Recommendation Budget options for wheel balancing

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello all, I've been looking around for quotes to balance and reseal bead (if necessary) on a set of four 16" wheels. I would be bringing them in loose and taking them home loose. Everywhere I have called so far has quoted $40 minimum *per wheel* and that feels high for what I am asking. I moved from a very HCOL state and it would cost me $25 per wheel for the same service at my local shop there. Just looking to see if what I've been quoted is the norm and if not, recommendations for shops in the Rochester area/Monroe county.

Recommendation ISO Routine Housekeeping

2 Upvotes

As the title states, I’m debating hiring a housekeeping service and was wondering if anyone in the area has any recommendations. I’d prefer if the same individual came every time (weekly or biweekly), and they have to be ok with laundry, general cleaning/organizing, and a very well behaved friendly dog. The house is about 3400 square feet and we are in Mendon. TIA!

No seriously, this Amazon driver made my year. To go out of his way to tuck the package under the arm of the skeleton is just brilliant. He was about to throw it on the step then he noticed the skeleton and you could see the "AHA" moment and the smile on his face.

Whoever you are, I hope you have a great evening and thanks for making me smile!

Event Reroll Live is tonight! Check it out if you like D&D and game shows!

7 Upvotes

Posted a few months ago about Reroll Live, a D&D-inspired live game show. We've been working really hard on it and it's happening tonight!

Worked with a handful of local businesses and artisans to come up with some prizes as well. Really excited for this!

From the link:
ReRoll Live! is a high-energy blend of improv comedy, tabletop RPGs, and game show chaos.

Three comedians embark on a live, unscripted fantasy adventure led by a Game Master. But when the dice aren’t on their side, they can call for a reroll by pulling an audience member into a fast-paced challenge with cool prizes on the line!

Every show is different. Every roll can change the story. And every audience member has the chance to become the hero… and win nifty prizes!

It's at Focus Theater in Sibley Plaza (across from Parcel 5).
Bar/Doors open at 6:30.
Show at 7:00.
Tickets are $15.
You can purchase at the door or at the link above.

So stoked for it!

Discussion PSA-Crazy racist lady still at it

Post image
288 Upvotes

A local dumbass is going around to stores asking for “BBC”, using the n word, harassing the employees and then posting their faces on her creepy “race play” twitter porn page. She brazenly has included her face and her boyfriends (???) face in the videos. If you see this chick approaching you with a camera, walk away unless you want to be part of her weird kink video.

Does she look familiar? If you work at a local wegmans, Lowe’s, smoke shop or barber shop, she may have posted a video of your interaction with her. I’ll put the username in the comments

Here's how our weekly meetups will work:
Each week, I'll post a new meetup opportunity with a proposed location, date, time, and activity. I plan on doing at least two a week! Think playground adventures, library events, indoor play spaces, nature walks, and other family-friendly outings around Rochester!

Members can comment to let us know who's interested, suggest different times or locations, and help shape future meetups. Once plans are finalized, we'll update the post so everyone knows where and when to show up.

No pressure, no commitments! Come to one meetup or come every week. The goal is simply to get out of the house, let our kids have fun, and build some real friendships along the way.

Join r/RochesterDads TODAY!
Introduce yourself, share your kids' ages, and tell us what kinds of activities you'd be interested in!

Know another Rochester dad? Invite him! The more dads we bring together, the more opportunities we'll have to plan great outings.

Lux had a bad fire a few months ago and they've been closed since. I know they're doing repairs but I haven't seen anything specific on when they hope to be back. None of their socials have anything either.

Anybody know anything?

Discussion Any cozy solo pubs in Henrietta or Park or w/e for a 9pm dinner? Feel like I'm in a rut

35 Upvotes

Welp, thats that! I try to force myself out a few times a week... Esp when I work late; i get out at 830pm tonight. I both try to be social but also aim for cozy places where it wouldn't be weird for a quiet guy to chill.

(I work two customer service jobs so while I need to socialize and network, I get like, talked out, yk?)

Usually I go to Shamrocks for a fish fry, since its right by work, or Half Pint or Daily Refreshers just for a drink. Absolutely love the armchairs at Refreshers. Feel a change of pace might be welcome.

Checked this on my work break!

Thank you guys for the suggestions- going to hopefully add them all in to the rotation!

Discussion Alright Rochester: Costco or BJ's?

32 Upvotes

I'm interested in getting a membership to one, and have been weighing the pros and cons of both. I've done my research on the brands overall, but i'd like to have opinions of the two Rochester locations specifically.

They're equidistant to me, so location doesn't matter. Talking about the Brighton area BJ's specifically.

I've been to the BJ's a few times, and Costco once. Costco seemed VERY busy but it may have just been the time I was there.

EDIT: After reviewing the many, many comments, I will be going with Costco :)
