Well, gas is now solidly over $4 here, with Diesel pushing $6. I know it's worse elsewhere, but here we go.

Built a pair of Corsi-Rosenthal boxes to deal with the smoke. Pepper hates fans, but she loves them. I guess the filters have a nice gentle intake breeze. (No photos yet despite it being #caturday.)

Watching an old #Emergency! episode. Still love the show half a century later, and I keep noticing things on rewatch:

1. Pregnant woman accidentally shot in abdomen, unresponsive. No blood, everyone is calm, vitals are crap.

This is a LEVEL ONE TRAUMA. In modern TV (The Pitt etc.) this would be a huge deal, with a rapid team response.

On 1970's TV? The words say bad things are afoot, but we see none of it. She survives, husband faints. Cue laughs.

What a difference a day makes.

Yesterday was gray & my mood matched.

Today is sunny & warm. I am happily enjoying a few minutes on a park bench between appointments. The sun feels good and my view of a busy highway is still nice.

@vwdasher We’ve had bad experiences with cheap Chinese made trailer tires in this market. I’ll probably shell out for Goodyear Marathons and consider the job done for another 8 years or so. Maybe they’ve gotten better, but I know multiple ppl who have had Carlisles blow out at speed.

Got the utility trailer out of storage today. Was a bit upset to note it needs tires. It’s still new!

Wait, bought it in 2018. Been to Indiana 3x, NYC twice, plus my local usage. In that time I’ve changed trucks, put new tires & a starter on the new one. Bought a car, wore it out, bought another.

Ok, maybe not so new. Time is weird since the pandemic began. I guess I can buy some more tires.

We also Rube Goldberg-d the house bell into our modern dispatch system so it still rings when we get a call.

Marathon Madness

The car is loaded, the lights are charging, and I'm getting excited. Tomorrow I'll be participating in the Midnight Marathon, a pirate ride of the annual Boston Marathon route. As the name implies, it sets off from Hopkinton at midnight. This year I'll be entirely self propelled. It's unofficial, completely disorganized, and a ton of fun. Last year was my first.

@vwestlife@mastodon.social Yup. Have and love a 2024 Crosstrek. Might’ve considered an upgrade to an Outback, but that thing is not an Outback. I hear it’s a decent machine. Should’ve just been the new Forrester.

@HamonWry Got yelled at once by a Dunks employee b/c “bathrooms are for patrons only.” I spend $5-10 every visit, multiple times a week. That time I bought a single munchkin, demanded to see the manager, and I will never set foot in the Kittery, ME location again.

@tikibunnyimports Ooh! So many of the ones I’ve seen here end up stripped and are just little trucks with funny bodies. A fully equipped one rocks.
