FTS. My father says Work is what horses die of. Boomers are weird, the most opportunistic generation ever, claiming favorable circumstances as their virtue and hard work.

how strappy are his boots these days
I shouldn't, but I still marvel at the number of people who can't/don't want to accept that luck and circumstance, perhaps more than any other factor, play the biggest role in anyone's success.
Apparently not strappy enough to make frequent trips up to MA to visit his son.
Afternoon. Another solid day of torturing...I mean training our athletes. Headed to the pool for a float and then dinner before the oldest goes to practice. One week from now she takes her road test and mom won't need to drive every night to gymnastics.
Wandered around looking at local sinks shown by 1' resolution lidar, nothing really interesting.
2 of 3 monkeys have been paid
Act your wage. Back at the investment bank I was making $200k+ and I damn near worked myself to death.
Now? I know what they hired the new guy 3yrs out of college at. You need me more than I need you, because my position is grossly understaffed nationwide. I can walk over to Schwab and make 50% more, but I'll have to work that much harder. Nah. I'm good.
Going to cook some collard greens in applewood smoked bacon, onion, tomato, garlic and chicken stock, served with pepper vinegar. Nom, nom, nom...
Damn, that was an ACTION PACKED day.
wasn’t doing much (cant ride), so I did some extra credit honey-do listage.
Completely emptied and cleaned Refrigerator, Freezer, junk drawer, three medicine drawers, and the spice shelves.
Also got steaks to grill for dinner.
I better get a ‘thank you’.

OMG. I'm arguing with MIL1 about paper statements for her brokerage accts. Vanguard is getting rid of paper statements, unless you pay a $20 fee. So I told her to get rid of it and just pull the statements as PDFs, then save to her cloud folder. She's complaining that "the poor and underprivileged are being left behind again" because they don't have online access. Despite most people owning a smart phones. And how older people don't all know how to use technology, to which I say, get on the technology train or get left behind. 
Medicine drawer you say? Just make sure it's wife telling you thank you and not the jacket rack.
That's an impressive commitment to "get off my lawn" by your MIL1 - I'm impressed!OMG. I'm arguing with MIL1 about paper statements for her brokerage accts.

Every valid argument has a BS response.That's an impressive commitment to "get off my lawn" by your MIL1 - I'm impressed!
Use zoom on your phone - I need to see the whole line to understand it better.
You can just print it out from your phone - Mine doesn't - yes it does, I'll set it up for you - but what am I supposed to do with the downloaded files - save them to your cloud folder called "vanguard statements" - but what if my computer dies - YOU HAVE IT IN THE CLOUD! - but...
I have a very dear old friend who refuses to use a password manager - she likes to keep a piece of paper under her keyboard with them all. I don't even try any more.
At least you're trying...
Took Lil Man golfing, he's a kick in the pants. You can tell he isn't all that excited about the coming new addition. Just makes us put more effort into it, I guess.
You've met MIL1?I have a very dear old friend who refuses to use a password manager - she likes to keep a piece of paper under her keyboard with them all. I don't even try any more.

First day with Z Flip 4. Seems fine. Decent upgrade from Flip 3 for $100, cameras look promising.
Great average speed, how did it go?

TIL there is a hashtag for what I've been doing for over a decade now.
And to be honest, I think I'm going to stick with it.
Did my good deed for the day today on our ride, small snake was coiled in the middle of the road. Lil' effer lunged and snapped at me 3 times as I was trying to persuade it that off the road was a safer life choice.
What species?
Honestly really fun. I shaved almost two minutes off my PR on the loop. I’ve done the loop like three times before and had a mechanical twice on the back side of the loop. Felt like I still had gas where I usually want to quit. I think I came third behind the other two aero dorks but in front of the regular bike riders. We will see. Either way it was great fun and I felt like I was flying.
Not sure. Didn't have a rattler, but still made me jump each time it lunged and snapped.
Rattler.
trouser rattler? you do you man....
kill list ^2
