Our Next Adventure

 



We like to go to Europe for the summer. This summer we will be going for July and August. We start with a flight to London. We have enough FF Miles to fly free. 

Next we are taking a cruise on the Queen Mary 2. It will leave Southampton and be gone a week. We will stop at 4 cities in Norway. The Queen Mary 2 is sailed by the Cunard Line. They specialize in old time opulence. 

After that we will spend a few nights in London - then take the tunnel train to Paris. In Paris - we will stay with the Everhart 4. We will be there for the Olympics. 

Finally - we will fly home on Delta in late August. 

Our son and his family have been living in Paris the last 5 years. They are moving back to their old home in Washington DC and the kids will go to Washington Schools.

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
