Don't forget, once you get on the plane, grope the flight attendants, try to open the emergency door while in the air, and be obnoxious. That's the new normal.
I say he fake a medical emergency and have them land the plane. Think of the headlines. |

I had kind of the opposite issue. I also couldn't read social cues, but instead of creeping girls out, I'd completely miss that they were interested in me. Mrs.GeneJockey got around it by being pretty obvious.
Now that I'm older I've had several moments where I suddenly recall some situation from my young and single days and realize "oh she was coming on to you" or even worse "oh that was a booty call". Feels bad, man. |

I could camp. In a hotel. “Camp” means “country”; I could totally stay in a hotel in the country.

Camping at the Four Seasons is great any season of year.

Looks like the Powerhouse is closed now too, but it also looks like they ruined it by cleaning it up a few years ago anyways. RIP. When I last went in the early aughts it was still very gritty and had Milwaukee's Best on tap.

I prefer the JW or any Autograph property. I've had some good experiences at Four Seasons properties, but only rarely stay in them since they are pretty spendy. We usually stay at Marriott properties and occasionally a Ritz Carlton which is part of the family. Gotta get those Bonvoy points! Our last big trip was in August 2019, when we went to Anguilla for our 25th. Stayed for two weeks at the Four Seasons in a suite. That was really nice, although it was a huge splurge. Had I known I would lose about a third of my business less than a year later, I may not have done that. |

I used the "Four Seasons" in that post to play on the words.

Amoeba Records is still open, datlas ! If you haven't been to a gigantic record store in a while, you're in for a treat. Buy some fresh wax and ship it back east.

Couple of years ago we went to Key Biscayne Ritz Carlton for a few nights. It was in October and we had a giant suite for a whopping $189 a night. Agree, I'm a slave to the points. Looking at a job prospect that may have me spending 60 nights a year on the road, will like the free nights that gets me.
We were supposed to go on a sailing trip in the BVI a few years ago, but Hurricane Irma rolled through the week of the trip. We cancelled the sailing trip two days before we were supposed to fly out, and changed our destination to San Francisco since we had the time away already on the calendar. Since it was so last minute, we got a similarly great rate at the Ritz there. They have a nice product. |
Last ride in Boulder concluded. Sad.

Ahead of the road trip, I got the oil changed yesterday. This morning, I noticed a fresh, pancake-sized oil spot on the garage floor when I backed out. :notamused:
I looked and didn't see any obvious source, but with the oil leak last year, one likely caused by over-tightening of the filter housing, it was grimy enough that it'd have to be really obvious. Anyway, took it back in to the shop and they say that it was a pinched oil filter housing gasket and that it should be all good, now. Yeah, I'm not going to comfortable embarking on a 3k mile road trip with just that assurance, so Imma get under there and clean up the gunk, so that any new leaks will be a little more obvious, and then I'm going to keep some paper under the engine when it's in the garage, to make any drips obvious. *le sigh* |

I think his idea of climbing in the Santa Monica mountains is better.
