Saw this guy last night.

RHD with the Union Jack on the top…

Saw this on Reddit

I like the thought of “one station wagon” being a unit of measure...

Right, then...

So, I’m trying to not be so fat about it. Did low carb but recently shifted to attempting self control and not eating everything like a maniac. Using Loseit to track calories by entering the foods I eat. It approves of my cheese consumption.

Had to do a building walk today and one of the women on the walk rolled up in a Mercury Marauder. She looked like she knew what she was doing, too…not just someone that just needed a car and this was for sale. I’d have snapped a shot, but didn’t want to creep her out, but point is: saw cool car and thought of you guys.

Right, then…

It’s 11pm on Maui. Parked in front of the place…it’s like an old hotel where the doors face the parking lot. Quiet hours, so I manually lock the Jeep so the horn doesn’t beep. I triggered the panic alarm, and could not figure out how to shut the fucking thing off for a minute (unlock, starting the car, nothing worked). GF finally hit the panic button again and it shut off. Everyone’s awake now. Fuuuck…

@distraxi Mine is super arcane. Many many years ago there was an ad for a bank in the Bay Area. It featured their awful competitor calming a frustrated customer with meditation and, when that did not work, culminated with the banker saying “SOMEbody needs to wear the pyramid hat!” For reasons unknown it’s always stuck with me.

Right, then...

We all got COVID at the end of January. Fortunately it was mild to moderate symptoms. Daughter and GF are mostly recovered, but I have some lingering lung issues (which I attribute to having asthma as a child and current sufferer of allergies). Sense of taste is partially back, as is a little bit of smell, but what I smell mostly is cigarette smoke (GF smelt wood smoke when she experienced it). But what’s kicking my ass is fatigue. I felt decent last weekend and had about 8 light chores that I wanted to do, and last week, like the prior 4 was goddamn insane, work wise, so I bonked Friday afternoon. All weekend has been very little (put some stuff away at the garage and headed to the apple store to sort daughters phone...but that’s it. Nothing strenuous. Just got up from a nap and am still wiped. I realize I’m still very fortunate that I’m not in ICU, but goddamn, I want to get back to doing shit.

@highlander it’s terrible. I love it.

@just-jeepin it was a radio ad. I can’t find it myself. But about those antipsychotics…..

So, years ago, I switched to a dynamo hub because I didn't like messing with batteries. With that I got this light: https://www.amazon.com/Müller-Lumotec-bicycle-dynamo-headlight/dp/B015DK26VW/ref=asc_df_B015DK26VW/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309849426425&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2417850237855179974&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031974&hvtargid=pla-455837427510&psc=1

I actually had someone at a stop light get out and ask me what I had because he liked how bright it was.

@cash-rewards it started up when I was getting into my car (The Subaru of Complete and Total Competence, next to it).

Neighbors daughter in law had one of these in the 70’s. She later bought my dads ‘62 Karmann Ghia
