Update

On Friday, I ended up buying a new set of tires for the Mazda 3, Firestone Potenza's, they are good tires. Although all season, I'll swap them out to winter tires in the fall.

They are not cheap, $721 to get them mounted and balanced, including tires. The bags they gave to me stunk like laundry, I think it was bacteria that accumulate in stale areas. I ended up discarding the bags, and re-bagging them with my costco clear bags.

I was wondering what that terrible smell was in my bedroom. I keep my room very clean, so when I found out where it was I quickly removed the culprit.

Because I slouch in my chair at home so much, I have decided to try and improve my sitting posture. I ended up buying a back-tension device called "A BetterBack" which is essentially a strap that attaches to each knee, which go to your back, with a pad that holds your back upright.
 
I'll see if it does anything. I'm hoping it will help. My back has been a bit sore since I took up riding the bike; I know I am out of shape climbing hills is hell. I've been using my Gopro to video record my rides, you can find them here:

I still think about Theresa every day. I do miss her dearly, especially since the 9 month will be coming up in 2 days.
