This week all habits were kept.

The high­light of this week is that our car returned home after get­ting involved in an acci­dent and then spend­ing next six months in the work­shop while the parts were import­ed from Japan. I am sur­prised that it took only six months to be repaired in the post-Covid world where ship­ping and sup­ply chain issues are ram­pant. While the replace­ment Jeep Rene­gade was great, I only real­ized how much I missed my own wheels after get­ting my hands back on them.

This week is also East­er week­end which is spe­cial to our fam­i­ly. We went away on a road trip for two days and spent rest of the time at home.

We went on a two-day road trip to Wait­o­mo Glow­worm Caves that was orig­i­nal­ly planned for last week but we had to resched­ule due to son’s foot­ball game at the zone. Pho­tog­ra­phy is pro­hib­it­ed inside the caves so I don’t have any pics. On the way we stopped by a his­toric swing­bridge built in 1925. We also had a fan­tas­tic din­ner in Wait­o­mo vil­lage. Vis­it­ing Wait­o­mo Glow­worm Caves has been on our to-do list for a long time, so nice to check it off the list.

Pods

This week I cleared out a bunch of great DHH pod­casts I down­loaded a while ago.

I also found this old pod­cast 2015 that I found in my Todist and caught up on it.

Then I lis­tened in to this one of his recent episodes which you can also watch on YouTube here. High­ly rec­om­mend both.

Last­ly, this 20VC with Har­ry Steb­bings episode with Jason Fried is insight­ful too! You can also watch it on YouTube here.

These are all the book­marked pods from DHH and Jason Fried in my list so far. Next week I will be catch­ing up on anoth­er set of pods from oth­er inter­est­ing peo­ple in my list. I will men­tion in the future Week­ly posts if I find any inter­est­ing episodes worth shar­ing.
