  1. My daughter got pulled over in NH doing over 80. Pretty girl gets away with a verbal warning. Full application of all inherent privilege. She told me she did profusely apologize to the trooper when he told her how fast she was clocked.
  2. Severe in New England. Imagine that post in Oklahoma..
  3. I almost flipped the switch. Definitely later today. Took me til Friday to turn the boiler off
  4. I’ve seen some May days in Switzerland that give it a run for the money.
  5. True story I went to wrestling and afterwards everyone was milling around in the lobby of the theater it was held. Out walks Bruno Sammartino in a suit and tie carrying a briefcase. I was floored!
  6. Finally remembered to turn off the heat...will probably need ac mid week. Another day of destructive sun early and clouds mid day.
  7. Most people use them before me. It almost has to be high summer for me. Cool evening now so may hold off on tomorrow...lol
  8. Beautiful spring evening. I haven’t worn shorts since I was in Florida. Tomorrow is transition day.
  9. Thankfully spring will end soon and give way to hotter wx.
  10. Charles Shaw. Had a half a glass once and ended up with a blinding headache.
  11. I’d want 30 degrees+ warmer in temperatures and 30 degrees higher dew for outside work.
  12. Spring blows in New England period. Last Mother’s Day it was cold and blustery. It does look like we turn the corner after the next 3-4 days and actually tomorrow looks nice. Still....cloudy but manageable temperatures vs the shit of about a week ago.
  13. The day we sell is the day we either come into a windfall well above now or the day we leave the region. The biggest “problem “ is we really like this home and environment around it.
  14. Maybe the bylaws themselves are an impediment to progress. New England is unique that way.
  15. People have been meeting or exceeding those bids for homes imby for over 5 years. Heck, we made 100k the day we moved in and we’re up many times that now. In the end, the biggest 3 things are location location location.
  16. Reminder....it started 5 days ago.
  17. Tattoo is dead. Is snow far behind?
  18. The long game is the only reliable way you can do this. Selling at the bottom is nuts and timing the market is a fools errand. I actually won the only time I timed the market. In March 2009 I moved my entire 401K into equities. It worked out but I’m not sure I’d do it again. During a difficult time in my life circa 1991 I had to tap into a 403b account. The end balance was meager but now nearly 30 years later including RMDs which subtracted from value it is worth 10x that amount. It’s a near forgotten account that I don’t even consider in my assets in my head but it’s worth enough $$ to keep us going probably for a year. Patience.
  19. Happy Birthday Brian! Hope it’s a fun day day despite the crappy wx.
  20. Nice rainy night. Time to contemplate sleep....
  21. Exactly! I prefer a relatively small plant based dinner. Then a glass of wine if I’m inclined and a nice walk late night.
  22. If you’re eating at 9 and bed at 10 I’d agree. But most have a solid 4+ hours after the last bite. In fact, my dinners tend to be late and small so I can exercise with a walk at some point just before midnight. Then my wife and I hang out for a few hours and we bed sometime after 2 most nights. Sleep deprivation is a known driver of obesity so doing dinner too late and not getting enough sleep is bad for multiple reasons. But we all choose our schedule that works best for each of us. Spaniards have dinner very late and are a lot thinner vs Americans.
  23. If you’re not working from home 5:30 is impossible for most people.
