Landscaping

Rock landscaping

Rock landscaping sideyard rubberized play area

And we finally conquered some of the unlandscaped areas - the top terrace, the upper sideyard, and the area under the palm. The landscaping felt was already there from months ago, so all that was left was moving a few rocks. 11.5 tons, to be precise. We went with 2-3"+ rocks so that they could be leafblowered.

Rock landscaping scooping palettes

Jes drew up the plans, it took us maybe three half-days together plus a little extra to get them all moved. Because the areas we were working on are pretty inaccessible, we had to carry the rocks out in buckets. Also, 2"+ river rocks don't shovel very well.

Tein coilovers 3000GT VR4

Tein coilovers 3000GT VR4 comparison KYB HR

I spent a morning swapping out the off-menu rear strut/spring setup on the 3000GT for Tein coilovers. Struts and springs aren't hard, but coilovers are way easier.

Fun stuff

Slay the Spire Board Game Act III

Slay the Spire is fun but all of the cube-moving makes you appreciate the video game. The progression/unlockable element is nice though.
