Dragged my sorry ass out of bed at 7 PDT for what I assumed was an 8 AM Zoom workshop with a software vendor in Germany - our early morning, their end of day. Turns out that Germany doesn't go on DST until March 28, so the workshop doesn't start till 9 AM PDT.

So, a guy brought me my asking price on Saturday for the Camaro. S.o.B! Didn't think I'd feel this crappy about selling her. Ima miss her.

No one said I still had to shovel if I had a snow blower. My little 80 volt battery powered jobbie had to work pretty hard today, but I give it kudos. 2 feet+ plus drifts... I think I spent 8 hours out there today. I also slid a nice little 8x2' 125% in there. I burned some calories today.

Amen Brother Bill! AMEN! Thought I was going to loose my mind for about a week, then I think I did. I had tried on many occasions to quit before but the one that stuck changed my life.

The adverse reaction was not long in it's arrival. The fatigue was first, and I turned off the light at 8:30. And proceeded to pass the night exhibiting symptoms of food poisoning, without any of the violence of it; just steady pain moving around in the digestive tract. At 5:30 I got up and had a nice dump, and noticed the soreness in my upper arm. And then slept, pain free for the next three hours. At the moment I'm still in the hammock, gingerly sipping my coffee. The wife had a peaceful night's sleep and no soreness. Good for her. One down; one to go. I will make a point of not eating a largish meal after the next shot.
Do people tear off their masks and throw them in the air, after the second shot?

How many cars do you have now? I had 5 cars at one time and I hated getting rid of any one of them. I'm over that, at least for now.

Don't ask me why, but at some point I think I'm going to buy a Kia Soul. They've been on my radar for a couple years now. I can't explain it. I've never owned a new car. So before I retire, if this next contract is OK, I might get one as my preretirement gift to myself.

I'm 6'-1" Generally I ride a 58cm, my cross bike is a 56 cm. Fits just great. On a 56 I need a 2cm set back post and 120 stem, 175 cranks. Then just beware of you overlap. Especially on the cross with the steeper geometry.
. On a 58Cm, 0 set back post, 110 or 120 stem 175 cranks, all is well.

The seller's suggesting lower price to move it. I think he's not gotten much action.

We've had five, and that's a lot. Of course, two of them were kids' cars, but I still had to maintain them. Got rid of the extra at one time, but now it's back. We are now at four (with one being a kid's car), and that seems manageable. Technically, I have five, but one is mine in title and note only as I went on it to help my daughter get a decent financing rate.

I just saw an ad for one of those remote home alarm/locking systems. Is it just me, or does a remotely activated locking and unlocking system seem LESS secure than simple mechanical locking? I figure if YOU can do it remotely so can someone else.
