Decades of hanging onto ski poles no doubt.

You need some weed edibles to pass the time NTTAWWT

Off topic - I am looking for a credit card that racks up United airline miles. I know nothing about this stuff. Can I go into my bank and ask for one?

Also - was -7 degrees freedom here this AM. This cold weather is the shits

Up early because Hannah had swim. My FTS is pretty high. I got my tool bags & boxes reorganized into my Rigid modular now that I got a drawer unit. Rigid makes boxes able to take dividers but apparently doesn't sell dividers, so I need to sort that out. Supposedly 1/4" ply works, but we shall see. Everything is in one modular system now, which is great for these winter trips. It will not be great once it warms up again, because the boxes are too big when I'm trying to get things to fit into the Allroad.

I milked cards for free points a few months back and it's coming to value, finally. The Capital One points let me reimburse myself for prior travel expenses, so the free points I got paid for our hotel and rental from last weekend. We still have over half our bonus points left, which should cover the next trip too. The flight was also on Southwest points, so the cost wasn't *as* bad as it could have been... And I haven't even used the Hilton or United points! But we're definitely driving next month. Gotta get those travel expenses down!

I like the rigid Modular’s, if I wasn’t so invested into the Milwaukee packouts eco system I would buy some more but kinda committed nao

Finally no snow, no rain and low enough winds so that I could cut down the two small trees that the storm over the holidays tilted over and that were leaning into other trees. #firewood

In other news: similarly to the UK, we have a new king. The former queen retired w/o dying first, making this possible. #stillnotmyking

It's taken me forever to get a drawer box though. I checked Wednesday and there weren't any available. Thursday there were some and by the time I put in the order, no more we available at my local HD. I had to order at one 10miles away. The small parts bins are limited to 5 per order; online only. I ordered 2 and they were sold out after I finished my order. The spacers are annoying as hell though...

I think it got up to 0 freedums today.
Took older kid grocery shopping. She talked me into more legos. I’m a sucker for legos though.
Pedaled to no where in the basement. Now cooking dinner. Has been a good day.

Pro tip: wait 6 mos - a year and then apply for the bidness* card too and double your free miles.

I rotate through airline credit cards every few years.

But you have to remember to cxl them and wait a year....

Id think Alaskan would be another good one given your location in pacific NW...


*You probably have an EIN from your side hustles but you can use social security number if need be...
