what was the date of the diary entry


I have zero idea what you’re referring too.

Anyways I had a decent weekend, spent most of it at the tattoo convention in Calgary. We won large black and grey with my artist, pretty sweet there was a ton of entries.

I’m about 35k in on my body suit, give or take a few grand.
Almost done though.

Winter tires vs all weather tires

Studded vs non studded.

Got a new suv and this winter I was thinking of putting some winter tires on it. I want studded. I've never had purely winter tires let alone studded ones. What's everyone's thoughts?
And what brands?

Currently looking at:
Continental icecontact xtrm studded - 392$ per tire
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 - 383$ per tire



Studded nokian 10 is fuckin bomb, you dont hear them unless going under 20 km/h

im still rocking my studded hakkapeliita 7 from 2016 and they still going strong, doesnt miss a single stud

pirelli scorpion all terrain plus on my truck, handles winter ezpz - every blizzard we had this last winter I was on the highway between Calgary and Lethbridge, well known for being incredibly icy and gets hit with hard crosswind, never had a single close call

pirelli x-ice zero on wife's cx-7 handles like it's on rails in the worst conditions

if you can get a good price on them I highly suggest

also those Nokians are 10/10 for studded

If you can avoid it I would suggest to all of you. Never buy into a strata.... That is my rant and recommendation. Total shitshow.



My bedroom has been torn apart as a result of a water leak and there is damage elsewhere in the building as well.


The slope parts of the roof are the likely cause of the leak.


Nobody listens to me in strata meetings when I mention how costly water damage is and they scoffed at my idea of replacing the 20 year old roof before we ran into problems.

Furthermore I have been pushing for new balcony membranes for the balconies on the 2nd and 3rd floor for some time now before they began to fail. Well now one of the balconies has rotted out and needs to be replaced.

Somehow the 4th floor, which has had their balconies replaced and the first floor which has no balconies gets to vote on this matter? How is that fair?


The problem is they put issues of preventative maintenance up to a vote and the majority can not afford the repairs so they vote them down. I feel for people that are strapped but why would you buy into a building you can barely afford? You always have to expect the unexpected.

Now those same people grovel about the upcoming special assessments + getting the repairs done that were already needed. Now we get to spend way more money all at once because people were too cheap to just spring for the required maintenance before things started to fail.


Just infuriating. Waste of money and my unit, as well as many others are needlessly in shambles at a huge expense because the majority voted against a replacement roof and balcony membranes.

If you can't afford basic maintenance why would you buy into the building? Guessing there will be a couple who will have to sell their units because they won't be able to come up with the special assement levy.


Once again, stay out of strata if you can guys. This is utter shit.
