The most important wired connections I have are between the routers/nodes in the WiFi mesh network. Also great for tv locations and office/workspaces.

Cat6 Ethernet cable run anywhere I may eventually need a wired internet device - 4x to anywhere I might place a TV (it’s cheap). Laundry/mud room with dog washing station. If building for long term - energy efficiency, it will pay itself off.

My first one is tomorrow. Had the first pills two nights ago, and will take next set later today and from what I hear tonight will be rough. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly tomorrow.

Thought about it, but by that point (and spend) - just buy a second bike. N+1 and all. Heck, I’ve got 4 bikes (mom has 3), he can have 2. Really it’s a bit of nostalgia for me (been a while since I’ve worked with a square taper bottom bracket), and something that he can enjoy and hopefully...

So the family all went for a ride on the W&OD path (paved) in northern VA this past weekend. Wife and I both on our gravel bikes, but our son on his pretty heavy Cleary Scout (24” hardtail mountain bike). 10+ miles each way and he did great with no complaining but I know he was struggling -...

Tip, no. Gifts, yes. I’m on a first name basis with everyone in my local shop. Gift cards and food delivery type gifts.

The four seasons prior to the Packers selecting Rodgers with a late first they went 12-4, 12-4, 10-6 and 10-6 making the playoffs each of those years. The Falcons, on the other hand, haven’t gotten over .500 or made playoffs in the past 6 seasons. You don’t use a top 10 pick on QB after...

I assume (given the site we’re on) you’ll be doing this for sports? I don’t have a 4x matrix, but I do have a 3 tv setup. Large 65” in the middle, flanked by smaller TVs on the sides that can be easily moved (really only used during football season). More than that and you don’t really have a...

Kid is from my hometown and wishing him the best at the next level. Doing what I can to grab him in my dynasty league.

Thanks. Gloves and scarves were big holiday gifts this year. May I ask your age? My initial colonoscopy is a few weeks away, early 40s.

Sounds eerily similar to my father’s current situation. Colon cancer a few years back, we thought surgery got it all, 7 months ago we found out it was back and now in his lungs. Initially we didn’t know if he’d still be around by Xmas as when you hear “stage 4”, you immediately fear the worst...

I mean little stuff will need fixing/tinkering, but he enjoys it. He’s got a Miata that he’s totally rebuilt currently. That said, I think the most involved fix he’s had to do was brake lines - but on a car with ~12” of ground clearance it wasn’t that bad. The V8s they put in them can quite...

He buys them used, generally with around 150-200k already on them. They apparently don’t depreciate as much after about 150k miles on them.

Yeah, my household just swapped a Chevy Tahoe for a Subaru crosstrek, and at 1,000 miles a month I estimated the gas savings to be around $1k a year, maybe, at $3.50 a gallon.

Had the initial dr visit last week, will have first ever colonoscopy early May. Got the instructions of what I can and can’t eat leading up to procedure. Doesn’t sound like fun at all.

Man, 12 mpg seems horribly low. I assume you have a V6? My late FIL had a 4 banger Tacoma and I drove it to Atlanta and back and was over 20 highway with a truck bed full of hand me down baby gear.

My RAV gets around 23 mpg. What are you getting from your Tacoma?

How much is gas where you live?! Is your alternative a Prius?

Possibly. Rule of 55 might not be available with all plans, and apparently some of them require you to pull all funds rather than just pulling income.

I’d argue that, and you just made my point for me. Your truck has 260k miles. Would you rather have a car that gets better mileage but only lasts 150k miles? Just like my 2012 rav4 with 190k miles that’s not really needed a thing (other than oil changes, brakes, tires and a water pump). My...
