My eldest cousin reported in with the plague last night, he's worried about his wife getting it from him.
I'm discussing Marx vs Piketty with my sister.

I agree that it is cold outside.
I saw my PT guy yesterday and he said I've strained my gluteus medius. You guys will be happy to know he said to "Try it nao."

reading ultrasounds today. Normally this would be in house at the hospital but I have neither a resident (vacation) nor a fellow with me (just due to their rotation schedule). So I figure that gives me a great rationale for WFH instead, with no one to read out.
up to the mountains this weekend as per our usual. Shouldn’t be as bitterly cold this weekend for a change.

Wife is off getting her wisdom teeth hammered out, so its just me and the kiddo cuddling on the couch.
Good way to begin the chilly Friday, but I only took the morning off so I'll be back on the bullshit this afternoon.
Removal of wisdom teeth simply enriches dentists to no end.

We have not been in love with the new to us CRV we purchased this summer. I know it a stupid time to do this but we’re debating looking again. 
Might go RAV4 hybrid. . . If I can find one.

same. -42°F with the wind. was out riding last night, and I can attest that the wind is indeed very cold. drove my kids to school today, and even after a good half hour of driving, the (manual) gear box still felt like pudding.
Hers started poking through and were shifting some teeth.
Me, I've still got all 4. Got space for them to come in and they've never bothered me, so I'll continue staying wise.
What dontcha like about the CRV ?We have not been in love with the new to us CRV we purchased this summer. I know it a stupid time to do this but we’re debating looking again.

What did you get? The wife got a '21 that she loves. I don't hate it, but we didn't look at anything else. We wanted the hybrid, but this was all they had.We have not been in love with the new to us CRV we purchased this summer. I know it a stupid time to do this but we’re debating looking again.

on the other hand, if you can find a RAV4 Prime, isn't this month the window when all vehicles (but not all buyers--AGI limit still in effect now with the IRA) are eligible for tax credits, prior to the IRS submitting a final rule?

Last official day of "work" and will have to look for a job. Maybe I should run my resume through ChatGPT? That might be fun.
It's a warm 36 today and seems toasty compared to yesterday. Still nothing close to y'all easterners.

I told her to put this as her out of office message for as long as her email account remains.

We got a ‘19 EX-L non hybrid. It’s not that we hate it, we just don’t love it. I bash my knee on the shift lever console all the time. The AWD system is my biggest issue. It doesn’t seem to handle varying road conditions at all. I am a big Honda fan, just not this.
What in particular does it not do well?
You can feel the awd system searching when the road is ice/snow/clear mix. Enough so that the first time it did it I thought it was going to put me into a slide. Dealer says I don’t know what I’m talking about.
I think the hybrids aren't bad to find, but the plug ins are deathWe have not been in love with the new to us CRV we purchased this summer. I know it a stupid time to do this but we’re debating looking again.

I can feel that a little in our '17 CR-V, but it's about the same as any vehicle transitioning from, say, asphalt to gravel. I retain confidence in what the vehicle will do.
I also don't use cruise control in mixed winter conditions with either of our vehicles; vehicle deciding to shut the control down on any traction loss ain't nice.
oof, don't do the rav4 hybrid then. The AWD-i system is garbage. If you actually care about AWD, get something else. I think the regular motor version isn't bad, but the hybrid uses an electric motor in the rear and it's just enough power to get the car moving from a slippery stop, it has no bearing on how the car handles in a turn. It is effectively FWD until you finally put it in a snowbank and try to back out.
If the tires are worn unevenly an AWD system can get confused and is always thinking you are slipping on something. You need to rotate tires a lot with AWD vehicles especially those with active differentials.
My car calibrates the rolling speed of all the wheels in lieu of a pressure based TPMS sytem, I wonder if it also uses that data for the AWD system?
It has brand new rubber, it was “certified” when we bought it and the dealer put new rubber on. I asked at the time why a vehicle with 18,000 miles needed new tires.
@Sandwich that’s what I wondered. I’ve driven my friends 22 rav4 hybrid and it seems nice, but not in snow. I’m more concerned since it’s my wife’s vehicle. My ‘16 fwd accord handles now like a boss.
@johnbryanpeters. Same, I have turned off all of the lane change/braking/cruise bull shit. Not a fan.
When searching for new car we were set on either a CRV-HRV, awd. We test drove both and hated the HRV, much less the CRV. But Honda dealer had a Forester that was just traded in. Was willing to get off the lot quickly cause, not a Honda. We test drove it and immediately fell in love. Big windows, uncluttered cockpit, nice power (2.5) and a general solid fell. When winter came we were not disappointed. That thing drives like a charm. Not the most economical, but we only average 6k miles a year.
I, too, dislike the crowded center console feel! 'tis electric so may not be suitable for you, but the Hyundai Ioniq 5's interior is so lovely and open in that regard.
Welcome to how FWD-based Haldex systems drive
The Forester has a solid AWD system! and big windows, yes. I recall it feeling narrow when I test drove it years back, though, fwiw.
