I have only seen them in San Francisco not the neighboring cities. As I recall A few months or a little over a year ago a Waymo or something like it hit and killed a bicyclist in SF and they were taken off the road for a while. I assume since the waymos don’t appear to be electric that someone has to come by and fill them with gas. Having them all in one place would make refueling a lot easier. When rental scooters were in fashion I use to see a lot of guys picking them up to charge them or dropping them off after they have been charged.
 
Changed the filters in the Yukon this morning. Computer said they were at 33% life at 48,000 miles. New engine filter has a foam element that the original did not.

Looks like the cabin air filter was pretty dirty…. I was really late changing the one in my truck, there was a big increase in air flow when I did, now I change the cabin filter twice a year, once in the spring after the pine tree pollen clouds and again as winter sets in.

How bad were your old bunks? I’m guessing my 2017 needs some attention soon.
I've only replaced one bunk on my boat trailer. This was on the jetski trailer and those bunks were probably 8-9 years old. They also sit outside as the ski sits on a stand in my shed.

Dettifoss waterfall in Iceland....the 2nd most powerful waterfall in Europe after the Rhine Falls in Switzerland.

The spray soaked us! And it was 40 degrees. Thankfully we had great rain gear!

Took the boat out yesterday. Launched into the Buffalo Outer Harbor, then went NE up the Niagara River. Stopped and played between the tip of Grand Island and "Pirates Island" where there seemed to be a lot of others just anchored and hanging out.

Went back between the islands there on the left. Went through about 2-3ft of water. I've never boated in grass beds like this before. Total surreal feeling to see vegetation like this while underway.
