Had two shots and a booster. Got hit with Covid prob two years ago and was down for 10 days with cough and ache. Have been Covid free since. I did come down with a cold couple weeks ago but mustered thru - did regular testing all thru but rona never came up positive. Still waiting for my...
I've had a Buick Enclave SUV past 6 years which is same as a Chevrolet Traverse but much nicer trim. It's been rock solid coming up on 8 years old only needing the regular oil change and have had to change the battery once. It's been a great family hauler with a full third bench seat when my...
Will try to do a family/friends reunion trip in DC area this summer again. Had it all planned last summer and family got hit with the rona last min canceling everything. Other than that work travel is back on again so the mad travel rush has already begun.
Ah yes, old tech. Auto skip/repeat and auto-reverse walkmans? Game changer! How about those dual cassette boom box that can make quick copies? Seems like a lifetime away....oh wait it was.
Used to have a Honda many years ago that had bad cat that keep throwing the check engine lights and wouldn't pass inspection. Twice I replaced it with third party cat and it lasted over a year before the CEL comes back again failing inspection. After the second time, I was told I had to get...
My Capresso grinder does both the job of grinding my coffee in the morning and also wakes me up from all the noise it makes. That little guy has lasted 8 years and is still grinding away - I'm impressed.

I don't know about quiet quitting but I'm coasting til retirement and the work still gets done with some quality and on time. I just automated most of it and free up my time for naps and personal errands. What's the problem?
I've been WFH for almost 10 yrs and my work quality hasn't been an issue. I get my work done fine and is of good quality. Frankly I think the company get more out of me since I don't get up and quit at 5pm. That said there are some aspects of work that would be done more efficient and quicker...
Wife came home yesterday showing me she filled up the gas tank for $82. Could've sworn it wasn't too long ago the fill up was around $40ish. If only my paycheck increase the same.
I have about 6 more years to go when my last kid graduate from college when I can really feel financially secure enough to retire. In the meantime still slugging away keeping up with my health and spirit. I don't hate my job (well most days), but given the choice I wouldn't choose work over no...
See the other Air and Space museum near Dulles airport that has a copy of the space shuttle, Concorde, and Blackbird SR-71 you can see up close. My younger self enjoyed mingling with the crowds on weekends at Georgetown or Old Town waterfront tho with the pandemic it’s probably no longer a...
The trick to happy marriage is you buy the biggest most comfortable sofa you can find. This has worked well for me though my wife has commented that I enjoy sleeping on the sofa more. I think she's onto my scheme.
I still have the remote control car I got from Hot Deals back then. It's been so long I've since moved to another state, cranked out and raised couple kids with two in college, and retirement is at the horizon. Almost a lifetime it seems. Got lots older but none the wiser.
No major new revelation except huge improvement on the Raptor 2 engine. Orbital test flight being held up by regulation red tape. Elon seems more confident it will all work tho. Amazing in two years it went from a sci-fi mock-up to full blown test orbital flight ready vehicle. I may just...
Interesting. Wife and I had same effect. Our first two Pfizer shots and felt nothing. Had booster shot Friday and we both got knocked out all day Saturday - slept in all day. No superpower yet tho.
My condolences.
When my Dad passed away, a monk told me "Whenever you miss your Dad, look at your hands. Part of him is with you always." That alone helped me greatly.
Took a quick look at the Pro on their site and it says "comes with durable vinyl seating". $40k for vinyl seating, really? I'd rather throw my "excess cash" at a used decked out F-150 Lariat ICE truck instead of that bare fleet electric truck for that kind of money. But to each his own.
