Thinking of you, @4077.

PS - as a reminder, DW and I headed out to Goodyear AZ in Feb 2024 for a bucket list trip of mine. We saw the Tribe play 7 games in 7 days of spring training and pulled the Aliner there and back. Would love to do it again but it's a long way to be sure. I had a thread about it including food/hot dogs in each stadium. Have to find that thread ....

Hah... so glad to see you have one of your own... I can feel less guilty about enjoying ours (I'm not sure my son would forgive me giving it away )

Well i have my knee injections scheduled for Wed Mar 5. they are going to do both knees at the same appointment. I am good, i just want to get it done. I ended up doing self pay because it was going to be over double the cost of self pay to put it through insurance.

Birthday week recap:

Last week I celebrated my latest trip around the sun. The week started with Melissa and I heading out to look at a new car for her on Monday. This was a planned purchase as Jess is now driving, and we opted to let Lauren use the 2022 Kia when she got back and to take to college next year.

We picked a blue one this time and made a pretty good deal on the top of the line trim. Pretty sure this one was so discounted it cost us as much as we bought our 2022 back when you pretty much paid MSRP if you where lucky.




Hoping this one gives us trouble free use as the 2022. It defintely has all the fancy cameras and sensors Melissa could ever ask for.



With the new ride precured, we had a riveting week of work, a HS orchestra concert, and finally my birthday. It was low key with a weekday birthday plus an at the office day. However, that did not stop my family from making it feel special.



And yes I wore that shirt to the office for my birthday. Over the weekend we went out to our favorite winery for a quarterly wine pickup and enjoyed the nice weather for the day before the rain and snow arrived on Sunday. That did put a damper on our plan, however, that just gave Melissa and I a chance to work on a new puzzle. We started this one Friday evening and picked at it through the weekend with most of the work done Sunday.



Only a few weeks before the racing season starts, so hopefully things will warm up soon so I can get the RV washed and prepped for the track.

Happy Birthday, James!

Congrats on the new car. I had one of those as a rental in one of my trips south last year and was pleasantly surprised. It was decent for a rental. It also had the cameras, lane detection and some other nanny assists. I'd rent one again.

And love the shirt. We are a little too conservative in my office to get away with wearing that, but it would be under my dress shirt.
