Well, this weekend I took a hazardous trip to get my new car and bring Indie home.
Sunday, after totaling my jeep, I got home to find Indie in hypothermic shock. All of MY birds were fine, thankfully. I brought him in and warmed him up in increments overnight, but he couldn't go back out into the cold, and couldn't stay here if it was going to be cold, so I made the decision to bring him back to his home early. GRACIOUSLY, his actual owners said if I brought the hens I would have bred him to down, they'd do the breeding for me.
Thursday I rented a mid-size SUV. There was only one available whose trunk space laid flat, and when I went to leave with it, they sent me back and gave me a newly-arrived return, some Mazda that was an absolute NIGHTMARE of a car. I drove it home, packed for the weekend, and prepped the trunk space for Birds.
Friday morning, I was up at 5am taking care of some stuff and making sure I was awake enough to drive. I ousted Sark from bed around 7 and he helped me load Arcana, Eclipse, and Indie into the back of the car, and Aris and her two babies into the barn with Polaris. I set off for North Carolina, but with a MASSIVE snowstorm moving in over West Virginia, and snowstorms having plagued the north east, I would be taking an extended trip down- from Detroit area to Knoxville, TN, before going over to NC.
Almost 17 hours later, I got to Indie's home. We left the birds to sleep in the car since they were already cuddled up, and I went inside for a 5 hours nap.
Then it was up again, moving birds into their coop, and I was back on the road another hour to return my rental, an hour to get to my mom and dad's, a brief break there to hang out, and then!! an hour to the dealership to pick up my new Jeep. I had my previous one for 19 years, 300k miles on him, so this is... going to be an adjustment, but it seems like he will be fine. I have named him Sheet Cake. He is white outside, and tan inside, absolutely terrible colors, and smushed flat compared to my Liberty.
Went back to my parents' for the night, played Pokemon GO with the for a while (anyone wanna be my mom's friend? she needs more people for a quest), and zonked out around 9pm. And BACK UP around 7, so I could make the 12 hours drive back home yesterday. MUCH more pleasant ride, in the Jeep than it was in the Mazda. The lack of birds wasn't terrible, either.
Bug was ECSTATIC to see me, she got left behind with Sark. I snuck away like a thief in the night, so she woke up and I was just Gone. When I walked in the door she froze and stared at me for a long second and then lost her shit, throwing herself up on stuff and doing the excited flappy-wing duck down. I sat her up on her perch and she beeped and beeped and beeped as I gently scrubbed her face and neck. It's not like she has a hard life when I'm gone, Sark is here to hang out with, he gives her fresh food meals just like I do, he cuddles just like I do, but it's just not the Same.
Anyway, it's good to be home.
And now that I have a white Jeep... it's time to find some Jurassic Park decals for him.

Can products go back to having exposed hardware? Exposed screws or bolt heads? Even just intentionally designed tabs to make removal of plastic shells easier.
I want products to be serviceable again.
I've been working on my car, 1988 Toyota Celica GT-Four, since I'm on winter break and every time I need to chase down wiring or search for something under a panel, all I have to do is undo a few screws, or a 10mm bolt and I can pop off any interior or exterior panel and just repair or replace things.
I really hope that the next decade or so brings a lot of Right to Repair stuff into the product design so people can do their own work and not have to consume an endless amount of products just because some people want a number to go up.

Sadly this is the last drive in my Honda for a little while :(
Unfortunately it needs a lot of work doing before it can pass an MOT, mainly car frame rust needs patching up and needs a new clutch putting in cause this 1 is slipping a lot now (don’t think clutch has ever been replaced so not bad for lasting 96k miles and the past 2 years of absolute abuse lol). Hopefully I’ll be able to save some money and bring my Honda back to its full glory but sadly it might be a while as I’ve had a few changes in my personal life and I’ve got to prioritise more important things.
However on the good side I’ve put on a new cat less exhaust system few months ago and it is soo good! The sound is amazing (especially when vtec kicks in yo) and can definitely feel a difference in acceleration even tho it’s not the fastest thing around lol
Peace all ✌️

Yep, I’m definitely over winter already, and I know it’s not likely even close to finished. I dug my roommates’ truck out yesterday. My car is next, if I can lift the shovel today.
