The :baby: :baby: :baby: chronicles

Yeah the CRV lost a lot in the last year too. All cars did. Sucks man. Not sure what the play is. If you’re going to keep it I’d do all of the recommended work. If you’re going to fix it and dump it then yeah as cheap as possible to stop the leaks. How bad is the rust? Everything else sounds managea...

Great places to live in the US

Minneapolis would fit the bill aside from the brutal winters and complete lack of daylight in winter. But great food scene, lots of fresh produce and farm to table stuff, great airport connections. Savannah Georgia was very pretty. Good food and very clean / well kept town. Not sure on quality of sc...

Home warranty service request just submitted. Had 17 items, from windows/door that don’t quite latch right and squeaky floors, to cracked drywall and deteriorated/missing grout and caulk. Hope these bitches don’t put up a fight and try to deny anything. Good luck. Every single claim we have made ha...

Soviet EV and taco chronicles + future ponderings about Fendie

San Antonio has been growing like a weed. I’d avoid it at this point. The Carolina’s wouldn’t be bad. It’s high on my list too. If we ever decide to move from Philly region. It’s just your average giant track town Texas city imo. The riverwalk or whatever seems fun once a year or what not and there...

We just found out Lisa has gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes that can occur in pregnant women due to the way the placenta is working. It didn't correct with dietary changes so she now has to take insulin daily. We have to get all new care providers because our current ones can't prescribe in...

Last few weeks have been rough.. she finally got over the fatigue she had early on, but now she’s nauseous 24/7 the last few weeks. Past couple days she had a few stretches where she felt better, so hopefully that’s a sign of it starting to pass, but man I’m feeling bad for her. Tomorrow starts wee...

Michelle wanted to go to the movies yesterday.. we tried watching Poor Things. I don’t stay up on movies at all so hadn’t heard of it or seen any previews. Jesus it was bad. Started picking up in the second half, but just a weird artsy-fartsy flick. I was down to leave 10 minutes in but toughed it ...

:( Was going to say that I haven't really used the subway much recently, used it a ton from 2014-2018 when my office was in Manhattan and it was pretty good. I used it a couple of times last year while in NY for work but pretty minimal. Actually had a good transit experience in SLC recently, their ...

I mean I don’t care if it rots away. It’s currently pooling water which drains against the foundation of the house. Foundation is stone and mortar so it’s just destroying that. I’ll try and devise some sort of drain system I think. Like shower drains, or maybe slots, with PVC underneath to at least...

On the plus side tho. Yesterday I got a bunch of stuff cleaned out of the old south Philly house. And did an emergency repair on the bathroom sink plumbing. The pipe that holds the plunger thing snapped in half. Had to drill holes in it to get it apart since it had totally seized together. But I was...

So update on the deck that pools water and drains it into the house foundation. According to the previous owner. They replaced the deck themselves. They switched it from a gapped board construction to a tongue and groove construction and did not alter the underlying structure at all. So another poin...

Didn’t read the entire article but a rear wiper is optional on a >$100k CUV? :wtf: Apparently used Taycans have depreciated a bonkers amount which is kind of cool. I wouldn’t mind being a third owner of one of these things for $30k. You would because of parts and service costs. 10k brake jobs and 5...

Well I went into sport mode every drive which disabled it automatically but it had that as well. The throttle not in sport mode made the manual kind of undriveable . The handful of times I did try it though, it was less annoying than in our Wrongler. This is what :triggered: me in the R. Blipping t...

I like the way VW did the light up badges (and rear badge!) on the ID.4. I don’t mind that vehicle overall really. Weird interior ergo quirks aside.

12k off. But yea... :yikes: IMO it competes really well with a Prius. As a commuter or daily car it’s pretty perfect. Especially if you have a second, gas powered vehicle for longer trips. Like it’s perfect for me aside from being a bit small. But Julian has no legs so 🤷‍♂️ maybe it wouldn’t be so ...
