So he did.
Then she saw the place. Apparently the renters, a couple, have a ....tempestuous relationship, and the bedroom door was broken badly enough to need replacing, along with sufficient other damage beyond simple wear-and-tear to completely eat up the security deposit and then some. It took her long enough to get the place in shape to rent again that they also lost a month's rent on top of that.
So, if you're going to rent out a place, make sure whoever deals with the tenant isn't a sucker. Her stories definitely cured me of wanting to be a landlord.

While we slept, our lawn guy came and plowed our driveway.
I did a fake group ride on Zwift. It was ok. It was actually a fairly easy pace for me, except for the six times my signal dropped and I had to dial it up to 400w for 10s to get back with the group.
It is interesting to see the power zone colors on the bottom of my screen. Almost always in blue (Z2) but with some occasional greens and yellows, and a UGE red spike when I get dropped and power back.
I consider it a 21st century fartlek ride.

Lesson learned. Make sure the music is set up, or do without. Riding in a group of 20, the draft effect on Zwift seems to work much better than a group of 4-8. I'd had to rush getting set up - HVAC guys here again and I couldn't start getting ready to ride till 20 minutes before the start. I had almost no warmup and had to do my spindown calibration while sitting in the start pen, with 2 minutes to go.

I've never tried to go vegetarian or vegan, but it seems to me if your meals are still built around a meat substitute, you may not really be ready to go full vege. There was a really nice vegetarian restaurant in Ithaca - no, not the one with the cookbooks - where the meals were great and NOT built around any kind of "It's just like meat!" substances, but all really nicely balanced for nutrients. I could live on their cashew chile and cornbread, with no TVP or similar.

But I was suddenly inspired to, ahem, be nice and not say that.

It stopped snowing here, for now. I cleared the additional three-or-so inches of snow from the driveway with my trusty shovel, in honor of DougRNS . Get well soon.

No.
According to your average speed, it was not very quick.
Oh? How many more years until I will be ready?

Have you eaten fake bacon?
TBD
I watched the segment. Several times it was suggestive of China = bad, without actually spelling out what the bad was for someone who only gets medical treatments the normal way (via a doctor). I guess if you're the kind of person who might order mystery pills from China it could be a different story.

Do you really trust a nation that kills its own citizens to be the gatekeeper for your RA meds?
And I’m not anti Chinese, my step mom and step sister are both from China and my dad lived there a number of years. I don’t trust CCP with that data. Period.

So, Pops is being discharged today. I received bad intel yesterday. They only did one stent. On his "main artery" which was occluded by a large blood clot. They removed that and installed a large stent to keep it clear. Apparently they are unable to find the other bypasses from inside the arteries.
