The Saturn is still chugging along. It will have its 26th birthday this summer.
I may need a new vehicle for next year. My suspicion is I will be driving my father’s minivan.
He has not driven it in 6 months, and turns 90 later this month. He seems to think he may still be able to drive, I am not so sure.

Has aged gracefully, but is still a 15 year old car that needs some attention. Driver seat cushion is collapsed a bit on the left side, needs tires on all 4 corners, and there’s a rattle that is coming from somewhere in the rear door. Could definitely use a shampooing inside but the interior is in great shape overall.
But it runs and drives great, and we’re very happy.

We have harriers who hang out at the baylands, sharing the space with walkers and joggers.
There's a raised levee with a path on top, where the wind blows off the water towards the levee and produces a steady up draft. The harriers hang in the air several feet above the levee, watching for edible critters. They don't seem to even notice the people walking/running by.
Here's a nice shot of a harrier in the Palo Alto baylands.

But no major dents or body panel damage.
I ran it through an automatic wash yesterday - need to take it to a manual place so I can scrub it a bit more and really see what I'm working with.

I like it and the body looks near perfect. Do I need a 50 year old truck? No but it could be a fun project. Been Jonesing to get something for a few years but can't really afford to start dumping money every month.
Last project I had was a 77 GMC but I sold it around 20 years ago. Had a/c and I put an overdrive transmission in it. Drove nice but sucked up the fuel.

I get to spend 7 hours traveling Sunday for work. One of the worst things about traveling out of Albany is the ridiculous layovers. Any time I fly anywhere it seems I need to spend 3 hours at LaGuardia.
on the bright side, I’ll be in sunny FL for 3.5 days. On the downside, there will be no cycling (but plenty of running).

Fortunately dodge ball is not an alternative here AFAIK, although I can't speak for the Adirondacks.

Short rant: I need to change the battery in my Garmin HRM and I found out it has T5 torx screws. When did they change that and who keeps a T5 just laying around?
