In Asheville for the day. First stop, Biscuit Head.
Facade is the wrong word choice. I mean, it's a house of cards. We're all still borrowing but are banks getting increasingly cash poor every day until a collapse?
Regarding #SVB news, it makes you wonder...how many regional or national banks are suffering the same issue and it's just not news yet? By most measures, the economy is strong. Job Growth, Wage Growth, people paying over sticker for cars...but how much of this is just a facade and banks are …
License acquired. I’m officially a North Carolina resident.
Turns out I’m allergic to dust mites.
My month of health continues, tomorrow, full allergies panel which is something I’ve never done before. Going to be a long 3 hours. Should help me finally get control of seasonal allergies. So far: PCP Full blood panel MRI X-rays Dermatology Eye Dental Invisalign quote (insurance would be 50% off or …
@gruber actually, I took that out of context, here's the iPhone OS 2.0 quote from the Wired's liveblog from Steve: "98 percent are browsing the web on their iPhones. 94 percent using e-mail, 90 percent using text messaging, and 80 percent are using 10 or more features. "You …
@gruber I can't find the source but I remember in the iOS 2 / 3 days, Steve touted on stage that iPhone users have accessed 90% of the settings basically showing how simple it is to find and modify the iPhone to their preferences. I wonder that that percentage is now?
Despite my shoulder issues, I am happy to have put in a nice motorcycle gear order. I sold all of my gear last month save for one jacket. I know followers here probably know nothing about motorcycles but I made about $3,000 selling 20 garments. Then spent $3300 replacing them all with new stuff. …
Dermatology follow up, my first ever visit. One mole removed and sent off to testing and after having dandruff since I was 12 years old, I finally have a prescription cream that is supposed to eliminate my need to use any dandruff shampoos or facial moisturizer. Very worth while visit now that i …
From 2016 and until I moved to North Carolina in November, I've wanted to write this blog post not to vent or rant but to capture what this chapter of my life was like and I finally sat down and wrote it. It's not perfect and I was making edits until the last minute but it's done and I …
That stress of just hitting the publish button.
@lakelady My wife offered to fill in for me on our big trips :)
I'll be writing a full blog pos as to not muck up the Mastodon space for which I value those of you who follow me here and your attention but it's going to be a tough summer. I tried my damndest both last winter and this Winter to get surgery so my Summer wouldn't be interrupted and both …
@stammy Sorry to be a complainer. I enjoy your writing and was just curious. Many of my favorite sites have moved to excerpts only. It's a minimal inconvenience unless it's a blog with a lot of trackers & ads in which case I prefer the pure-RSS experience to clicking through. Your blog …
I created this visual aid representing how my surgery will impact my team at work. I do not own rights to any of these images used.
This is a photo of my right shoulder. Video coming soon.
@stammy do you have a full length RSS? Looks like it went excerpts only.
@stammy always appreciate your long form posts. I save and read them on planes.
Finally scheduled surgery for my shoulder.
Hello Monday. Sorry I didn't wish you all a great week 8 hours ago but this is going to be a super busy week. 5 doctor appointments, DMV visit, allergy season, friend visiting from new hampshire on Friday, two movies in theatres and of course, work.

Finally received notice that fiber is available in my area. $20 cheaper than 1gig cable and 100x faster upload. Take my money.
