Roaring Fork?
Ah my bad. Two Rivers Park at end. Roaring Fork R indeed
juggling trick: successful. it'll ding my credit score for a few months until the algorithms catch up to the proportionately reduced balance on the donor accounts.
but with the deposit to Betterment I just put in I'm within a few cents of $100k in my slush fund/taxable account. which was my goal for the Japan 2025 trip and all.
so now on to killing off some debts (while still drawing a bit more on said HELOCs for the roof upgrade whenever that comes. still no estimate!). first up will be that Slice 8.99% loan. then the floating PNC HELOC at 9.80% after that, with the forthcoming projected FOMC rate cut to help the HELOC rates out, to my benefit.
and then next month should be able to take another big chunk out, quite possibly killing the whole rest of that Slice loan that month.
edit: was a few cents shy of $100k. but I'd bought a decent chunk deliberately on the on-sale days during that temporary dip in the market. now up past $105k and Betterment furthermore harvested some tax losses from the episode. win-win, buying low.

$100K "slush fund." 
Japan tix aren't cheap given my desire to fly the return leg business class!
anyway, the high point in my debt trajectory should be in the next month or two. then it'll come down, finally near 0 by 2051 or so
Upon driving back home after dropping off a kid for a sleepover I was in a cluster of 9 cars stopped at a light across 3 lanes going one way. Of the 9, there was:
- my Busy Forks
- two current gen RAV4s
- one last gen Lexus RX
- a Scion tC
- and a Pontiac Vibe
6/9. Not bad, Toyota group. (The surprising thing is that there wasn’t a 4Runner or a Tacoma or two in the mix, I suppose.)

if any of y'all have a Bullfrog hot tub with two round filters then you should bid on these supplies I have up on eBay:
edit: the supplies sold... to someone who lives less than 4 miles away from my Tabernash house! I still shipped them, since they paid for shipping, rather than carting them up in person on Labor Day weekend when we'll be up.

Given that I have hypermobility I get echocardiograms every few years. Today was when I got my latest.
Global longitudinal strain of -23% is good. (Higher absolute value is better. Normal range is -15.9 to -22.1% per this.
EF of 63% (edit: officially downgraded on the final read to 55%, still fine), EDV of 166 mL, and a 105 mL SV at rest are good, as well, indicating I've been getting my cardio hours in over the years.
The real question is of whether my aorta remains normal--and to me it looked fine.

on the topic of wheels and tires, I should get a spare for the ID.Buzz when we finally get it at some unspecified date.
I also should get some 18" steelies for said ID.Buzz for the snow tires. I think they look amazing in a retro sense

for when she gets hers (and we get ours), the 18" factory VW steelies actually look amazing in a retro sense, imo. sourcing these might be a bit tough. https://www.vwidtalk.com/threads/vw-meb-steel-wheel.15021/

Does the car have somewhere to put it, out of the way?
Not having a spare tire on a lot of newer cars seems so odd to me. Especially here in north america where you can easily be out in the sticks with little cell service or be 8 hours out from a tow or something.
it really doesn't. just sits there taking up a portion of the cargo area, and the compartment below the flat floor is very shallow, only big enough for the level 1 EVSE. as long as I have room for it I shall keep it in there.
so as planned I shall lease a 1st edition AWD variant. Cabana Blue two tone, and the Dune interior that we'd want anyway is the only choice for that trim. negligible extra cost over an equivalent Pro S Plus AWD given the crossbars, Heritage floormats (whatever those are), and "Special owner's gifts" that I hope includes a tiny ID.Buzz model because that'd be awesome 
234 mi range for RWD, 231 mi for AWD. and that's sufficient for my use case if not exceptional by any means.

the pricing and range are new info. the trims were published a few months ago. still no word on on ground availability let alone specifics on lease deals that will determine my timing. I'd like to do this before ski season but not if lease deals are horrid (no lease cash, etc.)
One of y’all should buy this and convert it to a giant camper

latest word from another dude-bro at the same dealer:
"Hi Toshi, Tony with McDonald VW. I recently got out of a meeting and recieved[sic] info that the Buzz shoudl[sic] be available in December. I just would like to confirm that you are still interested in the Buzz!"
Mountain house hot tub: now with 100% more power. I changed its heater schedule to reflect the different peak/off-peak times of the local utility, MPEI.
edit: made it to 72F 2 hours later. so even with it taking a break to avoid the 5-10 pm peak electricity rates it'll be up to temp by tomorrow morning for the weekend rental group, and certainly cooking away nicely by the time my family is up for the long Labor Day weekend.

my eldest kid was disappointed that she didn't make the jump to the (what would have been high for her 11 year old self) mid level orchestra with the local youth symphony.
but she apparently impressed the judges during the blind seating auditions earlier this week, because in this new 2nd tier string ensemble she's in (that sits above the entry group she was in last year but below the top two orchestras) she shall be playing as concertmaster

did some new news article come out?

ah, referring to this paper:

yeah, it's showing an association. got to be teased out, and prospective data are much better. there may well be selection bias going on underlying who gets put on what.
(and I'm on a slightly different one, tirzepatide, anyway. it acts on GLP1 as does semaglutide, but also on another receptor, GIP.)
What if he has anal leakage?
