Tyres?

[growler_south]

Last night was- interesting? Expensive?

I went and worked off some frustration on Paul's poor Escort. It loved it, of course. Not that I'm a hoon or anything, just sometimes. I think I owe Paul a new set of rear tyres though. D'oh!

Yeah I'm bad and self-destructive, I know.

The nice thing about driving is that you get time to process stuff in the background- 'Reverie' I think Nick called it. While you're concentrating on tricky physical stuff (going *round* the roundabout instead of *over* it, keeping the front of the car pointing forwards, that sort of thing) your subconscious is sorting out the emotional guff.

And heres what I came up with- its pretty simple actually. Up here in Auckland I get to hear whenever the boys have a disagreement. Oh Boy do I hear about it... anyway, I hardly ever hear when they make up. So my perception of what's happening is a little skewed. On weekends when Im there I get to see the whole dynamic, and I guess im having trouble comparing what I percieve during the week to what I see during the weekend. It's tripping my dishonest-o-meter on a subconscious level. That, combined with Mo's recent slightly zombied-out mood due to his doc changing his meds, has been concerning the hell out of me.

So. Now I understand whats going on in my head, why I've been feeling uneasy despite *knowing* that everything's ok.

Paul's just not going to understand.

I vote for a set of new Dunlop SP8000 tires. Not too pricey, good rain handling, nice gradual release when they're at their limits. Made our Jetta very happy (at least until its entire cooling system fell apart).

I completely agree about the driving and thinking part. But what were you listening to?
