Great success, sushi and wine for lunch. In the mall by 12:30 and home and done by 5pm feeling good about my haul.
I swear every attractive female magically appears at the malls this time of year, makes shopping a little more tolerable

Filled a large crack that was catching the gate wheel

Tried to make the Ring make the inside bell ring. If I cross the wires, it rings. Pushing the button still doesn't

The same thing I do everyday - whatever I want!

Oh yeah, I did mention that I'm retired on some other thread.

Flying home to Nashville for Xmas tonight. So finally get to spend time with aunts, uncles, cousins that I haven't seen in almost 2 years this weekend. Looking forward to it

Watch out for the new breed of lunatics on flights. Be safe, and have fun

It was available and it was new. All of the desired nVidia stuff such as the 3080 appeared to be shipping from China, with no guarantee it was a new card.

I've been spending part of my two-week holiday weekend evaluating the open-source Home Assistant as a possible replacement for my current home automation setup. For each thing that it does well, it does two things stupidly.

FYI, BMW ConnectedDrive integration is included in the Home Assistant devices. I can see the odometer on my i3, the current charge state, that's it's plugged in, and even lock/unlock the doors. Sadly, this will all be going away in a month or so, when the 3G cellular networks are shut down leaving many of us with no telematics connections.....

Tommy-G · 01-03-2022, 12:54 PM

I hate having weekend regret, sitting here Monday going "damn, we didnt do one thing of substance"
I need to find a hobby

Have you ever tried tracking a car? I've heard it's fairly inexpensive.

ramman434 · 01-03-2022, 03:10 PM

I leave Nashville last Friday & they get snow last night! In some places 5-6". Of course I miss it. Ugh!!

Yeah NO!
I hate buying tired after 2-3 years let along 1 weekend

Tommy-G · 01-21-2022, 03:23 PM

OK, it's that time again....thankfully Florida is back up over 65 degrees again. Looks like there's a Seafood Festival in St Pete.
Going Bicycle shopping tomorrow, need to drop my COVID 19 pounds

Meeting with 2 of my mentees. Providing pointers for upcoming interviews. How important it is to develop strong interpersonal skills, eye contact, don’t slouch, speak clearly — AND DONT BE AFRAID TO SAY “I DONT KNOW”.

upstatedoc · 01-21-2022, 06:22 PM

The usual. My 13-year-old and four of his friends. I don't know why I do this to myself

They are outside in 0° weather and making a TikTok video. Does that answer your question?

The key is to have a sleepover on a school day. They're already tired out from being in school all day so they should be in bed early ha ha ha ha ha ha
