Seems like an awsome deal you got there.

Wait until you hear about @eric strt6 - he's almost *70* and his wife makes him work 'cause show-horses.
Yeah, it only takes being a local for 25 years to get these gigs. The other popular one for less jaded old timers is ‘Mountain Host’ on the slopes.

chill day up in hurr. about to head to the y to lift things with the 14yo then have some ny strips.
Sitting around at the end of the 4 hour repair window for my internet fiber that has been down for 9 days.
The airborne trampoline has been "significantly modified" using power tools to be indefinitely immobile or functional.
Didn’t ski today, but got caught up on life and packed for a week of remote work/ski living.

And the cable/fiber guy is 3.5 hours late and counting for their 3 hour window appointment. I would simply cancel service as I have learned in the past week that hot-spotting off of my phone is technically sufficient for my needs. The problem arises with various subscription services that seem to be incompatible with such connections. Not just streaming services but annoying software like Solidworks will not run on my computer because of some stupid fucking license manager that needs to know my location. I tried several VPNs that failed to act as a work around.
Also Dassault can go fuck themselves, they truly ruined Solidworks which used to be a pretty amazing bit of software.

not quite, she makes 6x what I make, she pays for her own horse stuff. I work because she works from home and doesn't want me hanging around. Plus with my pay raise we are paying down the mortgage really fast plus investing in Tax Free Bonds and Bills. I will delay taking SS until 70 which will get me 124% of what I would have gotten at 65. My SS $ will cover the mortgage, insurance, and Taxes on our home, Hers plus our investments will have us on easy street well into our 90s if we make it that longWait until you hear about @eric strt6 - he's almost *70* and his wife makes him work 'cause show-horses.
Pit stop
Not surprised. Dassault, the brains behind Catia. God I hated that software.
nope 2 more and luckily I really enjoy my job ( although there are some days when things piss me off).But you need to work 5 years more!!!
Yeah they basically bought Solidworks and just replaced it with Catia, I don't have to tell you how terrible that is. I heard all the Solidworks people then started Onshape, may have to give that a go.
At work it has been 8 years and billions of dollars trying to upgrade Catia to 3Dx and it has been a boondoggle of epic proportions that will likely end with spending a few billion more to move to Siemens, and if you have ever used Siemens software you know how bad things have to be for that to be the better alternative.
The day I left Bell Helicopter, 8 years ago, I kinda lost touch with everything in that field.
Can't say I miss the cube life.
did you know @MMike?
(I might be wrong but I think he recently did a drive-by post, then quickly deleted it. hope you're well Mike!)
Getting up in the morning at times you do would make me hate my job. Fair play to you.
He does that to prove that @MMike still sucks.
IMO, time is way more valuable than a bit more SS $$. But, as usual, YMMV. And I don't have a mortgage or a horse.But you need to work 5 years more!!!
While you’re often abrasive about Eric’s working life and dancing horses, I agree. I’m grabbing days even hours for living every chance I get. This life is not a dress rehearsal, as they say.
also @SkaredShtles Text me if you’re at Copper or ABasin between now and Thursday.
I give him shit 'cause I know he can take it - and he answers to himself and his lovely bride, not me.
At least, I hope he can take it.
I wish - I strongly suspect my season is over, although there might be a very *slight* outside chance of making some groomer turns come April or May...
When the dumpage comes in earnest, you bastids need to thank me for taking one for the team.
HELLO
I've been in bed sick as heck since the 23rd. Been dosed up on neocitran and God knows how many edibles.
Head is quite foggy, but I no longer feel like I'm dying. And the cough only happens if I lay down.
Anyways, maybe tomorrow I can have a coffee and go for an easy ride.

Jeezus, dude. ++vibes for a quick recovery from this point.
Lucky. That you never met I mean. Did you ever meet his narrow-headed ex-wife?
anyway, I see his posts on Facebook. He skis now and then and still plays around with boats, both in Canada and in the Bahamas, I think? Never really figured out the latter. But I don’t like said posts so that the algorithm doesn’t decide to serve me up a bunch of his posts.
I’ll ski some early morning pre-slush late season groomers with you, Watz. Off mountain by 10 am ehthere might be a very *slight* outside chance of making some groomer turns come April or May...
Cheers should be on the up slope now.Jeezus, dude. ++vibes for a quick recovery from this point.
But damn it escalated quickly!
Sucks it happened over my time off and holidays, but could be worse I supposed.

Their are a few folks here who need the occasional de-bunching but I think it is safe to say all the dainty little flowers have long since left this site.
Hey, I can one up him! So, after my sinus surgery, (6 days after shoulder replacement) I got a bad cold. I didn’t know if significant discharge was normal, doc said it wasn’t. Got Prednisone, etc. didn’t get better, got worse. Now I likely have the tail end of a sinus infection, and probably Covid to boot. Going to my GP now. Shoulder seems to be healing, though.Jeezus, dude. ++vibes for a quick recovery from this point.
Cripes. What kind of holiday nightmare is this?!?
It’s called 2024. At the Dr.’s now.
Gah, I forgot about your surgery. Sorry man.
Ain't yo' fault. Prolly mostly my fault, if I'm honest.
