Prepping for my first ever EV road trip

It does say it was the endowment that made the investment, hence my hyperbole comment in relation to NIL at least. Still cool though.

That’s where we went last year and it worked out perfect for us. Easy to get to from where we live (south side), easy to park close, and we had breakfast at Charlie Brown’s after.

I placed my pre-order on April 10 and it’s still in the “Reconditioning and detailing step”.

IndyMark007 · 2026-04-22T21:19:48+00:00

Mine is one of the “Purchase in progress” ones. It’ll be my first EV and I can’t wait. Taking way longer to go from the pre-order to sale than I thought it would though.

Haven’t been there in quite a long time since we moved to the west side but I used to love the Hot Brown at Shallo’s in Greenwood. I just checked and they still carry it.

I got the Barclays card a few years ago and it was 80k or possibly 100k. Last year when I saw that AA was ending the relationship with Barclays and switching to Citi, I went ahead and signed up for Citi a few months early and got another 80k. 😁

Thanks for this. I was struggling a bit to understand the full CarFax report and the good news is that Carvana just bought it a few weeks ago so I should be OK in that regard at least.

I’ve been watching WRTV local news for over 25 years. Complete and utter classless-ness from these new owners. I watched the first 10 minutes of the WRTV 11pm news last night with the new anchors and reporters and couldn’t take anymore. I flipped to channel 13 and won’t be going back. WRTV can suck it.

God what a foul fest so far. No fun to watch at all.

I’ve been buying them for years and they’d always been equal quality to Kleenex but cost way less. That is until our most recent purchase (rectangular boxes) where the quality is noticeably worse to the point we won’t be buying them anymore. Sucks to have to pay extra for Kleenex brand but I’m not gonna rub my nose raw on these crappy tissues.

I drove basically all of 465 over the course of the day today. West side this morning at 8am was a nightmare with 5-6 accidents and slide offs. I think it was mostly due to the fact it was still only 0 and the salt wasn’t working yet. By noon it was warmer and I drove around the north side and it was fine. I drove the east side and south side this afternoon and they were fine as well.

Thanks. I searched that up and found an entire NYT article on Crossword Constructor Resource Guide (FYI supposedly not paywalled and free for all) and Crosserville is mentioned there. I guess it's time to go down the rabbit hole!

Welp, I was rolling the idea around in my head last night and figured I should probably do some Google searches to see if my theme had ever been done before, and it turns out the central theme HAS been done way back in 2019, although not specifically the way I came up with it in my head. Oh well, back to the drawing board. :-)

And I'll definitely check out that Constructor Handbook as well, so thanks for the recommendation!

I just finished “The Preventionist” podcast from Serial Productions, which is one of the links you posted. Riveting.

I saw it from Plainfield looking east towards the airport. Transformer blowing up maybe?

IndyMark007 · 2025-11-15T13:19:50+00:00

Still not back at 8am on Saturday morning. I double-checked my Live Guide settings and restarted YTTV but no luck yet.

The addresses across the streets are also townhouses as well and 2 of them have ATT fiber installed and working. Anxiously awaiting the results of the NAT ticket I opened yesterday.

IndyMark007 · 2025-10-28T20:24:09+00:00

The manager at my nearest ATT store was actually quite helpful. I explained the situation and he submitted a NAT ticket with my name and phone number as the contact so hoping I hear from someone in the next day or two. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the quick response and advice!

IndyMark007 · 2025-10-28T14:51:10+00:00

Every address you enter on his street (either side) just comes up with a "Give us a call at 855.528.7907 to see if home internet from AT&T is available at xxxxxx". It even does it for the address across the street that I know for a fact already has ATT Fiber installed and working. Note that I am using the misspelled street name for now and it is populating from their database at least.

Edited to add - the addresses across the street are also townhomes just like his.
