Naturally. They're primarily for hanging clothes.

It wouldn't surprise me if HVAC has gone up astronomically like everything else.
I just ordered more water filters for our fridge. 6 months ago they were $45. Now they are $65. Like, did the cost of sediment and charcoal really go up $20 in the last 6 months?

In my case, so I have any desire at all to get on the trainer, rather than seeing it as a chore that I'd rather do anything else besides.

Our new HV system was build with adding AC in mind but I don't know how much it would be to add the unit. Plus it would be on the front of the house, so we'd have to pay for at least a shrubbery to hide it.

And, some are no longer in production. The price quoted was not all that inconsistent with the lower grade unit we put upstairs two years ago. It's more, but we are getting more.

Every house here is and has been built with AC as standard equipment for at least as long as I've been here (40 years). Living with no AC in this area is just not reasonable.

No, it’s something that all of my Garmin have done from time to time. My wife uses Garmins also and over the years, we’ve had 305s (several), 500s, 800s, 810s, 830s, 1000s, and 1030s. They’ve all done it occasionally. When I’ve called, they blame Apple which I guess is possible. Anyway, Garmin’s answer is always a hard reset and a fairly complicated set of instructions to unpair and repair. It involves a zillion steps because both Apple and Garmin do not want to simply unpair but want to leave pieces of themselves inside of the software of the iPhone and the unit that screws everything up. Right now, I just let it upload When my 1030 comes in range of my house WiFi.

Newbie
I rode the Roubaix for the first time in many months today. It really is a sweet ride and in some ways even better than the Habanero. It is running an Ultegra 6700 drivetrain which is getting a little long in the tooth.
Since it has internal cables, I am considering updating it to a Di2 drivetrain, but I need some input from the Di-2 aware.
Since it is set up for 10 speed, I would prefer to get 10 speed Di2 (ie Ultegra 6770) so I can keep the rear wheel and cassettes the same. I know I would need a battery, FD/RD/Shifters/Junction box(es) and wiring. How much sense does it make to get gently used 10 speed gear from ScamBay vs. bite the bullet and get current generation Ultegra 11 speed??
Remember I am on a budget, so cost savings are a big driver of the decision.
Thoughts?

Comments a few aspects of replies I've seen. You can use an MTB cassette and just update the cassette while keeping the rest of everything. External wiring on the Habanero need not be messy (I'm the owner of Habanero), you can readily heat shrink the wiring and run through the external cable guides just as if you were running cables themselves only there would only a single cable down to the bottom bracket. The external battery which houses the BN110 in a little cylinder which mounts underneath the downtube water bottle works perfectly. We have all the bits and pieces for it btw.

no but the cost of hiring a shipping container has gone up a lot.
