:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist
STI was an old car that you could buy new. It had pretty massive turbo lag, a notchy shifter, hydraulic steering, and the gas mileage of an old car. To some people, that's unique and endearing, to others it's inefficient and slow. On a back road, it's not like the STI was going to get left completel...

It was entertaining to watch. NFL is a company after all, selling you a product.

Dem bicicletas dos, doe.
The Madone is LAID out. Phew. I hopped on one while cross-shopping the TCR and that had to be the least comfortable bike I've ever been on. It's so long up top I probably would have needed a 52, but then the drop to the bars would have been enormous. Yeah a lot of the bikes seem to be going that wa...

Went to the local Trek store to put little dude on a 16” bike since his 12” balance bike is reaching its limit. Looks enormous for him so we might hold off for a bit. 14” bikes seem to be tough to find, with the more major brands only doing 12 or 16. I talked to the sales dude about a test ride. The...

Went over to J-Bo's house yesterday and went on a little e-bike test ride with :tits: , she is definitely warming up to the idea of bicycle commuting :excited: It's going to require a lot of handholding on my part to get her going, basically riding the routes with her a few times at least, figuring...

Yeah. Works for us and our budget. A second car would really stretch the financials. I’d need something cheap that I could pay cash for.

Got a recall notice on the 12v battery cable so brought the CRV to the dealer to get that done. They hit my wife with the “your cabin air filter is dirty af we can replace it for $170” as well as another $700 of fuel treatments and snake oil. Thankfully she declined it. So I can’t trust the dealer. ...

Whelp, the van is fixed. The shop just ended up doing the top half as requested. Cost was $410 versus ~$240 to do it myself, but a) I don't have time, and b) It's nice to know they inspected the bottom half after it was all cleaned up and confirmed there's no additional leak. No new spots on the dr...

I hope these last a bit longer than the 4 digit miles. Let us know if the NVH changes also. I’m hoping so too. No downsides/noise so far! They probably dust more but these wheels get so filthy regardless I’m kinda :aintcare: It’s quite strange, all of the holes/spokes just collect dirt unlike anyth...

Yeah the CRV lost a lot in the last year too. All cars did. Sucks man. Not sure what the play is. If you’re going to keep it I’d do all of the recommended work. If you’re going to fix it and dump it then yeah as cheap as possible to stop the leaks. How bad is the rust? Everything else sounds managea...

Great places to live in the US
Minneapolis would fit the bill aside from the brutal winters and complete lack of daylight in winter. But great food scene, lots of fresh produce and farm to table stuff, great airport connections. Savannah Georgia was very pretty. Good food and very clean / well kept town. Not sure on quality of sc...

San Antonio has been growing like a weed. I’d avoid it at this point. The Carolina’s wouldn’t be bad. It’s high on my list too. If we ever decide to move from Philly region. It’s just your average giant track town Texas city imo. The riverwalk or whatever seems fun once a year or what not and there...

We just found out Lisa has gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes that can occur in pregnant women due to the way the placenta is working. It didn't correct with dietary changes so she now has to take insulin daily. We have to get all new care providers because our current ones can't prescribe in...

Last few weeks have been rough.. she finally got over the fatigue she had early on, but now she’s nauseous 24/7 the last few weeks. Past couple days she had a few stretches where she felt better, so hopefully that’s a sign of it starting to pass, but man I’m feeling bad for her. Tomorrow starts wee...

Michelle wanted to go to the movies yesterday.. we tried watching Poor Things. I don’t stay up on movies at all so hadn’t heard of it or seen any previews. Jesus it was bad.

I mean I don’t care if it rots away. It’s currently pooling water which drains against the foundation of the house. Foundation is stone and mortar so it’s just destroying that. I’ll try and devise some sort of drain system I think. Like shower drains, or maybe slots, with PVC underneath to at least...

On the plus side tho. Yesterday I got a bunch of stuff cleaned out of the old south Philly house. And did an emergency repair on the bathroom sink plumbing. The pipe that holds the plunger thing snapped in half. Had to drill holes in it to get it apart since it had totally seized together. But I was...
