I need something 3 or 4 wheeled, unfortunately - the stuff I'm delivering for Amazon is packed up like this:



Doesn't really lend itself to being loaded on a hand truck, especially since some of the bags may have stuff like produce. I have absolutely no idea what's in the bags, unless it's an insulated bag. The insulated bags have a sealed paper bag inside them - with a block or two of dry ice if there's frozen stuff. I don't get a packing slip or anything, just a slip of paper that shows the suggested order that I drop everything off in and how many bags are in each order.

It does look like Magna Cart has something that might work though.

Hmm. Maybe Magna Cart plus some milk crates for stacking?

Getting that other cart thing might be a better solution, though.

Could not have asked for better apart from being slowed by cars. The feeling when you are belting along at 50+kph, you are passing cars and the passengers are giving you WTF how the hell can a bicycle go so fast???? looks. Even had a good chat to some old lady who was dumbfounded I was pacing the car she was in at 55kph. The whole diet thing is starting to click into place now as well - I had a lot of problems getting used to the much lower carb levels so I would feel destroyed after a good ride for a couple of week. No problem today. TBH the diet changes also improved my general mood. So much less joint pain, I'm feeling better about things...... why on earth didnt I do this sooner(*)?

Went car-shopping to replace my wife's Civic just before the new year - snagged a ridiculous deal on a Leaf for her which she's been enjoying a lot since. I gotta say, the immediate response, the quietness, the smoothness - I swear EVs are going to be the future of luxury at the very least (since you can afford to take the Tesla approach and just shove more batteries in).

That said, we looked at the new 2016 Civic - she's been driving Civics for 10+ years now so it made sense to check them out.


Why the gently caress is it so big? Why does Honda think they need two mid-sized sedans? Am I taking crazy pills?

Yeah roads in Florida basically suck but that's fine. This is more of a cruise down, visit for a few days then drive back trip. Dad and I have been trying to make a Sebring race for a while and haven't had open schedules yet...one of these years.

Nice short day at work today. Site is adding even more power for the next gen systems coming in a couple years so we shut everything down at 6, did some maintenance then got the hell out of there. lovely part is we'll probably get power back around noon Sunday and will be stuck there late into the night getting things powered back up.

Off to the garage for birthday squats (age reps x bodyweight all one set) because I don't feel like walking

I admittedly am not current at all on the Honda line up but if I was only shown this photo and someone told me it was a Civic and NOT an Accord I would tell them they were full of crap. Every generation of Car X gets fatter. This is because consumers are stupid. When asked what they would want improved on their current car they say things like "I wish it had a bigger trunk, and more room in the back seat". Rather than telling them "Then you bought the wrong car you rear end clown, let me introduce you to a Camry/Accord/5 series" they take a great proportioned car for a given market segment and turn it into a fatty. The title of my E36 M3 is rated as a "Sub-Compact" for craps sake. The current 3 series is so huge it dwarfs a mid 90's 5 series.

Maybe it's a price thing too? Sure an accord or mid sized car would have been a better fit but they could only afford the civic. I'm probably grasping at straws though since that doesn't usually stop people from buying things that they can't afford.
