Thank you. Santorini was packed even during the shoulder travel season. We were fortunate that one of the days had no big cruises docking (was told it happens one day per month) so it was not as bad when touring Fira. We booked pricey accommodation with the sunset view in Oia, and it was worth...

Our recent trip to Greece. Love the history, culture, food, and the people.

I am surprised my iPhone 14 Pro has 95% battery health. Just went down from 96% yesterday. Charge to 80% on most days and using cable "slow" charger usually. Hope this charging habit also translates to long battery life with my newish 2022 Tesla MYLR.

Wife's 2017 Acura MDX 163000km. First time changing the 9 speed ZF transmission oil, DIY. Bought it when it was, 83000km used and I presume one transmission service was done before our purchase. I didn't bother doing the way the manual calls for, such as taking transmission temperature after...

Those prices look reasonable. Even with insurance, going to the dentist here is very expensive. I feel bad for folks who do not have any coverage. We are currently sending our two kids to school to cover for medical needs in a few years: Child #1: in 3rd year med school Child #2: in 2nd year...

In South Korea last month:

Just came back from South Korea. Cool looking bookstore at Starfield Coex Mall in Seoul. Nightly water fountain show at Mapo Bridge in Seoul. Pokeman-themed airplane, anyone? View from our $50/night hotel in Jeju Island with free valet parking. Having cheerleaders at a KBO baseball game...

All spotted while on the walk within our neighbourhood that includes protected wood and walking trails. So blessed to have access to different wildlife. The second picture of the coyote was first for me, and I thought it was an unleashed dog. I think the last picture of the bird is woodpecker.

On May 11 and 12, my daughter and a friend took these pictures in Alberta. I should've stayed up to watch, but forgot about the aurora event.

Did some preventative maintenance on wife's 2017 Acura MDX on Mother's Day! Out: 5L of OEM 0W20 synthetic oil / TG7317 filter was left on In: 5L of Super Tech 0w20 synthetic oil Oil was used for 8 months and, 6200km. OLM was showing 60% and didn't reset it as I'll do another change before the...

Mine looks exactly like yours. I hate cords dangling from the cam to the power source. On a side note, in Korea, I see Hyundai and Kia's come with factory built in dash cams.

Once my $3 Fram TG filters are used up, I will give these filters a try. Thanks for the photos.
