Air for my bike tires. I'm trying to get in shape a little.

That is about the right price for them. $20 for them is 4 times too much. Check out puff (dot) com. If your local stores are selling them for around $20 a cigar your best bet is to buy them online, even with shipping cost it will be so much cheaper.

Or try to buy some seconds. Had some before and couldn't tell a difference. Just a visual problem, but none with the actual wrapping or tobacco.

You had to pay for it? There's tons of gas stations with free air compressors.

Yep. That's not the actual air compressor that I used though, just some random picture from the vast land of the Interwebs. All of the gas stations in this area require some form of payment for the air compressor. The only one that gives free air is on Ft. Eustis and that one is broken at the moment.

Same way around here and finding a station that actually has an air pump seems to be harder all the time. I think they should have something where if you buy gas you get a token for the air pump. :)

That blows (pun intended).

I will never pay a gas station for air. I know of a handful around my usual routes that have a hose around back for the shop compressors. I look for ones that have a lube station connected since they usually have stronger compressors and can fill your tire up before your knees give our and hands go numb holding that stupid thing steady.

Around here, most places that service cars no longer sell gas, and most gas stations don't service cars. :(

Well that's a bummer then. My only other suggestion is a local bike shop, especially the one you got your bike from if its convenient. They'll do anything to get you back in the door to spend money on accessories.

I got a new bike this spring and the shop promised me 15% off for a year on all accessories. Unfortunately for them I got shoes and pedals for less than they charge for a pair of shoes. I'd like to support local shops but not at the cost of getting bent over on some of this stuff. Especially when they'll still help me put some of it together.

^^^^The bike shop where I bought both of our bikes provides free tune-ups on your bike for as long as you own it. I just make sure to tip the guy that does the service......

I don't think that would work out too well for '07 Toyota Corolla. :D

God, I miss my Pokémon cards. I have so few now. Used to have a bunch of really awesome cards and then I gave them away - what a fool.

Picked this up for $1.00 where I work. Can't beat a deal like that, no matter what it is. Such a great movie too.

Can you post a picture of the decal when you get it on your computer? Where'd you order that one from ... etsy? Looks awesome. I want one.
