  1. Not even a full today.
  2. Checking in as +. Outside of being tired for 2 days and a sore throat, the only pain in the ass was the brain fog yesterday that went away by 4-5 pm. I couldn’t remember shit most of the morning unless I wrote it down. It started fading mid afternoon and by early evening was gone. JnJ showing its muscle! Wife has it to, she’s basically had very very mild flu like symptoms hers started before mine and still continue but nothing crazy. Same JnJ. We both got it back in March.
  3. Highly recommend downloading the app. So much easier to place bets in real time and you don’t have to go back to the window to cash in your ticket, etc. The app also allows you to bet anywhere (that is legal) so you don’t have to worry about trying to run to the sportsbook right before kickoff when you’re hungover from the night before.
  4. My dad bought my mom whatever was considered the fanciest vacuum at the time and said it was from my siblings and I (we had no idea) one year. He also bought her a Lexus that same year. Solid troll job.
  5. I have HuluLive and ESPN+ and only issue I have is when spectrum fucks up and internet goes out. Love the Hulu UI. Don’t DVR shit as anything I want is on demand after the fact. Only negative is making sure I log in once a month while at home so I can watch on my phone when I travel.
  6. I used Vaxyes and it synced my vax card into my Apple wallet. No issues anywhere.
  7. My wife has a habit of ruining nice things. I typically try and find her decent brand things that where if she loses, ruins, breaks, etc that the cost is minimal for a replacement. We’re both “due” for new iPhones and iWatches. So we go to the Apple store to upgrade those and I say fuck it, I’ll get us new head phones too. Keep in mind, previously I bought her some JBL ear buds that she kept in great shape for 2 years that I got dirt cheap on a prime day. Got her the airpod pros. First flight we get on two weeks later she knocks lose her airpod and it falls out on the flight. 2 minutes later pilot gets on the PA to say buckle up it’s going to be a bumpy flight. She starts panicking and goes to grab her airpod and knocks it further into the seat. FA walks by and asks if everything is okay. I explain the situation. FA then asks to clear out our row and row behind us. We now have two rows of people standing in the aisle as the plane starts to descend for landing. FA is tearing apart the seat to find said airpod. Somehow the airpod gets lodged into the j-box where all the wiring in the seat is. FA tells us we can call maintenance when we land and they’ll come take the seat apart and then delay the flight to its final destination. We were getting off at the stop, but half the plane wasn’t. I just tell the FA we’re good, I’ll just eat the cost and buy her a new set. Apparently I was an asshole for cracking jokes and lightening the mood while several of us were standing in the aisle during a bumpy ride. To add insult to injury, during my wife’s initial panic, she spilled the guy next to hers drink on him. She also spilled her drink on me at the centurion lounge at the airport prior to our flight. Oh, and she lost a chunk of change on craps at the casino that night. Fortunately, I had a good night at the tables and cancelled out her losses. Yes, I’m an asshole because I bring up this story every time we hang out with a new group of friends since.
  8. Just got back from Vegas a couple hours ago. Uber was quick and cheap. 15 bucks to Bellagio Wed night and 13 bucks back to airport this afternoon. This trip we did Catch, Nobu and Jean-George’s. All were incredible.
  9. If you’re a golfer, Travis Mathew has a sale for 50-60% off on their website. Just need to be patient navigating it, it kept crashing.
  10. My neighbor learned how to flush his pool out in a pinch and rescued a couple other neighbors to save on damage. Ended up only having to replace 2-300 worth of easy to get parts. I recommend doing some pre-study to know the process in case it’s needed.
  11. Any idea if Milwaukee does the mount back plate as an adder? I bought a smaller one to fit between some existing stuff and was going to install a pegboard on the wall but like the idea of it being mounted to the bench to hide wood and other large objects behind it.
  12. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just didn’t update the pricing on the sign in store and when you take it to the register it would ring up at the online price.
  13. This. I’ll be there for 5 nights that weekend. Would love to buy tickets to this event, especially with it on the strip.
  14. No jinx, rented a car 4 out of the last 6 weeks while traveling and haven’t had any issues on availability. You could tell they were short, but they always had cars available.
  15. Super super premature, but considering a second property. Not sure what, everywhere from a condo in Chicago to land in middle of nowhere. Wife and I are on two different spectrums here but there’s a sweet spot on both extremes we’d agree on. Any recommendations on things to keep in mind when looking? Any gotchas? Extra costs were not thinking about? Minimum time in a place to keep in mind, etc?
  16. I just did Broadway and Bourbon street back to back weekends. Let’s see what this vax can handle.
  17. Wow. One of my neighbors is buddy buddy with our Coventry sales guy still. I’ll ask him to ask the sales guy about that.
  18. Wife and I were planning on keeping our “starter” house (were youngest in our neighborhood) for a couple more years. But how things are shaping up, we’re considering making this a longer term house and buying a small condo or property somewhere as a vacation place instead. Crazy how things have changed in the last two years.
  19. What part of Chicago? I was in the weekend before and spent most of the time in River North. Wear the mask to get inside and from there more or less free for all once you got “seated”. Went to Wrigley and had good seats behind home plate, they didn’t give much of shit. The blarts weren’t wearing a mask anywhere. Side note, (no cloak room) they were looking to be challenged. Double side note, I hope the outside tables/streets blocked off stays in the summer. A beautiful Chicago summer afternoon that shit would be awesome. We never were out there since it was cold and rainy but several people wouldn’t go inside unless to piss. Only downside was they added a 5% covid grat to all checks. You could ask to remove it, but I didn’t want to be that asshole. At least their suggested tip didn’t include that. In SF their suggested tip included all 123443 taxes then calculated the tax.
  20. Is there a chart on shots given by specific vax and by date? Curious on JnJ “acceptance” since back in the good graces of the CDC/FDA. That shot IMO seems to be the one that may get us closer to 70% since it’s one and done. But the pause of it may keep us at 65% instead of 70+
  21. So backstory, my wife’s dad passed away from cancer (pancreatic) at a young age. So I get she’s sensitive to the subject. I like the occasional dip and also smoke the occasional cigar. Typically I buy cigars in bulk (way cheaper). She always gives me shit when I buy it and says “fine enjoy your cancer”. Makes it seem like I smoke a cigar daily, instead it’s usually 2 a month. The cigars I buy I usually only smoke half of them and share the other half with whoever I smoke them with. Fast forward to yesterday we go to a cigar lounge to celebrate her brother moving close to us. She’s ripping those little cigars that look like blunts like they’re going out of style and saying how fun the cigar bar is.
  22. Highly highly highly recommend the shared calendar. My wife would make plans and not tell me until the day of. New rule in our house if it’s not on the calendar I’m not obligated to go if I don’t want to. It’s done wonders. Best part is if I go, I get extra credit and cash that shit in right away.
  23. I grew up in Southlake and most of the Karen's were not actually from Southlake. My vote is for The Woodlands. I met several people from there in college and they're insufferable. Always yelling "h-town" and saying they're from the "hoodlands". Absolute terrible tippers and expected the best service.
  24. Yup. I live in a new-ish development where people typically do the “design build” type of thing. According to the head sales guy, due to lumber costs and labor shortage, the sales team for our builder is limited to 5 new build sales a month.
  25. Cost of chips, goods, etc are skyrocketing. We have to keep raising costs of good to the market to match. Just crazy. On a personal note we’ve been buying new furniture for our house and the lead time has been crazy long.
