Finally replaced the front and back sway bar bushings on my Element and suddenly there's a lot less suspension noise going on with my car. Still need to take it out under highway conditions, but starting to think it might be in better
shape than I originally thought.
🛴 I was sort of pessimistic about the impact of Hoopfest on Lime usage, but they've actually increased the scooter hub sizes near the shuttle parking in the University District. I was able to serve 10 at once, although I was initially dismayed to find a bus waiting there too.
⚽ Great win for the USWNT, but bummed out for a class French side that shouldn't have had to face the US before the semis at least.
⚽ France's energy looks way better this half, but they're starting to turn it over. Horan just subbed in for Lavelle. Now Megan Rapinoe just put away goal number two.
⚽ France vs. USA has been as exciting as I hoped in the first 19 minutes. Both sides are flying up the field on the attack. US leads 1-0 off a brilliant Rapinoe free kick, but it's going to take multiple goals to win this one.
📺🎙 Started watching the new Das Boot show on Hulu last night based on the TV Talk Machine podcast recommendation. It's a pretty compelling look at Nazi life at a U-Boat base (and underwater)- I've already watched the first couple episodes and will probably watch more tonight.
🛴 Discovered that Lime has removed all the hubs around GU's campus this morning. Not entirely surprised because there has been a ton of unsupervised underage usage during the team basketball camps this week. Unfortunate given all the hubs that are also out of service for Hoopfest.
I’m pretty sure my grandma (Granny Gilman) was doing emoji as far back as 40 years ago, but here’s some physical evidence from 1997! 📷
We've got a thunderstorm on the way, but apparently Spokane's Doppler radar is down for maintenance through next week. It's totally calm here at the moment though so pretty weird not to know how far off the rain is.
🍿⚽ Watched The Damned United this afternoon and it was a really good lesson on hubris, obsession, and redemption. I knew of the book it was based on, but didn't know the full history behind it or about the coaching friendship/partnership that was the emotional core of the story.
