LOL!
We had no trouble booking an appointment nearby. Easy, we were the only ones there. Got the Moderna flavor. Second one in three weeks. No reactions so far, not even a sore arm.
Funny, we had heard that if a younger person brought you to the vaccination site they’d give him the shot too. Nope! Not in NY. The pharmacy sites aren’t allowed to do that. We would have had to go to the state university site where my barely mobile wife would have had to walk long distances and up stairs. That wasn’t happening so the kid made his own appointment for tomorrow. Evidently his Uber work puts him in the essential category. Screwy.

CIA won't care unless you leave the country. However, DHS, FBI, and NSA are watching your every move.
was a situation where I was just pointed to a section and told to take anything we wanted. This one looked nice, and when I got it, it was brand new miles. 10 maybe? low enough that it had to have just been brought straight over to the rental garage and not rented yet.

I can relate to the license plate frame:
I like this generation of the Supra:
I'll get over "the deal," especially after I remembered post-deal the fed tax credit coming my way in '22.
Went to get traditional Friday night pizza, put my iphone on the wireless charger. Got to restaurant, turned off car, opened driver door and a female voice reminded me that my phone was still in the car. That was cool. I think I"ve figured out how to use the radio. Oh, for the simplicity of the Jag.

We all went over to the mall last night the S60 sunroof and windows open it was nice. That car is just the right size for 2 adults and 2 smaller kids.
I have become totally spoiled by a garage, washed both cars last weekend and they are still both spotless ... oh and while I’m on all kinds of tangents. I bought the $15 Harbor Freight foam gun on a whim and it works great. I will never wash a car without one again. If it breaks I’ll buy a good one.

But, my son scheduled at Walgreens. And, the dates were four weeks apart, so he was expecting Moderna. But, he got Pfizer. My theory is they had Moderna previously, and the scheduling system couldn't handle rescheduling to three weeks out, once the next batch was Pfizer.
Seems doubtful that it will make a lot of difference, in the long run.

I got a foam gun for Christmas. Have not tried it out yet. Will do that soon. Means I have to dig out the power washer and hope it has the right connections, since it runs off of that. At least I already have one of those.

After giving the dealer a scorching review when Costco asked how the visit went, they’ve been trying to reach me. Don’t know what they’re expecting me to tell them that I haven’t already told them.
Didn’t really matter, as it seems everyone around here is getting the vaccines, now. That’s a good thing!

House sale has been pretty wild, too - market is crazier than I expected.
More A7/Jag observations:
Jag definitely takes the steering feel and handling award; ride is equal between the two imo. Ergonomic goof in the A7, steering wheel obscures turn signal indicators on the dash, unless I raise the wheel a little too far up for comfort. But, not a biggie.
Interesting earlier, i depleted the battery while driving. Parked the car for a couple of hours, when I started it, 4 miles of juice. I wouldn't think regen braking would juice the battery like that? Or the OBC recalibrated after I shut her down? Any theories/experience from the Volt folks (or other PHEV experience)? And, I got the 4 miles, but have run the rest of the day on dead dinosaurs. Used 1/8 tank so far. Now charging in the garage.
It goes without saying, so I'll say it, the Audi MMI system is well superior to the Jag. The graphics on all three large screens are just beautiful. The headlights, especially on high beams, are nuclear. But, the lady giving me nav directions has to quiet down a bit; I've gone through every menu, no luck with that. In the Jag, it was an easy specific setting.
And, still prefer the hockey puck, but getting used to the e-shifter.
I've named her Battlestar Galactica.

I can only adjust the nav speaking level while it is actually speaking using the radio volume knob.
