I think I’m going to go with Quick Jack for my now height-restricted garage build. I will only have 9 feet of clearance so I needed a system that will lift a truck ,car or our 3 motorcycles. This stores away on wall mounts and can do all 3 offering 24 inches of lift and is pretty modular for …
Good weekend but still way too many things in the air to relax. One day at a time. It’s almost June which is good. Gotta blog more.
Really deserves its own blog post but hey, if anyone is reading. BMW Z4 M40i versus M440i? I’d love to hear some feedback. Same engine, both convertibles, one comes in manual. Similar prices.
Solidified the car I want today. Settled on the Z4. Going to order in 6-9 months. Enjoyed the M440i but no manual. And M2 doesn’t have a convertible option.
Summer finally started. Even though it’s cold out
21 straight days of rain. Screw it, I’m going riding. 39F and rain. Sigh. Memorial Day ?
I’ve been town between a BMW Z4 or a Porsche 718 GTS 4.0 but if I went the Porsche option, I’d have to wait and save another 2 years but Porsche announced today the 718 is now end of production in October so that has saved me some anguish.
I put together a blog post about some career news - adamchandler.me/blog/2025… Moonlighting at the moment but I’m really excited to take this one.
Nice! A Model Y hauling a Honda CRF MX Motorcycle
Humanity has failed itself with the Internet. I am trying to find pricing for a local auto detailer. It’s only available on their Instagram and I have to create an account to see it. They don’t want phone calls. Messenger only and Venmo for payments. A business backed by Internet Silos.
I do have one iPad Mini Pro 7 complaint - charging speed. It’s capped at 20 watts so 2.5 hours to charge to full. It’s 90 minutes for an iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro M4 charges at about 40 watts so still about 2 hours. The mini, if it could do 30-40 watt charging would have been nice …
Day 3 of 4 in the bag. I’m preparing for day 4 now.
Day 3 of 4. Haven’t lost my voice yet despite talking from 8:30-6 for 2 days.
Hello from Burlington MA. I’m here for 4 days teaching a course. Going to be some long days.
Power is back on. Enjoying a beer from Asheville which raised funds for the hurricane they experienced last year.
Transformer blew. Time for a beer while we wait for the power company to fix it. That was an amazing storm. Lightning over the lake.
14 mile bicycle ride to the playground and a coffee.
Winter to summer wheel swap complete.
Happy Saturday. Baby ate 1.5 eggs, 1 pack of oatmeal and 4 strawberries. 19 months old in a couple of days. Time to load up on the bicycle and ride into town for coffee.
Busy friday but really successful. Obviously still working at the moment but I went kayaking at 5AM, did a 2 mile run at 8AM, worked the morning from a cafe, got gas, showered and prepped my neighbor’s motorcycle for photos so we can sell it. Few more meetings until the weekend starts.
I wrote some things about the iPad Mini as an iPad Pro 13" owner: adamchandler.me/blog/2025…
Afternoon Cortado to get some words out.
I need to blog about this iPad mini. I waited way too long to purchase one.
After work kayaking.
A day in to the iPad Mini (A17 Pro) and I kind of love it. This device may cause me to go back to a smaller iPhone. It sits perfectly between an iPhone Pro and my iPad Pro 13" I’d love a Mini Pro with an M3 or M4 chip because it’s noticeably slower than my M4 iPad.
