Wife and I were at a promotional event, and got some hot laps with a pro driver in a Panamera Turbo S (the biggest dawg). Dayum!

The turn-off for the Mini is not so much its range (as above all my trips are 20 miles or less), but the cargo space. The bike belongs INSIDE the car. Maybe the Leaf or Bolt have better cargo space.

In the lake effect area, (city and south) they are getting lots of snow. Up here in the northtowns we only have a couple inches at the moment. Expected to get ~8 more through Saturday.

Mrs. GJ did this one in the middle of the night and when I got up she was feeling proud she'd gotten it. (Rango wanted to go sleep in the Living Room and insists on having company. She keeps humoring him, so he keeps doing it)

I'm getting back into Zwifting. Last night I rode in "London", and did a route with Leith Hill. It's about an 8-10 minute climb, average of 6.8%, so it's like 1/3 of Old La Honda. Seems like I'm in pretty good shape, climbing-wise, for someone my weight.
Speaking of weight, having now been stably in the 200-205 range for almost 2 years, I'm cogitatin' on trying to get down to the 190 range. That would require calorie counting again, but it would also make climbing easier. Supposedly, for my height, I'm "overweight" anywhere above 185. But I feel like 185 on me would be gaunt!

I'm a stable 200 guy, don't like my appearance at anything less than that. I'm 6' 3 nowadays.

I got close to 250 in high school with lifting weights 10 hours per week. Starved to 175 when I was 18-19 and got fat up to nearly 260 in my 20s.
Felt pretty good at 220 for a long time.
