And some @nofx to wrap up the night. Really glad we all got to see them together. Thanks for the music, we’ll keep listening.

@miloochs and Felix watching @descendents put on an amazing hour. A joy to hear both kids singing along to most, including suburban home… …

If @deadmilkmenofficial is in town, I’m going to see them. Add the rest of my family and @handlebarchicago , and it’s bests all around!

Cleveland Museum of Art… Some are I liked, some art that reminded me of people and some @heavyslime art I brought with me.

Treating ourselves to some delicious vegan food.

New hat that I got hanging out with @tolar and proof of life. Still here doing things.

I might be too far to get a hoagie on the regular, but @wawa is gonna keep me warm this season.

A walk in the woods when the leaves start to turn.

Love to see @chemaskandal ’s work in the wild. Also, love the art and the message.

A quick birthday introduction to Philly, which, to me, apparently just means food and Quakerism (and some history thrown in, just without pictures). …

Baby’s last @handlebarchicago before heading off to school.

Nice day for a mid day back to back drive. The mk4 feels like driving a space marshmallow after the mk2. Pretty pleased with that driveway after a …

One of the mk2s and the mk4. Excited to drive the mk2 a bit more this summer. Also, got the summers on the mk4 and have been loving them.

Spring time school bus. Had to knock some dust, pollen and flowers off. After the requisite few minutes getting used to the slightly weird shifting, …

Electric car in nature. Family walk, one acting the fool, then looking like Winnie the Pooh. So thankful for this lovely weather.

Warm enough out to knock (some of) the salt off.

School bus this snowy morning. Slightly more lo-tech than the ID4.

It was unseasonably warm out, almost no traffic, blasting music, and @crowncustomschicago finished the summer wheels… Felt like spring… …

Dropped off some wheels @crowncustomschicago for the mk4 for next spring. Realized I probably should have put my snow tires on last night.

Sarah took the id4 this morning, so I took the kids to school in the trusty snowplow.

I’ve apparently gotten comfortable with range anxiety…
