Yeah it was $519 shipped. It seems it's an old model they were clearing out so there was a huge discount on it. Unfortunately a day or so after I ordered it they put it out of stock and it hasn't come back.

It's some no name Chinese brand but honestly build quality seems pretty nice to me. The others I was looking at with similar specs were all closer to $1k. Specifically looking at folding ebikes. Decided to take a chance with this one and see if I even like ebikes before spending more. Reliability I guess is the big question and wont know that for a while.

New Hikers. The old ones have been promoted to gardening shoes.

Seems I've been on a bit of a spree since we moved to the new property. My wallet is burnin'.

I'll keep it to some new shoes, though.

Some trail runners to replace my billion mile Altras


Water shoes for the river


Casuals for out and about

Another TP-Link 16-Port Managed Gigabit Switch. I'm getting ready to do some link aggregation with my NAS boxes, so I need more ports than I have available in my current 8-port switch. I also bought another MagSafe charger and stand to use in my office.

An early birthday present to myself for use next February when we go to Antarctica. I got a very good deal on it. Open box but never used. It's pristine.

It's an APS-C lens, so it's a 105-525 full-frame equivalent on a Sony a6700.

I got the "super secret" ticket link from my "sort-of" stepsister this morning (she's one of Tay-Tay's dancers), so I was able to purchase seven tickets to Taylor Swift in the Premier Section in Paris on Saturday, 11 May.

Tickets are a LOT cheaper there (at least on face) than here. $263.50/pp all-in with taxes and fees. Of course, they're going for $3000/pp IF you can find one-- I think there's something like 80,000 people who wanted tickets and couldn't get them? Yikes.

It should be a good time. My "sort-of" stepmother (her daughter is the dancer), myself, my wife and four of our friends (three are ex-AF and two are current airline pilots) are going to fly over to do the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the concert, Giverney and Champagne. My wife and I are going over a couple of days early and are going to spend an extra two days in London doing the Tower, Churchill's War Room and the British Museum.

Being grounded for my FAA Medical isn't a huge amount of fun, but there *are* a few benefits to it.

R.

Wow, I never thought ticket prices would return to some semblance of sanity. Those are great prices. Good to have connections, eh?

Bonus points. Cleaning it out and starting to rummage through for the first time.

Last fifteen years of maintenance and registration in place.

All cigarette lighters unused looking brand new.

The original plastic on the Lexus-branded towel next to the spare tire (can’t let the executives have dirty hands after they change their tire) was in place. I touched the plastic, and it and it disintegrated immediately. Towel is like new!

Embedded tool kit (trunk) and first aid kit (under driver’s seat) look to have been opened by me for the first time in their life.

All carpet (including trunk) looks brand new under the floor mats.

Only thing I can find so far that doesn’t work is the upward movement for the passenger mirror.

December ‘97 manufacture date parked next to my 80’s October ‘97 manufacture date.

Color me impressed. Rotors may need a turn and brake system a flush. That’s all I can find through initial impressions. Maintenance agrees.

A few albums for my collection. Bought used on Etsy. Seller graded as VG+, but I'd give them EX-... Always a good thing to have conservative gradings.
A few Doobie Bros, Santana Moonflower, Ted Nugent (for high school party days flashback).

Took advantage of the yearly sale at HD ($2/ 1.5cu ft) and picked up 60 bags of the stuff this weekend. Wife and I spent all day yesterday going through drip watering systems, burying the wires for my new low voltage lighting, and spreading that stuff. That much mulch only refreshes about 1/3 of our property, but we do a different 1/3 each spring. Needless to say I'm a little stiff and sore today.
