So in April i went over to the dark side. At the time i didn't need a diesel and after having a 440i previously wanted to try something different. Spent ages trying to find the best example and found this about 30 miles from home.

Mercedes C43 Premium Plus. Love the engine note (v6 bi-turbo) but the interior build quality is lacking. Seriously it creaks more than i do the morning after playing rugby!

After only four months, it's up for sale as annoyingly i need to go back to a diesel

Used to do a lot of riding with my wife and want to get both of us back into it, but the hilliness here along the coast is just too much for her. So, been looking at e-bikes for a while, but price for a fitness/road type has been high, like $2500+. And, obviously, need two so....

Discovered Velotric. It's one of a myriad of these "urban chic" bike companies that's popped up in the last few years and frankly I was skeptical, especially in the wake of the VanMoof bankruptcy. Turns out that the main H/W guy was also the main H/W guy for Lime scooters and they've borrowed very little money while still delivering product, so maybe they've got the cost/supply chain problems worked out, can make money at their price points, and not be a memory in five years when I need a new battery or motor. Reviews were strong and we test drove a T1ST at a local dealer. Very impressive build, decent components (proprietary rear hub motor), super smooth and balanced ride. Looks good, too; almost like an acoustic bike. Really, I'm not making that up, they call them acoustic.

Still, a little concerned about longevity of the company, so we were leaning toward the simpler T1ST that didn't have all of the App-driven tech. Came back from the test ride and fired up my browser take a look and see if I could find any red flags. Go to their site and holy-moly, they're having a flash sale on them. $999, from $1499 "list" price.

Could not resist and bought two of these - Velotric T1ST. One in this color (Lava!) and one in sand for my wife. Purchased Sunday, mine arrived Wed, hers Thu. Fed Ex from SoCal. I was shocked and pleased they came that quckly. (Velotric does seem to have their sh*t together, at the moment, anyway.) One big bike box. Just had to put on the front wheel, seat, pedals, headlight, kickstand, adjust the brakes/shifter (8-speed) and pump up the tires. Battery was already charged.

Can't wait for her to assemble hers and get out there.

New Bedroom decor. Specifically, Duvet cover, pillows, shams, etc.
I've also finally taken the many suggestions from friends and family to at least try Interior Design consulting on a very small scale. Thus far, I've Assisted about 6 Families or homes with everything from bedroom, family room, and kitchen design. I've made nearly $2,000 as a side hustle doing something I enjoy.

Don't have her in my possession yet. New windshield, tires, alignment and CPO certification before I take her home. Oh, and a wash.

I basically jumped on this the moment it rolled into the BMW shop, so they didn't get a chance to clean her.

Is there drainage so you can water (clean) the "grass"?

Is that a hose or are you going to wear that around your neck?

After 3-1/2 years of near daily use, my Polar OH1+ HRM bit the dust. I was thinking of upgrading to the latest model anyway, so this forced the issue. New Polar Verity Sense is on the way.

The water and everything will drain through. They use roadbase or something like that below it. I can blow it off with the blower, sweep it off, and it’s super easy to upkeep. And the rain, whenever that happens in Texas, lol, will keep it clean too.

I got the new HRM today and used the new USB charger on my old HRM and bigger-than-Stuttgart it worked. So my old HRM was not kaputt. It was just the USB charger that went bad. No biggie. Now I have two HRMs, which isn't a bad thing.
