LesterOfPuppets might like this. One of our owners shipped an EOT device from Cumberland, MD to our corporate headquarters with no explanation and no packaging. The UPS guy was not happy about having to lug the heavy, dirty thing.

Windy a/f here so I mtb'd around the neighborhood. Some little canyons to climb and they connect to each other further up.

I did exactly that with PTON when it was in the $35 range. I had it for a few days. I had never done trading like that, and it seemed to suit me. But games of chance, in general, don't suit me, so I gave it all up. I'll just leave it to the trainsnorters of the world.

There are a few people from our NJ office here today. No one knew what it was. They asked me what is was when I got back from lunch. How random. I know CSX has a large yard and shop facilities in Cumberland. There is an inspection sticker on it from 2020.

I think my 401k is down this year, though.
I had to go take a look, -$4.42. Whew, I thought that was a percentage at first.

I’m currently watching Donnie Darko on HBO Max. I’ve seen this movie at least 3x and still don’t fully understand it. 
Can’t not watch it though when it comes on.

We have three investment accounts - two managed by different managers, and one that I manage personally that is mostly our personal cash reserve. Across all three, we were up 13.8% last year. That's less than the S&P return, but we have a fair amount in "buffer" funds that give up a little on the upside to protect against any drops in the market.

I've always understood that there are three types:
- "Dumb" or "Fred" units that are just a flashing light or flag to indicate end of train, but no ability to transmit data
- "Average intelligence" with brake pipe pressure gauges
- "Smart" units that transmit other data to the locomotive through telemetry systems to the HOT unit

I rode a bike today. Between 5 and 6 km, to the store and back. I still remember how. It felt great
