  • Been working on a kitchen renovation, bit by bit. Floors, cabinets, counter… Basically everything except for appliances and general layout. The last big step was the tile backsplash, and my friend helped me with caulking it this past weekend (she said she has a pretty good touch with that, and I know I probably don’t). Turned out pretty good!

    Normally my dad would help me with stuff like that, but he lives a few states away. He knows I’ve been working on it, but hasn’t seen any progress pictures in a long time. It’ll be fun to show him when my parents come to visit this week!

    Down to some trim work (floor, cabinet toe kicks) and a few other odds and ends!






  • Ironically, the Chevy Bolt was a perfect car for that. Reasonably priced, no stupid gizmos like retracting door handles, Android Auto, actual buttons for controls… But of course GM killed it. A new version should come out eventually, but who knows if it’ll keep the spirit of their old Bolts. For now, the used market hit the sweet spot where it’s still a pretty modern car, but it’s gone through most of its depreciation from new so it’s pretty cheap. Especially with the tax credit.

    Full disclosure: DC fast charging sucks on this car. On some pre-2022 models it’s non-existent. But it’s still excellent for commuting and medium-short trips!
