    Still a win, rates went up from there, and prices have continued to go up.

    Timing was all luck. Even a couple weeks in either direction and we'd probably be >3%.
    We only refi'd because that was worth doing to drop PMI. If we didn't have PMI back in '17 we'd probably have just left it.

    My home network is about the same, I do want to set up a Plex server or similar for watching things from.
    I do have a second monitor at home because I work from home time to time. Worth it.

    I have no idea how old our printer is but it's an OLD HP and it works off the network somehow.

    I never had PMI. I also bought in 2017 and didn't put 20% down, but the lender I used didn't require it. I mostly refinanced because it allowed me to drop 9 years off the mortgage with only adding around $200/month

    If I had to buy a 3rd gen, that would be the truck (other than trying to find a 6 speed manual)! Nice find!

    Thanks! I've gotten a bit tired of driving stick, but the 4runner is a 5spd so I can always rip that around when I want some manual action

    I do get it; if I had a long commute with lots of traffic, I would get tired of a manual as well.

    My current commute isn't too bad for driving stick but some days after standing and walking all day you don't really want to shift gears all the way home lol

    I didn't mind traffic with a manual. I put it in 2nd and coasted while the cars in front of me constantly accelerated and braked every 50 feet.

    If anyone needs a power station, now be the time. These are great deals.

    Ordered some commuter and road bike stuff, I don't think much was Prime Day related, might have been though. Switching over to SPD pedals on the road bike and adding them to my commuter bike, plus new road shoes - after 10 years in my old pair.
