I've already pretty inactive on Twitter these days. As I'm slowly finding more of the folks I know from here over there, I can see my activity dropping even more.

Since we are recovering from a family wedding this past weekend, we have decided to close for Presidents' Day.
Thank you, see you tomorrow!

One of your customers stops in towards the end of the day (after it started raining) to offer you a ride home since they knew you walked to work that day.

So remember that iPod project I mentioned? I don't think I ever posted any updates about it here but I did get it going. And I'm happier than ever with my music listening experience. No Spotify outage for me! 🤘
We’re aware of some issues right now with the app and are checking them out! We’ll keep you posted here: bit.ly/4doBFfZ
Even if I'm not sure if anyone will care or see it. There's a surprising number of hardware and software mods you can do with these things. Just for a little sampling:

Really cool stuff.
It was a bunch of little things over the years that made me start to dislike streaming music all the time.
I really missed my iPod, the only product Apple has ever made that I love. This is gonna be a fun little project and I'll try to remember to post some updates here.
@Spotify announcing plans to kill off the Car Thing was a turning point for me. I am putting money into my old iPod Classic to get it into the modern era with a few upgrades including Bluetooth and more storage. An end of an era and the start of a new one.

I don't even have friends or family to drive around most of the time! 😂
But it was nice for that when I needed it.
Minivans are severely underrated honestly. I drove one for a while and it was nice for hauling stuff without being as big as a lot of trucks.
I need a third option that is "The thought of it is frightening but I think it would also come in handy sometimes."
