full labwork panel, does not count.

Call my NP. What's the earliest date available? Why it's August somethingth, of course. Explain that I literally met her about an extended version of this form like 5 or 6 weeks ago and need her to check off 8 lines and sign it, nope, can't be fit in.

So, now I guess I either pay $190 at Medicalux or just continue waiting on this while everybody else moves through training. I absolutely could not imagine doing this if it was for my class 5 and I needed to be chauffered around.

I dunno, just needed to vent. This is insanity, and it shouldn't take 4+ moo tha to get a few medical forms done. Sure, I delayed things through the end of December and atart of January like any sane person would, but the timeline has been as tight as possible otherwise.

Get original medical.

+5 weeks not bothering with it during Christmas vacation. *Because this can't possibly not be done in time*.

Denied to write.

3-4 weeks for Ministry to supply instructions, our mail delivery seems to take forever in my town, or maybe it just takes them a while to get around to it.
10 weeks for extended medical form. Did ophthalmologist before this, lined up with an existing eye exam.
2 weeks to find time for bloodwork after NP requisitioned it. Trying to schedule around employment to not start TOO many dumpster fires at work.
1 week to contact ministry and figure out how to submit that wasn't by fax, since somebody was on vacation and like hell if I have access to a fax machine.
2.5 weeks waiting for approval.
2 weeks for soonest exam date.

Surprise, that's 6 months. Can't see my doctor for another 2 months, not sure if anybody who knows nothing about me will sign off on this medical form without knowing my history, even if I supply the long form done recently that just says I'm healthy as $%&#. Yeah it's a "major" condition but I have absolutely no issues at it's been 25 years now.

Bonus? SNB didn't know about this condition until I tried to upgrade my license *I guess they didn't look at my of province restrictions when I changed it to NB a decade or s ago* so even if I throw in the towel and give up at this point (which I likely will), now I still need to submit all these forms annually going forward, and I've heard you don't get a lot of notice for that so, that should be fun...

WHY DOES IT TAKE IN EXCESS OF 2 MONTHS TO SEE MY PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER. This whole process should have taken a couple months tops, and if people had availability I could have taken a single day off and smashed this all out within 8 hours, right?

/rant.

Looking to add some sidewall and curious if anybody has any input. Ended up deciding against new 9" wheels so it's a bit tricker now. All tire options will be DWS06's.

255 40 seems like the best fit between a comfier tire and not increasing the gearing ratio with tall rubber, because if my 27" winters taught me anything, it's that it feels slow on tall tires. The only concern being washy feelings on corners with the section width vs 8.5 wheel, however I know the DWS runs a bit narrow.

245 45 will give that cushion and be a square fit on the wheel but it's that size that worries me again.

I drive some of the worst roads in Canada, and spend a lot of time on gravel, clay, and sand.

Any input? I'm leaning towards 255 40 for looks and knowing that the DWS is squishy I'm not super concerned about adding sidewall for cushion, but really curious on thoughts from those who have done either. 255 calls for a 9", 245 45 calls for an 8", so both close enough.

Searched the group, find lots of comments about fitment to arches but not a lot about how they actually drive. Most posts are just "installed today", and not long term reviews.

Thanks! Just something simple to adjust for our hall, like requiring a CGM, showing location of reader if needed, location of rapid acting glucose at recovery setup, just something simple.

If not I'll write my own, so any thoughts are also welcome

*I'd like to preface by saying I'm neither for or against either of these colours, and that the car wears both outfits pretty well*

When GP was announced I was insanely stoked. Ok. Purple. Sick. It's my favourite colour and it's going to be stunning.

Then I saw all the photos online and was brutally underwhelmed at basically black. Then I caught a few in traffic and while there is certain lighting that makes it look good, I just wanted more purple.

When SY was announced I was insanely stoked. Ok. Bright yellow, it's going to catch the eye. Looks great on sporty cars and it's going to pop. Then I saw the photos online and it looked pretty lackluster, kind of a 90's faded clearcoat look to it. Then I caught a few in traffic and unlike Purple I'm horribly torn. On an overcast day then look just... Yellow. Dawn and dusk, a deep orange hue that looks like a bad paint mix, and on the sunniest of days, stunning.

So, just me? I may be a grumpy old guy but I feel like both of these colours are 100% lacking when it comes to being a special edition or very limited run colour. Like, as factory options they fuck but if you are going to make a limited edition Kaminari edition it should blow my doors off at all times, no? Like the name implies? *Yes sorry American friends that yours is just called Series Yellow*

Just a rant. Bored and on a break at work and alone with my thoughts, apparently today I'm thinking about paint colours.

I'm a propane stove, hand ground pourover coffee kind of guy. I recently received a Nespresso Vertuo machine and a bunch of coffee pods so I decided to stick it on the watts-up meter to evaluate it for mid-day caffeine top-ups. I was super surprised to see that brewing 8 oz of coffee only used around 20 WH, flash heating water on demand rather than storing it hot. It uses 0.5 watts on standby and bursts between 350 and 1300 watts for under two minutes brewing a cup. That is totally manageable for my existing kitchen inverter and the vampire load won't matter because it will be completely powered off between uses.

It won't change my morning routine because I love grinding coffee and having a big pot ready for when the fam finally wakes up, but it has found a place in camp #2's minimalist kitchen.

I don't think I can argue with $350 Canadian to my door. Anybody have any reasons for me to not buy it, or a better option to consider?

Americans feel free to reply, I'll pay more for shipping if customer service doesn't suck from somewhere specific.

I didn't order the wheels before the sale ended so now I'm going another direction with this years modifications.

Going to leave the arches plastic but I am going to grab the rear bumper cover and probably the OE ducktail.

Anybody found a method to get around insane shipping costs? I know I found one retailer with $23, and another with $260 rates last time I looked, but save me a days research and giving money to the wrong idiots, who have we had great customer service from along with medium-ok pricing.
