As far as computer upgrades go, I don't really have a weak execuse. All the upgrades I've had -- all 7 of them -- were more or less caused by a desperate need for more computing power.
My mountain bike, however, has had some serious cash spent on it over the last few months, some probably frivolously. The latest was a pair of tires, bought from a used sporting goods store, for $50 each. (They also deal in buying out old stocks, so the tires are brand new.)
The justifaction? I've had the old ones since the bike was bought, and they were wearing out. Sounds totally sound and valid except when the fact that I've only installed one of the new tires, and am still running the old tire in the front. And I plan to put the old rear-tire on the front once it's actually worn out. :whistling:
Oh well. It's always good to have spares around. :P
