Dub, I join in wishing you an unexciting day.
I'm back in Phoenix. Being in the mountains at dawn and watching the world below light up is something I highly recommend.

Heading over for a cardiac catheterization/coronary angioplasty this morning, so there’s that. Neither we nor the doc expect anything exciting. I'll hope for nothing exciting. Be well, Mark. |

Actually overcast this morning. Temps don't look bad till mid afternoon. Playing golf @ 9:00 Sun came out earlier. A hot day. But bearable. Shot my usual 97. Some great shots. But more mediocre-to-bad to balance out the round. Best to you Mark Clark. |

Back home and all is well… or at least not too awful bad. Meeting with the doc next week.

I played wordle differently today. My first guess netted two correct letters in the wrong position. Normally I'd try to find words with those letters, but I decided that the two letters were two letters that gave the least amount of information possible, so I tried a new word with 5 completely different letters. I still got it in 4 which is probably no worse that I would have done the other way, and possible better.

The only difference is that you can't do what you did today. Your guesses have to include all the letters that have turned up, green or yellow, or Wordle won't accept the guess. I don't think it often makes a difference in the outcome. |

www.daltonpikemotorsllc.com/product-page/1996-toyota-townace-2wd-48k-mile-factory-rhd-usa-right-hand-drive-postal-povI don't know. The Liberty is toast. Transmission would have to be rebuilt. $3500. That's money more wisely spent to replace. A coworker has a Wrangler (right hand drive). 2008 with 180,000 miles on it. Cracked windshield, just got it back from the shop fixing a computer glitch not allowing a cylinder or two to fire (supposedly fixed now but curiously I've been warned that this is a thing), all the ball joints will have to be replaced $600, and already 3-5 years in postal service. On the plus side it has new tires and a box of new brake pads.

I took a peek at Duncan imports and they had several 1998-2000 Honda CRVs with around 50,000 miles on them for 14-16,000. The 25 years part isn't good, but the 50,000 miles part is wonderful. Those were good models, and if they are free from rust, they should have a lot of miles left. Key is free from rust (poke around the rocker panels and make sure they aren't painted duct tape)

The dealer is in Christiansburg, VA. You could send Aqua on a scouting trip!

Loved our 1999 CRV all wheel drive. Sold it with 200K miles on it and it was running great.
