A cubic foot cleared off the dining table is noticeable. A cubic foot of stuff out of my sewing studio would go unremarked. Tires have gotten very expensive, new ones for my SUV about $250 each, and that's just tires, not extra rims (I've read that in the US these inflated prices - pardon the pun - are not to do with scarcity). Nissan stopped fooling with inflating with Nitrogen like that was a special thing for tires, no one is popping for the extra service when tires are priced like luxury items.

I picked up a battery trimmer to try in the garden. I didn't till everything this year, so I have to contend with grass getting watered along with the crops and it grows tall fast. Ryobi costs about twice as much as the brands turning up in the initial search, but I like their tools and I already have two batteries. (The others seemed to have built-in batteries that, once they fail, may not be replaceable, and they need a recharge every time it runs down. I swap out batteries and keep working with Ryobi tools.)

Time to make more granola. That last batch was good and I was mixing it half and half with my raisin bran to give it more fibre and last longer. I used ziplock baggies to freeze it last time, this batch I'll look for a larger reusable container.
