Thank you for the Christmas and New Year good wishes. I'll say it. I could use a wish coming through that would keep me from breaking out the Famotidine: some primary wins for Nikki Haley. I didn't know much about her until a few months ago. I assumed she was of mixed white, Hispanic, and/or Native American ancestry, not that it matters. She is also a Clemson accounting grad. One or two of the others bowing out could pave her way. This at least could prevent that one undesirable outcome. We could all use more peace and tranquility in 2024.

Nautilus equipment isn't as ubiquitous as it used to be, but I remember it as the brand most likely to be at the fitness centers I first belonged to. It's still around as mostly Nautilus Nitro, and is also good. There are some brands I can't stand such as Cybex and Hammerstrength. They just don't feel right. Whether good or bad, I never took to free weights. The likelihood of injury can be higher, IMO. Resistance equipment sort of keeps your range of movements in check. I need to return to going regularly but resistance circuit + elliptical + treadmill kept me in shape and gave me good medical lab work numbers.

Wishing Everyone a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy 2024 New Year!!!

Yeah, they ran the 2.0T for a few years, 2017 - 2022, it had 275hp instead of the 335 of the V6

Gym is filled with Nautilus equipment and free weights, looks out over First Ave and Jackson street.

FYI: GM Says It's Ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Your Safety (motortrend.com) If you're going to lie, at least try to be halfway convincing, In my experience, Carplay is extremely reliable. I've used it in multiple vehicles (rentals, my trailblazer SS, Escalade which have 3rd party head units), and have experienced literally no issues. If there are issues using it in GM vehicles, ISTM that is on GM and is a massive self-own. They just admitted they want to develop the entire software stack themselves and, at the same time, have said they're not even competent enough to produce a reliable CarPlay/Android Auto interface when most of the work has already been done for them. End result is that GM could have seen the last of my money based on other OEMs that continue to support Android Auto / Apple CarPlay. Very cool read.
