Just waking up. Need coffee.
Fuck it, verified.
you riding bikes this weekend?
i'm here. successful fone screen last night. Onto a face to face. Not really sure I want to move on, but "just seeing what's out there" has turned into something pretty quick.
I should have sushi for lunch...
Good morning, pretties! Went for a JOG before work and I did not dress warm enough. I'm not used to 40 degrees yet, but I ain't complaining. I might actually go for a MOUNTAIN BIKE ride this weekend if work doesn't screw that up for me. Wife ordered a Juliana Roubion the other day. She's stoked.
Here. Should be done today by 1:30pm. Debating getting a plug-in hybrid for myself, given I'm driving 100 miles per day now. I still want something that can get me up to the mtn though, which is keeping me from a total electric. Only options where the mileage makes sense are sedans, which don't have the space that I'd like though. Gotta wonder what a box would do over the winter. My mileage on the Subaru actually got better when I took the wind screen off and put the box on. That and all the reasonable priced hybrids are fwd vs AWD, which is not my preference by any means.
That plus a solar system will be a brutal up front, but will pay itself off over 5-7 years then be net positive and cleaner long-term.
Still need to figure the cost of a new car purchase vs. running the Subaru until death. This would probably lead to a definitive selling of the M though to get the principal out.

Morning Monkeys.
FTS Friday is also Jury Duty Friday, yay. My final interview is scheduled for Tuesday at 3, I have the main piece of automation written and only have a few tweaks left.
The scenario I am automating is a basic:
Navigate to site, sign up for account, log in and configure user, then create a flight plan, save it, try to log it, view error (can't log a flight plan without adding a flight), then delete said plan.
There isn't an email verification, so bogus email accounts work, too. Chrome autofill, while convenient, really pisses me off sometimes.
So far I am pretty happy with it. Just not sure how far to take it or how robust to build it. Overkill is likely.

4:45 gym time roll out, check. At least I feel like I'm making progress. Saw the new Rambo movie last night with a buddy. Definitely darker than I thought it was going to be, but decently entertaining. More went to just hang out with my dude without the wife and kids for a change. Had the day off for a doc appointment and just some other stuff I've been needing to get done. Finished up some parts, took the wife's Highlander in for it's last included service. Hitting that disappointing time on a new car where you have to start paying for shit and fixing things.
2 coffees down and i'm still not feeling today. might be time for an espresso.
This is highly relevant to my interests.
The only PHEV that'd be up your alley would be the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. AWD, good cargo room (long 2 row vehicle), shitty interior, adaptive cruise that turns off after stopping. But also fits the bill.
I'd also offer that my Model 3 (long range AWD) has plenty of range to get up to the mountains and back without charging, in tough winter weather no less. And if you go farther or feel nervous there's a Silverthorne Supercharger bank, with another in Idaho Springs eventually. Plus there are two 2" hitch options for bikes (Torklift and Stealth). If you run some TCO calculations I bet it'd win... but it's a sedan.
(Or you could wait out the Model Y, which would be awesome for your use in similar LR AWD trim with the practicality of a hatch.)
Re solar the Fed tax credit is going from 30% to 26% to 22% this year/2020/2021. So if you think solar prices will drop more than 4% per year wait until 2021, but not until 2022 when the credit vanishes outright.
Meetings 2/4 done already. Told my manager that I think we're going to have to do some things differently until he finishes hiring someone, which he agrees and will send out the email later today. Starting my annual review process today, which given where we're at so far, should go pretty damn well. He is sending another new rep from TX to CO to train with me next month. Of his 25 reps, I'm 6th or 7th newest by years, but I'm training people; I'll take that positively.
One more meeting in 25min then home to get the head unit installation in the Subaru finished.
I got Haley a pair of Zoic girls bike shorts that she refuses to wear because they are not pink. She is going to have a very rude awakening when she crashes in her lightweight, pink, cotton shorts. I've tried explaining that cotton snags and causes tumbling while polyester slides, but she thinks sliding is worse, despite my thorough experience else wise.
For the car folk, I just saw/heard a supercharged b6 RS4 drive by. That has the sound of go

