Going to a grand opening of a newish company that one of my college roommates works at here.  Food, drinks & maybe some networking...https://lightshiprv.com/


Interesting.... the cyber truck of campers?   Hopefully networking, food & beverages all worked out tho.



Window washing and laundry day over here.  Dog sitter interview this afternoon in the hopes of finding someone dependable and intuitive enough so I can bring the little guy back from Michigan later this summer.


Sunny, breezy and a decent spring day here.  Hope you all enjoy yours!

Of sorts.  Multiple companies are jumping into this space.  Not sure it pencils at $125K+, but interesting concept.  My former employer had these on their radar.  Apparently, this one doesn't sap EV range as one of the axles on the trailer is e-axle (motor/generator), plus solar roof. 

There were plenty of EV enthusiasts/influencers there.  A couple cybertrucks, which are even worse up close: fit/finish is terrible, body panels don't match, easily smudged - just seem so gimmicky.

I never thought I'd struggle to find a mediocre / ok dog sitter but here I am. Today's at least gave me an hour notice that she couldn't meet because "something came up".  FFS.


I feel so unmoored without my snaggletooth.   blech.   The search continues.

Rowdy has been at doggie boot camp for the last three weeks, with three more to go. We really miss him.

Zeke doesn't. [laugh]

Good morning [coffee]

New car, exceeding expectations on fuel economy.  Over 50 MPG.  Excellent handling, though not as much fun as the Golf R.  Excellent automatic, but I miss having a manual.  Torque at zero RPM is a good thing.

I forget that you have a dog!   Friend of mine sent her boxer to a 6 week stay/train boot camp and he's a MUCH better dog citizen because of that.  Zeke not a fan, huh?    ;)


Sounds like a fun ride, Howie.   [thumbsup]


ION:  Started my day by dumping my very full coffee upside down on my passenger seat, between seat and center console, on a library book I was going to return yesterday....   [bang].    Bike (gravel) skills clinic I made it to was good so there's that.


Time to go mop up the dried up coffee in the car.  Have a good one, peeps.
