Day: April 16, 2026

Got some rain last night, but then I am going to be riding my mountain bike to work in the fog. I did the bus thing yesterday, the Navigator App Pay thing worked fine, but who wants to pay and ride a slow, yokel local bus to work. But you could take your SuperDuty to work. But that sucks too, even if the Drive Safe and Save app keeps reminding me to turn off battery save to record all my trips I’m not making in the F-350.

I haven’t looked at gas prices lately, ⛽ but I put fuel in the SuperDuty on Sunday for the first time, not that much fuel though, as I haven’t driven much but I figured with gas prices only going up, it’s best to fill the tank on the big-block up.  I probably should be very afraid, but I don’t honestly care that much 🤷‍♂️ as a SuperDuty isn’t a commuter vehicle. Instead, I am riding my mountain bike to work today. No bus fare 💰 for that, so more money on said SuperDuty. I am glad the market is recovering, I heard it was something like 7,200 on S&P 500 yesterday, smashing through that old number, 📈 got to pay for that SuperDuty on paper, though I think the markets need to grow another 2% to have truck fully paid for though individual investments don’t necessarily track that big number. I need to feel less guilty 😳 about said SuperDuty as I drive through more hick towns that smell like the world of cows. 🐮

I’ve been studying spray-in bedliners, 🛻  and I am leaning towards a Patriot Liner fro  ADK Off Road, assuming they can get me in before the end of May. Seems like the product most similiar to the Bullet Liner I have in my old truck. I want something durable, that gives me some more insulation and grip over the stock truck bed. I may call when I get into work. I’m making peace ☮️ with yet another cost in building my new rig, but it needs to get done before the cap is installed in late May.

Well, I have a bunch of work to do, 🚿 and my stomach is full of Apple pancakes 🥞 so it’s probably best to get in the shower and then ride to work. Then get working on regex’ing those emails so the correspondence dep’t can use the data, dealing with broken user accounts, and making lists of lists (LOL!). 🐦 Charged up my bike light so after work again I can go out to Five Rivers. I was stuck in the office 🏢 late last night catching up on work, but I was able to spend maybe an hour out there. Tonight I have a Save the Pine Bush Zoom Meeting, which I can probably do from Five Rivers.