sounds like you need to be a more assertive parent. no shorts = no ride
The Mitsubishi does check the box of replacing the Subaru and gas savings in large part would flatten out the solar cost. I just wish there was a nice prebuilt calculator for solar + ev - current vehicle estimates.
No. I'm just taking all of her armor, less helmet away and we'll ride until she crashes. She'll get it back then. You don't want it? Deal with the consequences.
still want
killington? why? Who are you going with?
Maybe, that's pretty close but I've got all kinds of kid shit on the horizon. I'll check my calendar
Do Solitude and enjoy the mud.
When were you last there? Shreddy looked like it had been freshly re-shoveled. Same with Sideshow Bob; HOOOOOGE fresh berms due to the construction.
Krusty was crusty, but also had some fresh berms.
My fellow winchesterian Albert is going, I am tagging along.
K, let me know.
But its a Mitsubishi.......... You have at least some good taste in cars, so I question your judgement on this matter.
Coffee, food, dogs walked, horse walked. Now watching friends ride
After two weeks of working 14 hour days on random shifts I told work to fuck right the fuck off for the day. My big project successfully implemented by sheer force of will. I was supposed to move on to a new development project but am now being told I need to stick around to support the old one. That will require working 3rd shift every 4 days. To that I say bullshit. I have enough sick and vacation days this avoid Evey fourth day indefinitely. I am going to demand a replacement to train and a pay bump if they don't want things to get difficult.
Holy hell, what a shit show. The jury summons has the address for city hall on it, then says "the double glass doors across from the plaza". City Hall has a single glass door and is across from the bathroom. The NEW courthouse has double doors across from a parking lot and the OLD courthouse has double doors and is across from the park. My money was on the old courthouse.
It was city hall. Either way, it was cancelled for today, duty served. She pointed out the number on the back that you can call the night before. The summons says to show up, but if you call and it's cancelled, no need. Good to know.

Trust me. I've skipped past it more than once, but at least it's not a Chrysler Pacifica. Sometimes you have to look past the outside and at the net.
My narrow wide chain wheel shows up tomorrow and the auction for my shifter/derailleur ends Monday. Any luck this bitch with newish 1x11 will be ready to ride next weekend. I for one am excited. The rain is here, but trails aren't soaked yet.
waiting on the hot tub service tech. not really feeling much more work today.
While I'm fully in asshole mode with my moody 13 yr old daughter, patches like this (obviously she picks them out...) might help her buy into the shorts...
Pink Bunnies Patrol Patch
pink bunnies patrol patch, pink bunny patrol patch, bunny patrol patch, pink patrol patch. 2" round Scout Patrol Patch for Scout BSA Patrols and Webelos Patrols. No minimum order BSA Patrol Patches.

Then watch some chicks rocking zoics (or other black bike shorts and armor) while crushing downhill without commenting on their attire
I unnecessarily replaced my 2016 Outback with a 2019 Outback last weekend (the 3.6R). I wasn't looking for a new car, but Wife took my car in for warranty service, and a salesperson approached her about the exchange. The dealer really wanted to get a deal done despite the high mileage on my car (80K after three years). It ended up costing me about $2000 out of pocket for the new car, which I wrote a check for. My payments are going up $20 though because I bought a 150K mile extended warranty, so my plan is keep this car long enough to take advantage of that warranty, unless of course Subaru decides to offer me another new car before that. The new car came with $1200 worth of extra stuff that I didn't want, which they didn't charge me for, the highlight of which is the remote starter. I never had a remote starter, so that'll be cool to use.
YAY TOY!! For the record, Wife handled this entire transaction start to finish, including the negotiating. My involvement was limited to writing that check. I'll miss my red car but the green has grown on me.
Yes, 2020 was redisigned. This is the 2019 six cylinder. Six cylinder has been discontinued with model year 2020 and replaced with a four cylinder "turbo." This is my third six cyl Outback.
