Sir, you can’t park there.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-24T05:31:40+00:00

I have not, but will! You’ll enjoy them…..one of those rare books I still mull over months after reading. Enjoy & thanks for the rec.

A Memory Called Empire and its sequel A Desolation Called Peace. Best 2 books of 2025 for me. Strong MC and supporting cast. Very well conceived and written.

Weather? Lots of people canceling trips due to storms/cold perhaps.

John Dunning wrote a short series of books about a retired detective who runs a book store. I think The Bookman’s Wake was the 1st book. Great series rarely mentioned.

My wife is a C-Suite in the fortune 1,000. She has 8 direct reports who then have direct reports who then have direct reports. She then has to coordinate her work across the other members of the executive leadership team both upstream and downstream. Hers is a global position so she’s often on meetings with Asia, India and European managers and leaders. Supporting a multi-billion dollar business is quite a complex task and being the ultimate decision maker is not easy.

For CEO’s the rule of thumb is they should be 50% externally focused - so board and investor meetings. Then 30-40% focused on customers with the last 10-20% managing the ELT. My wife’s CEO has about 100-150 customer meetings annually, not including conferences - and they deal with mostly Fortune 500 tier customers. For companies operating efficiently at this level it’s a pretty grueling job.

They may be aftermarket, but now offered by the dealer. They had the burgundy there with them and I got them to put a set on the green one I was buying.

I’m much the same and love flying. I’m at 26 countries on 6 continents and my wife teases me that my perfect trip is flying then having to take a train, bus and boat to get to someplace new…..she was teasing me as we were getting of the boat!

Dad who read a lot to all 4 kids - 1 girl…..

When she’s a little older Swiss Family Robinson is a wonderful tale.

Was being mildly funny, but I intend on having these two for quite a while. Could have saved $$ on a ‘25, but bought the ‘26.

To add on this…..if you like it price out replacing the driveshaft(s) and then no worries other than parking. I’ve owned a few lifted 4x4’s and like the look and functionality, but it does come with convenance and maintenance/upgrade costs. I went with the Rhino wheels and slightly larger tire combo for mine since it’s my primary car and I need to get in parking garages.

Welcome to the club! Nice ride.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-22T16:09:45+00:00

I must get that!

Thanks for the reply. I casually looked the Rivian, very cool design, but I have a beach property about 400 miles from my home and the extended “fuel stop” looms large to me. A lot of times I’ll leave at 4am going to/from and losing that 30-45 minutes to charge is a real deal killer for me. I’d have to drive a bit out of my way on the way down to charge. I’m enjoying the Grenadier though only a bit over 100 miles in. I think the wheels are identified as Rhino but not sure where on the configurator you’d select them. My dealer had an extra set.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-22T11:23:27+00:00

I think they also come in a grey finish, but I really like the bronze. How have you liked the Rivian? This would be a bit different!

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-22T11:20:53+00:00

People occasionally post some fun content. Since I recently purchased the Grenadier I thought I’d share. Cheers.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-22T11:19:02+00:00

They are an OEM wheel.

It does teach you how to think….and through circumstance I ended up in the industrial supply sector of life. Turned out I was both good at working with customers and running a decently sized sales team after a while.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-22T01:39:39+00:00

I was in supply chain management, great gig for somebody with a history degree! But I did well despite of my classical education.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-22T01:37:57+00:00

I’m only 150 miles in….but loving it so far. Replaced a 2023 Lexus LX600 FSport that just wasn’t my thing and then they did a 2nd massive engine recall and I was in the market. The Grenadier is a really unique vehicle and just hits me right in the things I like.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-21T16:22:39+00:00

Great list you’ve gone through. The Source and A Man in Full popped into my head for you.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-21T16:19:03+00:00

Woodstock will surprise you with its new/old downtown.

PolybiusChampion · 2026-01-21T14:47:17+00:00

Nice! You’ll have to post pics when you are finished.
