That was the last piece to come together, I had to sit a minute before I could put the $$$ on it. I don’t have much in the way of muscle memory with the shifting, it’s been an easy switch. Set up indexed too!

I was thinking about the new tech that was introduced/adopted ~1995-2010 and what it felt like to live though that era - DVD players, laptops, cell phones, LED lights, smart phones, flat screen TVs, wifi, bluetooth, streaming. It felt like *progress* in a way that today's tech does not.

Here's the current state (note the barrier already moved). Not great. Though I wouldn't ride/walk under if a train is overhead since a section of the "ceiling" that protects from debris is missing.
