Added one more monitor to my office setup.

Yes I actually use all 4 and still think it’s not enough.

For the house, I ordered a new docking station so can have the same setup. I don’t work from home all that much, but when I do, I need all the screen real estate I can get. 

Just order one giant monitor and use MS Power Tools to arrange the real estate.

I checked with IT and they didn't have any more curved monitors. And since we're already in the red on our G&A expenses, I didn't want to charge any more. Maybe I'll switch it up next year.

That happened with me about 40 years ago but with golf after reading Jack Nicklaus' book "Golf My Way."  I have been able to hit long and straight ever since. 

I had that video in the 70’s. It was my bible for learning how to swing a golf club. I never had the money to have enough lessons to learn the golf swing properly so that was the best I could afford. 

Interestingly, that video was missing some critical bits of information about the swing that I never learned over the next 50 years. Finally 10 months ago I embarked on the journey to truly learn the right golf swing. I’m still not there, but I’m getting closer. That video started it all.

We're prepping our house for a sale and fixing all of the little bugs so that it presents perfectly. Things like sagging door / sticky door frames, recaulking some tiles and such.

Knocked it all out of the way over the last weekend and it was so goddamn easy and fast I just kinda wonder why I was so lazy to tackle it earlier when we were using the goddamn house.

We just knocked our list before my knee surgery.  Cold front passed through, and our Cypress tree takes a lightning strike.  Now, I have a tree that needs some attention.  Oh, but wait!  As if that isn't enough, the collateral damage includes blower motor in the air handler, robot vac, fried a GFCI, and a Kuerig.  We replaced the coffee pot immediately.  Priorities first.  It has all been repaired or replaced, but the F'n tree.

maybe buy some lotto tickets on behalf of the tree

^^^ Might cut down the tree and turn it into a table.

We flew a drone over the haus and saw nothing invasive or damaged.  The AC guy and I eventually noticed the tree didn't have a pointy top in it and some bark blown off.  Best guess is the strike traveled underground to our ground rod at the main breaker box and back fed the box.  Thus, making for all the weirdness in the haus.  As I've heard before electricity does some strange shit sometimes.
