Actually there are some seriously fit people here, I wish I could hike distances like Wingsprd or pedal for miles and miles
like Mostly, am really envious. And Larro would go on walkabouts.
Never did get outside much, spent time confirming details of my trip North, lots of emails, got everyone's contact info written down, probably enter addresses into gps tomorrow. then curled up in my favorite orthopedic recliner and read my book.
I've been thinking about how the Audi service people, much less their product people feel, after my multi-paragraph basically scathing description of the repeated dangerous failings of their AI cruise control in certain traffic conditions. I'm sure that went over well when they sent that upstairs.
This is all new tech and Audi is pretty liability sensitive, they haven't brought their best stuff over to this country yet due to our legal system.
So stating that a current system is stupid and unsafe to a bunch of German engineers isn't likely to get me on the Christmas card list.
But every word was true. In their quest to one up MB and BMW, I don't think they tested this enough in real world US conditions.
Maybe it works on the Autobahn. This is our future coming at us. But when you combine intrusive with stupid, well it's like a really bad houseguest. Give Audi full credit for being able to turn it off. Who knows, in another year, they may reflash my computer and put in a new version.
We are going to have to get our wheelchairs reclad in tractor design. :dance1:
Actually some of the powerchairs they have now are really cool, one guy drives one down a local road which
seems like a really bad idea. Golf cart with lights and reflectors would be a lot safer, if legal.

I first thought he had a Superman outfit under there.

I’m not old and worn, I’m previously enjoyed!
Made the trip to Elizabeth City andw3 had lunch with Joyce, took Gracie with us, such a well behaved dog. Got dad’s markers cleaned up and the tree planted, as it were.

Good evening all. 42F for the start, overcast, calm wind, trace of rain from Thursday. Overcast remained all day, light steady rain start early afternoon, Temps got up to 44F then have dropped to 41F. Had planned on inside work, have some software issues on computer, they are partially cleared up, but still can't install base camp on desktop . Also have some consulting to do.
Happy birthday Ed's Boy
Don, was my day slow enough?
Drew thanks for the compliment, but don't forget Don, he runs and walks as well.
As far as the geriatric daycare center, hey I resemble that remark!:confused2::ashamed:
RNG good to hear you got some sleep, hope your progress continues.
Randy be careful of what you eat!! Got rotavirus on a bike ride took close to a week to get over that :thumbdown:
Ron good news on ditching the sling :cool2:
prayers for all.

Good morning all, 22 going to 39 and partly sunny. plan to take it easy today and help the boy have a peaceful day if we can. He had a wonderful birthday and was wowed that so many of you guys wished him happy birthday. Thanks.
RNG, I was able to get an ozone gen. at the local rental place. It cleared out the musty smell from the storage unit.
Have a great day, prayers sent for each. Ed

22 here, too...going to 41.
Snow forecast here seems to be diminishing for tomorrow...but Buppies should get covered up.
300U, congrats on the new puppy...pics would be nice.
Bird, hope you're not sore today from your fall.
Split all my sweetgum and sassafras rounds and stacked yesterday while a bald eagle flew around above me.
