I didn't realize the first world problem I had until this...

I want to buy a cheap road bike to see how I like it, but the money I'd spend on one is currently earmarked to buy the trailer I need for my racecar.

[vreihen16]

Funny coincidence is that a Trek trail/road bike suddenly appeared in my enclosed race car hauler right after I bought it. A fellow driver had it sitting in his garage unused, and gave it to me out of the blue as a paddock bike for weekends.

I pulled it out of the trailer last fall, and took it for a quick spin around our neighborhood after airing up the tires. I am afraid to take it through the gate into the 6000+ acre state forest that I live next next to these days, because the tires are in need of replacing from dry rot now and also because my health is bad enough where fast ambulance access is a serious concern.....

If it's in decent shape, it should sell quickly for a nice price these days.

Mercedes has "Mercedes Me Connect" and the older "Mercedes Me" app.

They function exactly the same but for 2 different models. They look completely different too.

The first app controls the GLC and the older app controls the E400.
So if you want to start both cars at the same time, you have to open each app individually!

When I had my C7 and Tahoe at the same time. I could just scroll down to different vehicle and control them in the same app.

Also, Alexa can only control one Mercedes at a time.
So, you could only start one car with an Alexa command.

So inconvenient!!!

It is in excellent shape, other than the rotting tires. I would really like to put new tires (and tubes?) on it and have the spokes professionally adjusted, so I'm not afraid to ride it...and also to see if I can pedal it more than 1/4 mile without my ticker seizing up.

I don't remember what model it is off the top of my head, but it is very similar to the Trek 820 that was provided when I did a group day tour of Bermuda over 15 years ago. Thought that we were going to all wind up in her majesty's prison that day for trespassing at (billionaire?) Stewart Motts' estate, but the guy was super-cool and even invited our tour guides back for dinner! That rather odd but memorable encounter made the assteroids that I suffered for the next few days worth the pain.

Bringing this back to the original topic, he lived on an oriental "junk" boat in the Hudson River off Manhattan at one point just because, and drove a Volkswagen despite being an heir of a General Motors founder.....

Same with us. We opted for pizza tonight.

I’ve got two today.

I wish the passenger mirror would dip faster when I shift into reverse. I hate waiting for it to show me the curb.

I wish the rear view camera would boot up faster after I start car and shift into reverse.

Man I hate to wait.

Someone stole my compost bin from in front of my house on collection day. Who does that sh*t?!

[CTinline-six]

I made a really delicious chicken salad for lunch.









...but left it in the fridge today instead of bring it to work. My only options in the area I'm in today are eat something from McDonald's and regret it for the rest of the day, or something from a gas station.

I don't know why they stopped making salads. Some of the girls in the office are obsessed with Mikey Ds. Their salads were pretty good in a pinch. Now, I'm on my own if that is the lunch choice.

That straight up sucks. I'm not gonna lie, I love some McDonalds fries and a coke. They have the best cokes ever.

The problem is McD's always messes with my stomach, especially their fries. It always tastes good but I pay for it later. I haven't eaten it in a while, which will usually magnify this problem. It kinda sucks that where I'm working today is out in the middle of nowhere.

McDonald fries are great when they're hot but can also be used as building insulation when cold.

I had a piece of fry fallen and went underneath the front seat of my car. 3 years later when I turned my lease in, I found that piece of fry perfectly intact. That tells me it's a perfectly safe. Much like the inert polystyrene of a cooler.

Micky D's or gas station sushi, that is the question? Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the vomiting and abdominal cramps of botulism, or to twist arms wiping a sea of diarrhea.....

Checking the port / rail yard cams and refreshing the order status page 10x a day on BMW's website waiting for my car to arrive...

I actually went down and sweet talked the cafeteria ladies at the high school I was working in and was able to buy a pretty decent sized lunch for $3.

[vreihen16]

In all seriousness, I can count the number of times in the last 35 years that I've eaten in the cafeteria where I work on just two fingers. I'd rather get away from work or lock my office door and eat lunch.....
