Maybe some LED interior and license plate lights. Nothing big. Most of it is going to go to my wife's hospital bill (from having a baby) so we can free up some cash per month.

Well, I got my group 151r battery today! Pep boys, good price, and Bosch.

Feel a bit stupid because I read “cranking amps at 32F” as meaning cold cranking amps. Nope that’s further down, and only 340. I’d been going for 370 but those are closer to 200$. Anyway I got fooled but I guess that just means I will replace it at 3 years instead of stretching to 4 ... the lower price will allow that without spending any more over time. The tiny expensive marine batteries are a rubbish design choice.

Could always shove a 51R in its place. The plastic receiver tray down there has to come out but otherwise it fits.

Yes but with everything going on I decided it was not the time to mod our car. That was originally my plan (group 55) and I decided to forget it and just go buy something quick.

I have no idea. I like the refreshed 2020 Civic Type R in boost blue but with the pandemic and all... who knows.
Right now so any extra money goes in my future car down payment fund.

Do it bro! YOLO! PANDEMIC purchases flatten the curve and stimulate the economy!

While I was out grocery shopping today, I stopped by my favorite BBQ joint to pick up lunch for the family. Along with lunch I bought $150 in a gift card to them. This is their 3rd location and they've only been open there since October 2019. Bad timing for this to virus to hit.

Grocery shopping was a success. Scored some chicken breast, a big pack of good quality tp, napkins, diapers and baby wipes. Things we've been running low on so we should be good for a while.
