Yep! Same. Good low alcohol option.

I've been drinking Athletic Lite with a splash of bloody mary mix, like Phroig. I haven't found any NA that do it for me and most have higher calories and carbs. Athletic Lite is 25 calories and 5 g carbs. I have also been drinking Sierra Nevada Hop Splash - hop-infused sparkling water...

Added on to first house, built second house, and fully gutted and remodeled current house, all with very little or no contractor help. As eyesight diminished in my 50s DIY became less and less appealing. 64 now, and in the last couple of years I have tried to hire things out but work rarely...

Personally I would not do it considering the risks, but to each their own. Perhaps a more important reason would be the potential affect on children and grandchildren. Is this really the "solution" that you want to lead them to by example?

Please pick another sport/hobby. The golf courses have already been way too busy in the last 1-1/2 years since so many are "working from home."

Been RE for just over 2 years. Renewed Civil PE last year just in case, although I doubt I will need it again. Will look into retirement status next year when renewal comes again. Also had Project Management Professional (PMP) certification that I let expire due to ongoing education...

Uh, WOW! Agree with skills etc. Not my taste, but if it was the price is actually a bargain.

Congratulations! You are almost there. I remember that meeting for me (27 months ago) was such a relief. It all got real. Enjoy!

I absolutely obsessed over the numbers for the last couple years before RE. Never had anybody else look at them. All is well.

Thank you OP - Very timely post for me. Doing similar for DS and DDIL. It will be a gift for the reasons stated by many above - less complicated. I suppose I should track it for future inheritance but then I have to somehow value all of the sweat equity I applied to other DS house. Thank you...

Recently finished The Great Influenza by John Barry. Interesting look at the 1918 pandemic - the history of medicine during the era, key players with a focus on the medical folks, and the unfolding of the disease. A bit surreal how similar much of it was compared to today.

Currently reading, The Great Influenza, about the 1918 pandemic. Very interesting read written by one of the experts being cited today - John Barry. Given the depth of the coverage in the book of the subject I have no issue suggesting he is an expert on the subject. I would expect some...

Like most others, down significantly. Primarily down because of canceled trips, no restaurants, less driving, and no gym costs. Groceries up slightly since eating all meals at home, but that is more than offset by savings.

Garmin here. I like it a lot. Was looking for something that could do both running and golf. It does these very well, and so much more.
