Shrimp run, Late one
Last night I made an unplanned run to Costco. I needed frozen shrimp, something that for some reason Publix does not appear to sell, at least the one closest to me. As is usual I loaded up Elsa into the Tacoma for the ride. She loves sleeping on the two dog beds I have in the back of the cab. It was after 7:30 by the time I got there so it meant the store was less stuffed with human beings than normal, something I appreciate. As is always the case I spotted other things I could use while there and threw them in the cart.
I was hoping to be able to sell the Veteran Patton I bought from Jason just by mentioning it in a couple of my videos. I was able to sell his V10F in that manner. However I am still in possession of the wheel so I posted it in the online for sale forum with a handful of pictures and stats on the wheel. I don’t have a ton of flexibility on the pricing unless I want to lose money on the transaction. Hopefully I can get a legit buyer soon. I don’t really need a spare wheel sitting around the house.
After the completed sale of my Sherman S I could easily pull the trigger on buying a Sherman L but I instead have those funds sitting in my savings account. For whatever reason I am not feeling much urgency to add another wheel to my fleet of wheels that are already under utilized. My brain hasn’t been in a super happy place lately, maybe that’s partially why I am not excited about the idea of buying one. There are some satellite issues that sort have dampened my enthusiasm somewhat.
I received confirmation that I will have not one but two new mobility devices to review shortly. The first one is an Inmotion E20. It is a unique dual tire EUC designed for beginners. It’s configuration makes balancing left and right significantly easier and it’s low price makes it a good way to potentially get somebody interested in the hobby.
The second device is a set of Moonwalkers. These are devices you strap to your shoes like roller skates. They are like having a permanent moving sidewalk under you. As you walk the wheels engage to move you at the speed of a run. I am very curious how these will feel. Unlike the E20, I don’t get to keep these skates when I am done, they have to be sent back.
There is a new tropical storm forecast to swing into the gulf within the next couple days. It’s pathing looks far enough away from us to be primarily just a rain maker but you never know. The only good thing about it being this late in the year the storm is unlikely to become a monster.
