Can you tell from the data it collects that you had sex? I mean does a graph/chart indicate here you were probably rolling over in your sleep? Here, bow chika bow wow?

I found my wallet.


Right where I left it. Sunday.

Have you seen my leatherman? I can't find it.

[captainhook455]

Really? Jim sent me one for my birthday.

Do you still have the holster?

[glatt]

Nope. I lost it all.

It's a black holster too. Nice and stylish and impossible to find in the bottom of a bag.

The last place I remember using it was on the scout trip, but I was careful to put it in my checked bag. Maybe it's still in that bag when I put it away. Seems unlikely though.

It's not like me to lose stuff.

I went to a place that sells returns/overstocks/closed store sellouts and found a set of computer speakers by Philips for $10. They even came w/a little tiny sub-woofer. I ain't gonna disturb the neighbors, or anything, but, they sound pretty damn good for little tiny speakers.

Woot!

Not a fucking thing, not one fucking thing.

I've reached a point in life where a birthday is just another day, I don't get all excited like when I was a kid, nor do I dread getting older because I'm pretty much enjoying life as I age.

Yesterday, the 25th was my 61st birthday and I did something I have never done before. I bought a brand new "off the lot" vehicle. My whole adult life I have only ever bought used cars. Mostly because I couldn't afford a brand new one and I tend to be kind of cheap with things like cars. Used has been fine, the car needs to stop and start and have good air conditioning.

But since my wife's pre-retirement bonuses came in upon the sale of her company and we have paid off all our debt we felt the time was right for a new car to take us into retirement when that happens. A car payment was not in the cards before but now is ok, we got a really good interest rate and the wife says it will be fine. My wife still drives her company lease car with the lease good for another 18 months. After that she might buy it or just get another lease car, she plans to retire in 2020 so her ride is taken car of for a few years.

I decided to get a Ford F150 pickup with the 4x4 Lariat Super Crew Cab package and added the top trim package with most of the bells and whistles. Having a pickup makes it easier for camping, fishing or going to the lumber yard and the cab is big enough for 4 passengers to ride comfortably. The bed is rhino lined and has a folding torneau top that locks and is pretty moisture resistant.

Congratulations! Nice and shiny. Sweet ride.

Nice, although a tough color to keep clean.

Well, I didn't want black or white or red so then you are more limited as some models only ship with certain colors to choose from. I've always favored blue and the other blue is much lighter, this one was the best of the choices on the lot.

Kind of a cool feeling when I got the email indicating we had paid off my AMEX bill in full.
