HHT! First win of the year, second game of the year. And now next weekend probably won’t happen because les’ team has paused all games.

Hey, we got all of 4 games in. This is the 3rd or maybe 4th time.... w00t! It amazes me that they do not have blanket rules for testing, who has to sit, or requirements that are league wide. There are a few teams that only sit the positive players. That has worked so well- like dominoes after they play - everyone else gets to have frequent 'vacations' doing the responsible thing. :(

If UML doesn't play anymore, I wonder if Owen Savory will regret transferring. :-)

Would it be worth it for two periods to transfer and use a year of eligibility? ;-)

Ummmm is this a trick question? :p

Good Afternoon Lodge!

The last Christmas tree is down. Now to put everything away. THis is weird. Usually we have a string of events- dinners, brunch, teas, etc. THis time- nothing. I keep having the sense I haven't done something I should.
 
Good Afternoon Lodge!

I put lil on the research a new car trail. He is having a blast. Looking stuff up, researching, finding places that have what I want. I basically left it up to him. :) Everyone is happy.

Teaching this semester. Replay of every other semester. Find out they have not finalized the course, the plan, or even the people who are Lead or teaching. As the FIL would say- Gory be to God!

On the other hand it will be yet another adventure. ANd a bit of change in the pocket.
 
Glad you're looking for something new! Based on what you told me the other day, I would hate to hear you were on the road and your wheel fell off or something. :)

So, I got a text last night from my cousin P (her mom lives with my mom). She told me her daughter C was interested in my condo. I texted her back that I had taken it off the market and would be re-evaluating in the spring. But daughter C - I'm totally curious as to how she could afford it. She's an odd duck. I haven't seen her in forever and she treats cousin P like crap. Anyway, I texted my brother about it today, asking if daughter C has some inheritance I wasn't aware of. He told me she's graduating from law school in the spring so she probably will have a job and can pay for it. So, shame on me for not paying attention. If that's the case...how difficult is it to sell a place on your own? Ha! If I wind up selling to her I wouldn't necessarily have to deal with realtors or commissions. I do have an attorney. Hmmmm. Maybe I can start this process again sooner rather than later.

Just my $0.02, but from my last two car purchases:

Subaru Crosstrek, 2014: I am not likely to purchase another Subaru. Advertised up to 37MPG on the highway, but I'm lucky to hit 30MPG on the highway. It's fairly common for my MPG to be in the neighborhood of 20MPG during the winter, and that's been a common complaint from others with Crosstreks of different years. Something tells me that their test driver was doing 50MPH on the test track, and the test driver weighed maybe 100lbs., and only driven on a perfect summer day. The car is loud while on the road, and I knew that at the time of purchase, but it bothers me now that I have a family. The Bluetooth connection of the phone will be choppy at times due to the truck-like suspension causing a rougher ride; while that doesn't bother me for comfort, it does annoy me to have the audio for my calls, MP3s, audiobooks, etc. cut in and out. I've had two recalls on the car, one of them was after it had already caused me a great amount on consternation - the fuse that linked the action of pressing the brake pedal to being able to shift out of Parking gear failed, so my car wouldn't move. Lastly, the engine is underpowered for as bad as the fuel economy is. The positive is that the AWD is superior to my newer car, a Honda, and any other car I've driven in bad weather.

Honda CR-V, 2018: I purchased a lease return, EX package, and while most things about this car are great, I'm not wowed by a few things. First, because it's a push button start, the key fobs are always on while the car is in motion, and the batteries had to be replaced a couple months ago. It's not expensive to do this, but the Subaru's fobs are still going strong on their original batteries. Also related to the push button start is that there's no way to have the radio or Bluetooth feature running without having the car's engine also running. The rearview mirror requires an upgrade to make it auto-dimming. And the tire-pressure monitoring system won't tell you which tire is specifically low, but that's standard on equivalently equipped competitors...like the Subaru Forester. Otherwise, I really like the feel of the vehicle on the road, and the ability to turn on and off the Economy setting, which helps when driving in the city or trying to get up to speed on entrance ramps to the freeways. And the fuel economy is great, having hit 35MPG while cruising at 70MPH.
