Well, the car shortage is certainly not over.

Drove the HR-V, and liked it more than I thought I would. However, they tell me there is a chip shortage so they are not including blind spot monitoring in anything under 40k right now....Which is a really nice feature. The salesman seemed as bummed about it as me. Probably more, it probably kills sales!

I noticed Mazda was omitting a lot of features on certain cars too, and now I know why. Supply chain shortages.

It's not just the chip shortage — other supply chain disruptions are wreaking havoc on automakers and helping keep prices high

Despite huge profits, high demand, and low inventory, automakers are bracing themselves for more supply disruptions that could impact car buyers.

Good to be home. Only souvenir I bought was a stuffed alligator for my kid.

Glad to have flower to smoke again. Carts only do so much for me

Finally did my taxes today. The report turbotax generated at the end was way less robust than years previous. And also slightly more expensive. I guess that's the motto these days. Less for more. But now it's done and I'm compliant. Morning. Afternoon. Holy shit almost evening.

My taxes cost me the average price of 10 black market pairs of eyeballs. They take, and they take o_O

Be careful though. Some of the newer ones are gutless. My mother bought a new one a few years ago, and it would take a good second before it would even go after you put the pedal down. It's a delay in the turbo to spool up o͏r͏ whatever. She took it back and they said it was normal. So she traded it for a V6 Accord.

I drove an CR-V last year and didn't like it. It handled like a station wagon I thought. And I really don't need that much room.

Just downed a big pile of Golden Teachers ....Soooo nasty, even with honey. Maybe tea next time....If I survive :eyesmoke:

I've only ever taken Blue Ringers since they grow wild in the Seattle area. We'd make shroom tea with mint tea. Mint tea helps mask the taste a little. Eating them raw is nasty, lol.
