I’ve been thinking the past few days about the stock market and my assumption is we’re going to see some serious lip-service from President Trump soon as the White House switch board lights up from the capitalists who are deeply unhappy with how his politics are hurting their wallets.

Friday.

I bought Bright Eyes Tickets in Asheville last year for my friend Ben and I to go. I then moved to NH and gave them both to him and bought tickets to the Boston show next month. He FaceTimed me from the show tonight for a few minutes and it was so nice.

Finally got around to adding a rack and luggage to the travel-dirt-bike.

Audi is totally blowing me away with their new A6 E-Tron. 392 miles of range, starts at $67K, fold flat seats with a sportback boot. Wowzerz.

Annual Maintenance on the Husqvarna 701 Enduro LR + Installing a Rack + Bags for Summer camping.

3 Days Countdown to my 5K on Saturday. Today was my final big run and I did 2.7 miles…longest run I’ve ever done. So I know I can at least do that and ran out of time or could have done more. No more running until Saturday. Just going to do rowing and strength training with Yoga.

Nearly 150,000 photos are backed up to Prime Photos. So I have iCloud (6TB), Synology (on-prem) and now Amazon. Good redundancy for 30 years of images.

Town news, I voted yes on everything - www.enfield.nh.us/administr… 60%+ of my property taxes go to the school. I’ve never voted down an increase to school budgets even without a child. I think schools create culture, curb crime and connect us

In yoga this morning, the instructor mentioned all of the craziness going on right now and IDK, maybe? I arrived to Yoga pretty damn happy. I got paid Friday, My car started, coffee was tasty. I read position statements for my town’s candidates and then went to the library and voted.

I’ve been doing that since 2011 or so and hearing about things that happen after they happen is okay. breaking news, scrolling and alerts rot your brain. It’s a big world, I don’t need to follow everything. I open RSS & Micro.blog twice a day and that’s it.

RE: www.wordsfromeliza.com/p/how-muc… via Kottke, IDK man, I’ve been “offline” for decades and it’s doing me just fine. I read 70 RSS feeds and they’re all about hobbies I care about. I vote every election (voted today actually) and don’t read “the …

Just realized today was my 5th day in a row at the gym. That’s literally a new record. I have to run 2.5 miles tomorrow so I’ll be going tomorrow, too. Have to do 3 miles on Friday for my first 5K on Saturday. Yes, doing Couch to 5K in a week

Sourdough Starter looking ULTRA RIPE

With the frigid cold, move north and new job, I took 3 months off from working out. The last 2 weeks has been a great shift. It feels good to be back.

Drove through nearly a blizzard to get up to the brewery.

I did not pick this up for me but I will be setting it up for someone. $529 for a new Mac for someone who just browses the web. Replacing a full ATX case dell thats 10 years old. First time trying Windows to Mac migration assistant.

New plates are on. The truck is so dirty it definitely looks like I stole these license plates.

You can get the M4 Mac Mini for $509 refurbished from Apple.com or $529 new from Amazon/BestBuy www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLBT… I don’t need a Mac Mini but….

I don’t need a MacBook Air but for $699… www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLJ4… I travel sometimes.

Signed up for my first 5K.

I’m tired.

Heating up rotors because of rust, but this is like a 30 minute job if not for all of this rust.

Before work this morning, I changed my rear pads and rotors on the truck. It’s a 30 minute job but 90 minutes of time was added because I had to get the rusted rotor off the hub. I’m going to start the other side on my lunch break and hope that rotor just comes off easily.
