I sometimes have to remind myself what I'm making as if I was paid like an hourly employee to help keep me from quitting the 2% of the time I'm overworked and sick of a lot of bullshit.
Makes it a lot easier to stay put.
My casual overtime is 8+ hours a week, it has finally broke me.
I was worked like a rented mule for half my life, also spent a bunch of time on the road. Never again.
I have yet to be in that position, and hope never to be.
You've gotta get paid to be considered a rented mule. Smuggling things in your butt for free doesn't count.
When I was young, I sort of thought business travel might be glamorous. New places! See the world!
I am really glad that I ended up on the entrepreneurial route, being based in one place. Instead I actually travelled the world with free time, and not just some crappy hotel in Des Moines or even Frankfurt, that I would have to leave at six AM to go to some other crappy hotel.
oh, and not to mention the horror of airports…

I travelled a bunch across the USA for my first couple of years living here, generally used to travel with a MTB and tack on a weekend of riding when I could. Haven't had to travel for work (so exclusively WFH) since Oct 2020.
I've got to get on a plane for work in a few weeks time

I've been doing that for several years. Apparently it's the only way we're getting raises around here.
FTS. Nobody ever died wishing they had spent more time at work.
There is a Fox 36 RC2 on ebay the seller just offered for $280 that I might have to take.

Don't forget to plan for another $150 to $200 to get it serviced
Not sure about the "over" part, they said it was in their air-defense-intercept-zone. I think according to international law and treaty, the only "airspace" that a nation owns is within few miles of the coast. That's how it's depicted on any of our aeronautical charts. Beyond that they can call it anything they want, but it's perfectly legal for another country to come up and fly in that airspace, as Russia often does. We have the same thing, an ADIZ zone, but everything beyond a few miles is considered to be international for the purposes of airspace, so that's why we aren't shooting down planes all the time and the same with Russia or China when we decide to go "check them out". We say that you will be intercepted in that airspace, but it's not airspace we "control". I suspect China is pretty careful in this regard, doing the same **** that Russia does to us, but probably not breeching that 3NM limit over Taiwan, which might actually activate missile batteries, intercepts, etc.

I have had the opportunity to travel to numerous industrial midwest and rust belt towns as the were shedding their last gasps of prosperity. On my last project I got to spend a several months in lovely Pontiac Michigan and Windsor Ontario. If I think really hard the only nice things I can say about those towns is that people are better drivers than they are here and Princess Auto is pretty awesome. Everything else needs to be cleansed with fire.
You lucky dog! Did you ride at Pontiac Lake?

I was too busy working and praying for a quick death.
Bleeding?
And even if you have some free time in a cool spot it's just not the same as vacation time.
That's why I'm waiting to hear from Fox if they can salvage my Van R first.
Cost of materials is your starting point at around $60-75 for seals and all the fluids. Then if you want it tuned...
Jesus, that is a fancy camera.
Thanks for reminding me that I need to get a grip for my camera.
it's a 40 year old 40 dollar lens on a camera body that has lost half its value....
Not too bad overall. I was stuffy and had a headache and was super tired. Friday I had energy so I prepped some meals early in the morning and cleaned before I headed back to my room. Saturday I was a little tired, less stuffy and a dull headache but today I feel fine.
