Just bought a place on variable two months ago. Off to a good start!

And it opened shortly after I moved away. I’m fairly optimistic at least a few of the new Kelowna city councillors watch his channel.

Synecdoche. Haven’t come across a good new word in a while, thanks!

Definitely look for that. I had a Rabbit before so the Alltrack was a tempting next step, but was able to get a new 2021 Crosstrek with a manual. It’s somewhere between a lifted hatch and a wagon. Managed to fit some 8ft 2x2s in there so I’d say it’s pretty functional.

So a jacked up truck trying to go 80 behind me is bearing down on me, swearing and flailing their arms around? I have no problems with this in quiet residential streets, but bikes just are not compatible with most North American roads. They’re too slow to play with cars, they’re too fast for sidewalks and pedestrians, and too useful and fun to ignore, so bike lanes are the best answer we have.

I busted out my brs3000 at a camp with some friends of friends at exactly the same time as one of them did. It’s truly a moment when you meet your stove bro in the wild. I do miss my pocket rocket sometimes though, rest in rusty peace lil fella.

Running? Maybe not free, but shoes are a pretty reasonable price for admission. Great way to get out and see more of your city, trails, or even while you’re traveling. Healthy and feel good endorphins are a bonus.

Photography? Yes a proper camera helps, but your phone has one. Third party camera apps can help make it more manual and learn the exposure basics before committing to an actual camera. Used ones can be had pretty cheap if you decide to pursue further. This can be a rabbit hole hobby costing thousands but doesn’t have to be.
