That's the way of the forum world, people come, people go, people come back. At least nobody gets banned anymore.

ran some last minute errands today, traffic and huge lines a plenty...

I saw a lot of people rushing about while I was out walking the dogs this morning. Either rushing to do last minute shopping, or heading out on holidays. It's easy to tell the difference, the last minute shoppers are often speeding and look generally stressed, and they're being held up by the others in fully loaded SUVs or utes that are often towing a boat or caravan, and driving well under the speed limit. Very happy I've got everything done, I'm sitting with my dogs eating lunch, watching an old episode of top gear, and tomorrow I only have to go 3 minutes to my nephew's house for Christmas lunch.

Groceries were the big change for my girlfriend. She has always disliked grocery shopping. Now she orders them online and just does pickup.

See, I actually liked doing the groceries pre-Covid, then it became a massive anxiety trip and something I dreaded doing. The whole thing was compounded by the shopping strip and supermarket closest to me being a cesspit of tweaked up druggies and the streets used as a public connivence, nearly every visit there was something nasty going on out front. I always felt like I needed a shower each time I would return from there. Now, I order what I need on a Sunday night in comfort (and safety) and its delivered the next day, free of charge.

Where I lived in Sydney, the local shopping strip was used as a filming location "Housos". I won't put a link up as there is a fair amount of swearing in most of the videos out there and it is really bad tv, but it has a following. It wasn't as bad as portrayed in the show, but there were days it was close. If anyone wants to search, use :

Housos "reality"!

But you have been warned.

While I had the FJ in the garage to do the wheels, I checked all the pressures, all around 32psi, so I bumped them all up to 35psi. While I was doing that I decided to adjust my rear shocks, changed them to their softest setting. All done by turning a little knob on the bottom of the shock, there's about 20 different settings, I had them about midway, I want to see if I can feel the difference, even though I bumped the tyre pressures up.

I took the underside shot while under there, just a few bumps and scrapes, even though it's all tucked up pretty good. Saw a story on YouTube recently where a guy in Canada with a Hyundai Ioniq 5 ran over some debris on a highway, left a scrape on the battery protection cover, he took it in to get checked out, they looked at it and told him he needs a new battery, apparently if the cover takes a hit, the battery is compromised, so has to be replaced, and that will be $60,000 please. I think I might stick with my FJ for a while longer.

That $60K story is crazy, more than the car itself

Heres the original one, and they now have a second video about another one that's happened.

$60,000 to replace battery. The battery costs more than a brand new car! - YouTube
