I like the Dodge because it has actual gauges and no TV screen. And it turned out to also be immune to the bug that made FCA vehicles susceptible to hacking. Since fixed, of course, but still.

I worked at Buick when the Riviera and Reatta had actual CRT screens with touch control. 88-89, iirc.

I was in the OR for a procedure recently with an IV set in my hand. When the anesthesiologist turned up the juice it was so painfully cold I make a protest sound. The guy pointedly refused to make eye contact with me, he knew it had to hurt . . . if only I had a couple more seconds of consciousness I would have taken a swing at him.

If I drive 200 miles in a month that's a lot for me.

Crypto.
P&R
Just don't make the shares go to the client, if in Canada.
P&R
I'm working on a corporate stock purchase deal that involves a seven figure loan to my client. The bankers keep trying to fit it into a checklist that was written for deals involving the purchase and sale of a business' assets which is something completely different. It's like pounding a square peg into a round hole or trying to force a 2.5" wheel/tire into a fork that only clears 23mm, it just doesn't fit the deal. But, I just can't get it through the banker's head. It's not that complex and should not be over the head of a lender lending that kind of money. At the end of the day it just means that I get paid more.

I had a new pickup in 1993 and it was great. I might look for one like it if I needed to. 6 cylinder, 5 speed, 20mpg and comfortable. Probably some fixers out there for $3K?

That's just weird. I mean, I know it's the natural progression of things, but it seems impossible. Hell, if HE'S that old, then I must be old, too!

If I was looking at that range I would be less inclined to look for a specific model and try to find the best condition something that would work. When I bought the Trailblazer I wanted something I could put bikes inside of and it just showed up at the job as a trade in. Cost $2750 and I've driven it for 9 years and about 100K miles.

I spent a pleasant, if warm half hour last night on the trainer on Zwift. Mostly Z1/Z2, but it felt good to do a couple minutes of Tempo. Infected leg didn't complain. I'll stick to the trainer this week, see if I'm up to a couple hours outside on Sunday.

If I am doing something that gets me hot, sweaty, and/or dirty first thing in the morning (such as riding my bike), I'm going to wait until after that activity to take a shower. It still may be in the morning when that happens.

one of the (other) three managers in my department is leaving the company at EOW, family reasons. The three of us had lunch today and I had a beer, now I'm sleepy
