Wednesday, we meet again. In the office, and as per usual, busy as fuck.
Wife and I are mattress shopping. Sleep Number? Beautyrest? What say you, monkey collective? Most everything we are looking at seems to be in the neighborhood of ~$3,500.
/me shuttled middle child around this morning after much moonlighting last night. now time to work a bit, I suppose
That bike is still on my radar. I'm kind of waiting to see what my final buyout is when I leave the airline next week before making any commitments though. What ever the next bike is it's liable to be the last one for a good long while
7 years? That's a good bit of time. Is it slumping or anything? We have some sort of a memory foam thing we got from Amazon and it was pretty good for about a year, and now it's breaking down and has divets where we sleep so we're potentially looking for something new as well.
So... do you have one of these or something?
ya, have bought this in several instances for various beds at various places. and I like it well enough to keep on getting it.
Bought a Saatva online a few years ago. I’ve been pretty happy with it.

Here. FTS.
Hannah's moved up in gymnastics yesterday, but there are a minimal number of kids in her group that take the 5pm class. Because of that her 2-days per week class is moving to 1-day per week. We started discussing joining swim team 2-days per week, which she seems to be on board with.
We're starting the process of packing for the weekend now. It's much slower and taking more shit when wifey and Hannah are coming with.

It definitely has divots, and I try to rotate it regularly but it's not often. Those divots aren't really detectable though, and if you know me, you know I'm a bit of a queen- so even if you can see them, you can't feel them. I guess if you roll to the middle, in the unoccupied space, it feels a little different, but nothing like a clapped out coil spring.
fwiw, here's a shopping guide for mattresses: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-mattress/
I have a latex mattress from Ikea. Firm as fuck. it's on a frame that has slats. I liked it till I broke my back. then it was too firm. I bought a memory foam mattress topper last year. Can confirm it runs hot, but it's manageable. When this topper wears out or breaks down, I'll probably replace it with a latex foam mattress topper that is thick and cushy. I like the combo of firm mattress and cushy topper. This also gives you the option of selecting a surface that works for both people sharing the bed. we also have separate duvets...
Good point. I ended up putting a 1.5" memory foam topper on the spindle mattress because it was so hard. It really made it better.
Afternoon. Cat is officially missing. Haven't seen him since Sunday night/Monday morning (I didn't see him but kids said they did). Damnit...Haven't seen him on the roadside so I am thinking coyotes, but youngest thinks he's been cat-napped. Watching some Olympic Field hockey while it storms outside.
This is where being an EMT comes in handy. Most of the big guys give me a 50% discount on a mattress
Have you considered a water bed?

I shit you not, they are a thing. A buddy of mine runs a water bed gallery and somehow makes a living off of selling beds.
Anyways, they are all modern now, not just a blob of water in a balloon where you flop around. And some are really fancy that can be cooled and heated.
Hopefully teh cat comes home.
I guess cat-napped is better than the alternative, but both are not good.
So Chipolte has been having the skimpy serving scandal and the CEO fessed up. Today I got the biggest fucking burrito ever from there.
but its dog meat , so did you really?
Got jumped by some bald-face hornets when mowing today; they nested under our solar array. The back of my left shoulder is a little sore.
Sounds like a fire mission is in order, fire for effect! see the battlefield and execute with violence.
Fuck those fuckin' assholes.
One of them got Dory. Evil little shits they are.
We shall see. A neighbor said she thinks he was over visiting her neighborhood (it's about a mile away).Hopefully teh cat comes home.

Last time I was in a water bed, I was at a house party getting busy with an ex-GF.Have you considered a water bed?

That ex-GF is now my wife.
large amounts of $ handed over to costco. box truck rented. living room furniture all moved over into what was the dining room. large L-shaped pleather electric reclining sectional brought into rhe house in 6 large boxes, assembled, and roughly arranged. tomorrow the new tv gets mounted to a wall. i abhor change but wifey and 14yo have been plotting all kinds of shit (i think to distract her from being sad the 18yo is heading out in two weeks and her attempting to make our house "cool" so the 14yo and his friends will hang out here more). i think it's a load of crap and don't care if he hangs out here or not, but finally surrendered. le sigh. next up i'm supposed to be building some sort of bookcase/secret closet doors with him for his room...
Went to Kennywood today with the kids and my mom. Boy howdy do my kids love roller coasters. Which is excellent, because I also love roller coasters. After a few rides on the smaller ones they both decided they wanted to ride Phantoms Revenge. They each rode it 3 times. A+ came home and had a night swim before bed. Core summer vacation memory unlocked.
next road trip: you should hit kings dominion in va and then make your way down to carowinds!
Amusement park destination vacations certainly seem like they are in our future. Will be another year or 2 as my daughter doesn't meet the height requirements for everything just yet.
if you made it to carowinds this is 15 minutes away and has fun outdoor stuff to balance the amusement park stuff: https://center.whitewater.org/
There's a whitewater center up in the vicinity of the bike park I go to (Jim Thorpe area). Home to one of the few whitewater kayak schools in the country. Would still like to try it.
Pretty fun place, dont drink the water tho
Cedar Point.
/thread
Used to go in high school.
this one was the training facility for the us national paddling team for about a decade. in addition to paddling and rafting on the man made course it also has rock climbing and over-water rockclimbing, many ziplines and ropes courses, river access for paddleboarding, outdoor yoga, restaurants, bi-weekly concerts from spring through fall, and 30+ miles of trails. it's good stuff.
And MTB trails, although I don't remember being terribly impressed when I rode there.
