6:30 rise to squeeze in breakfast at LGC with all four of us. Tommy's impulsive nudging and prodding of Lauren remind me of my older brother's legacy habits. Sigh. He went to work while we ran a few errands. I picked up a pair of Homepods after they lingered on Craigslist for several weeks. The sound quality is quite an improvement over the minis, which will get moved and repurposed elsewhere in the house. We played cards until Lauren had to return to Sacramento. Tommy picked up the Rivian. It's pretty awesome, a big upgrade from the Tesla in the realms of design and luxury feel. And it's already gotten its first booking. Jen and I are committed to sticking with one car through April, a 6+ week trial to see how it works out before we replace the BMW. I got word today from the place in Sacramento that took the PT cruiser. Apparently, there was engine and gasket damage. He said it was a wise decision not to pursue repairs after all. I guess it won't end up with another driver, but at least all the parts will likely be repurposed, given how pristine most of them are for this particular model. It also makes me grateful that the issue we had with the BMW didn't result in similar engine or gasket damage. Things worked out in the end. Even when they don't, they do.
