Doak Campbell Stadium Construction






Friday morning - I decided to ride my electric trike to the stadium. Lulu and I have a backway to the Doak that avoids most of the traffic. It took me 15 minutes from my front door - to the construction entrance at the stadium. The nicest part is crossing over Monroe Street on the bridge to avoid the car traffic and street lights. 

STADIUM

The Home Side Grandstands are all torn up. They have completely removed the bleachers - support structure - everything down to the bare dirt. All the seats from goal line to goal line and up to the 50th row on th home side are gone. They plan to replace it with some sort of luxury box area for the high rollers. It is essentially a club within a stadium for college football games. They have taken away all of the prime seats on the home team side. I am guessing it will be off limits for normal fans that just buy a ticket to see a football game. The irony is that it is just 4 months until the first game of the season. It is going to be interesting to watch a game - with a giant crater next to the field. They expect to be done for the 2025 season.

I really enjoy watching the Seminoles play football. But this change makes me even happier I bought the giant screen TV and barcaloungers for watching at home. 

The trike performed flawlessly.

Electric Trike Rickshaw - Product Review

Image
  Sixthreezero.com Capacity 500 pounds Last week we sold our Vespa 150 Scooter. We replaced it with this electric powered trike. They don't have a lot in common other than Lulu and I can go to sporting events on either one.  This electric trike was made by SIXTHREEZERO.COM. They sell a long line of electric bikes - trikes - and scooters. The company is based in California - but it appears the trikes are made in China and assembled in California. I also helped a bit - it comes packed nicely - but the handlebars - fenders - seats - pedals - and computer are easily assembled at home. The trike was compacted nicely in a 150 pound box. The delivery person brought it up the driveway in a hand truck - and dumped it in my garage. It took about one hour to unpack everything - then another hour to assemble it. It requires a couple screwdrivers and a couple wrenches. The foam packing prevent any parts from being damaged during shipping.  NUMBERS It is supposed to go about 50 miles - with a to

Review of GE Profile Washer-Dryer Combo - After 10 Days

Image
GE Profile Washer-Dryer Combo We recently replaced our standard stackable LG Washer and Dryer. We have them for about 10 years. I was eager to try a washer dry combo. Lulu was happy to just keep our old units. I consider myself an early adapter or adopter. I always like to get the latest and greatest tools and technology. Lulu tends to pacify me. She gets attached to items and likes to keep them around a long time. I always buy something with an out. In this case I have 90 days to try the new combo. If I get buyer's remorse they go back to the store. Most big box stores are good at return policies. Just keep your receipt and packing.  First off - the new Combo costs $2100. The price included delivery and set up. I never used to buy the extra warranty - but I am soft in my old age - I paid $250 for a 5 year cover everything warranty. I sold our old washer and dryer set for $800.  If I have to list a negative - the unit weighs 300 pounds. I would not want to try to lift this myself.

I Got to Inspect A New Tesla Truck and Also Test Full Self Driving (FSD) in a Tesla Model Y

Image
John's new Tesla Truck John's old - 4 year old Model Y Today I had the pleasure of inspecting a Tesla Truck - they call it a Cybertruck - up close and personal. John - a fellow member of the electric car club - met me at his home to show me the truck. He also took me for a drive in his 2020 Tesla Model Y with full self driving (FSD). My Tesla Model 3 also has FSD but I do not pay the $200 monthly premium to use it. I have autopilot which is the poor man's version of FSD.  First off - I loved his 2020 Tesla Model Y. It is bigger inside and taller on the outside than my car. It is easier to get in and out of - it has a big hatchback for loading stuff. Think of it as an SUV. John bought it 4 years ago for $60000. It has 35,000 miles on it - and he is asking $35,000 for it. So I cost him $25,000 for 4 years of driving. It is a well kept perfect car. It takes some getting used to having the car turning - starting - stopping - changing lanes - etc - all by itself. It was pretty g
