Congrats! I'm about 7 years away from paying mine at current rate. I was at 5 for a while but had to reduce payment to give myself a bit more breathing room.

People used to be a lot more tolerant of personal problems. I've been reading about a City Recorder, circa 1900, who did two tours in the loony bin while in office. The Recorder was also a magistrate who heard petty cases. Not only did he keep his job but he got re-elected two months after getting out of the asylum.

Lol there was an April Fools joke that Costco was going to open in Kapuskasing. Got my hopes up for a bit. :p Only saw it now. Closest one to here is Sudbury which is a 3 hour drive.

Haven’t put it together yet. Union & Scalce FlexFit Dexley @ Staples. View attachment 59534
Nothing special, but comfortable and seems solidly built. I don’t like spending alot of $$ on chairs. Was $269 at the store - but while looking for a pic online, it’s listed for $179 online with 1 hour pickup at the same store.

A call will be made today :mad:
Do you like it? I got one for my late wife. After she passed, I gave it away to a coworker for her kid. I was never really comfortable in that thing.

The chair I love is an office gaming chair. This one was built oversized. It's got some wear on it. But at seven years old it is still awesome. Why? Because it can support 250 lbs. It's wide. I'm not wide in the middle.

But I'm 5'11". This chair is super comfortable for sitting in long term. It's firm with just enough of cushion.

The armrests are not spongy or soft. They are very firm with only the slightest give in the surface. They are wide and long, covering my complete forearm. They are adjustable forwards/back, side/side, up/down and you can rotate them clockwise/counterclockwise.

The base is wide and it has large casters.

The back has breathable back material. The seatback material is leather-like and the stitching is heavy duty. It resists wear very well. It's also got lumbar and head cushions that are adjustable and removable. Combine that with a large keyboard tray on my desk and it's very ergonomic.

Face it @Red Squirrel, you're a smaller dude. I get what best suits me. Looks like you did the same.

I guess I'll wait for the rest of this model year EVs to show up then decide. Fucking Ioniq 5 has no rear wiper, that is a deal breaker in Canada.

With Amazon's latest Fire update the tablet goes to sleep and shuts down even when playing music. The only use I have for the tablet is to play music. So now I have to force the display to stay on in order for the music to keep playing, a waste of power and screen. I generally keep the wifi off to avoid update problems but Rocket Player has to call home every month or two, forcing me to turn the wifi on occasionally, at which time Amazon f's things up.

Been to Thunder Bay a lot as well. Hell I once flew up to Thunder Bay to meet with some people that flew in from Kenora.
