I wish there was as much live TV coverage of a rally race here on the west coast as some east coast hockey game nobody in PHX cares about. Maybe it'll hit youtubes in a couple days...

This year, the year we tore out all the crappy overgrowth in the back yard and laid down a thick layer of mulch, was also a year of a phenomenal acorn drop from our two Live Oaks. The squirrels seem to have buried most of them. Now, every time I patrol the mulch, I usually pull a dozen or more oak seedlings, often with acorn still attached. From mighty acorns little oaks grow.
Remember, an oak tree is just an acorn's way of making more acorns.

We'll be at a base of $50/month for three lines plus data at $10/gb. We rarely go over 2gb, usually only when traveling down to VA. Otherwise, we're often under 1gb, so we should be in the $60 + tax region. If the boy turns out to be a data hog, we could always go unlimited for $90 (or we could throttle his data once he goes over a certain amount - that, the tracking, content restrictions, etc were some selling points as we navigate this phone for our kid territory).
Just wait till your two are teens.

I was looking on Facebook Marketplace, and I saw an entry for "Road bike tires with rims". Something caught my eye, which was the QR acorn nut, which looked like the very distinctive Dura Ace EX version, which has 6 fins. The seller says they're both front wheels, but one of them is definitely a rear, for a freewheel. Not sure whether they're clinchers or tubs, but at the price ($50 the pair), I'll take a risk. If they're the latter, well, I'll just learn how to glue tubulars. I'm going to check them out tomorrow.

Update:
Got this today to mow the lawns. Getting rid of my 10 year old Honda/Briggs & Stratton that weighed 96 pounds with a full tank of gas. this one is Acme level quality and 56 pounds fully dressed.
I guess going to a lightweight, battery powered lawn mower is a sign I'm starting to get old.

Back to phones, teens and limited data in the 2020s just don’t work well together.

What a fantastic idea. We are doing similar with a wedding budget right now. The little CPA has all sorts of spreadsheets with budget variables. We told her, “Here is what we will spend. You figure it out “. If we don’t do that, we’ll end up spending double.
