It is true that your tool box is going to get bigger if you work on newer VW's. That TDI diesel when working is a great motor. It would be wrong on a US car to install some of the performance parts available  only out of Canada but I hear that they are available. I see the VW diesel put in Suzuki Sidekicks here.  I am happily driving my Subaru Baja now as my daily driver, but have Suzuki sidekicks as my secondary vehicle that work well in cascade snow if we get any.

I call the new words Verbal Punctuation

We grow tepary beans in the high desert. It is not unusual in late summer to have 95 Fahrenheit  during the day and 30 Fahrenheit  at night. Our experience has been to hit them hard with irrigation in the spring and the dwindle to near zero through the season. 4200 elevation in the rain shadow of the Cascade mountains.

Now that is an undertaking. Are you in the United States? If so what state? Many answers might be dependent on your location. My house is modest in size and three of them would fit on each floor of your proposed home. A structure of that size would require engineering in Oregon.

I think mobility requires an item of known value for transactions. Once you are out of your circle/community there needs to be a convenient way to make an exchange. A portable, identifiable item that has a value acknowledged outside your circle.

Just another couple days for you. Mine is getting close, I go in next Monday. I am so ready for normal mobility again.

I am curious as to what the results were. It is the nitrates in the beets that lower ones BP. There is anecdotal evidence in a Scandinavian study that showed drinking water with a higher level of nitrates had a lower usage of BP medication for the population studied.

Eple pai, Norwegian apple pie.  More of a cake than a pie: 3 eggs 1.5c sugar,2 tsp vanilla,3/4 tsp salt, 3tsp baking powder, 1.5 c flour 3 cups diced apples.
Put eggs in a bowl and beat slightly.

divide into two 9 inch pie pans

No cinnamon in the original recipe, and I add slivered almonds.

Try putting a divot in the center of the patty the size of the bottom of a shot glass.
