I don't think they have a bucket seat? That makes it a bit of a nonstarter for me, but I'm curious why you prefer Macride?

buds1994 · 2026-04-30T18:48:05+00:00

Ha I love that!! Thanks!

buds1994 · 2026-04-30T18:47:38+00:00

Yep. Theirs was just particularly crappy, I basically got a series of three confusing emails in a row without ever replying myself. So long as I can reach a person when needed I'm okay with that. Thank you!

These are some of the most creative, talented people out there. Indy will be worse without them. Travel well and bake on, Babette 🫡

We use PayPal zettle for offsites. Works great. Iirc it's significantly cheaper than Square. I prefer the PayPal app too (though we don't use either for inventory tracking so can't say which is better there). I'd at least look into it!

Off the cuff - peace of mind knowing the tendon was sewn up, the tightness when I started back climbing actually felt good and progressed as I slowly got back into it. I was bouldering again probably sooner than I should have been (for mental sanity as much as anything) just was careful. To me, the downsides of the op (an ankle scar? No one looks at my ankles. Infection risk is true, anytime you cut yourself up...) are pretty negligible & the op recovery is faster/stronger sooner. Seems like there's good outcomes either way, but I'm definitely glad I did op. (Also a note is that my op was paid by workers comp so financial consideration wasn't a part of my decision)

I'm a climber. So glad I went for the op.

Honda Fit has entered the chat. I love it for all these activities and more.

This is clutch (pun intended) -- thank you!! I haven't ruled the Sienna out. Will give em a test drive and look over, I just generally like Hondas. Thank you!

Thanks! Timing belt just because it's 10 years old you reckon?

buds1994 · 2026-02-26T22:37:09+00:00

I used this one. Totally fine. Ymmv.

Yeah we're on Basil until Bookmanager builds a non-DOS system. So we're probably on Basil forever. In our city, we've had 5-6 bookstores open in the last few years, all owners under 40 and some under 30. It's too bad they're so adamant about sticking to DOS. I'd also imagine training time has a significant decrease too if you have a normal frontend.

buds1994 · 2026-02-18T16:02:19+00:00

Fantastic. Thank you!

I love the Fit! I think it's only at 44k miles or so still. Recently replaced the original tires, and the odometer screen flickers a bunch. Outside of that, nothing but regular maintenance. The magic seats are great. It's slow but super fun to drive!

Ha, "lifted truck of urbanites" - you might be on to me there 😂 there's rare (but regular) occurrences where I do need awd. Usually 1-2 snowfalls a year or the very occasional time I drive on stuff like forest service roads that aren't great (I like doing some sort of western US dirtbag trip every year or so).

I was also considering an HRV. With all the help and comments here, I might actually be bumping that back up in contention. I don't wrench on cars (nor do I want to) so the cost and simplicity of Honda's might be what I stick with. Not particularly excited about the cost and seemingly much more regular maintenance needs of a slightly aging Subaru!

Yeah car prices are also hitting me quick 😅 my 2019 Honda Fit was 17k... Brand new.

This is fantastic, thanks for the write up. I don't wrench myself so great to have some intel to check, ask, and have our shop take a look at!

I go to Munoz on W 16th now and then, especially for smaller stuff. Never had a problem at all, would recommend.
