Thursday miscellanea #566

  • Parm & Pepper is coming soon, from my favorite restaurateurs.
  • I asked my boys to start a Spotify playlist for me. What a blast that has been! They are listening to a lot of great stuff, and I’m loving what they pick for me as well as the jumping-off point the process generates.
  • It is ridiculously easy to put the Google Play Store on an Amazon Fire tablet. I had no idea or I’d have done it a long time ago. I assumed you had to root it (you don’t). (I’m just pointing you to a web page, not telling you to do this. If you break your tablet, you broke your tablet.)
  • Changed all of the ignition coil packs and spark plugs on the Versa yesterday. Took me two hours and $78 in parts, thank to this video series. Paying an independent shop to do it would have been $400, and the Nissan store might have been double that. God bless everyone who makes videos like this!
  • Paul just got a Bolt!
  • This is a long read, but seems to fairly assess the current state of the Florida State football program and how it got there. To consider it today against how it once was, particularly in the 1990s, is bizarre.
  • We still haven’t turned the heat on. I wondered idly this morning if we might make it to December. Doubting it now. The week after Thanksgiving looks dicey.
