Never thought I would be an Apple guy but I gave up on PCs about ten years ago. My 10 year old MacBook Pro is a tank. I have upgraded the RAM and installed a SSD. Runs like new. When it’s time to replace I will definitely get another Mac. My last several PCs ended up being junk and Windows 7...

I’ve had good luck with Delta and Moen. I will never buy another Price Pfister product…

Love Snake River Farms! Their Wagyu brisket is incredible!

Loved him in The Doctor. One of my favorite movies…

Our house had two conventional tank water heaters that needed to be replaced. For about the same dollar amount we replaced them with one tankless heater. The brand is Navien. So far we are incredibly pleased. We’ve had it for about 18 months and it’s great…

So we have SS and pension income, in addition to our investments. Basically the total dollar amount of our budgeted MONTHLY expenses (less monthly pension payment amount and less monthly social security payment amounts) is auto transferred from FIDO at the beginning of each month. That...

I’m reminded of all the quotes I’ve heard over the years about standing up to bullies…

Agreed! Why don’t they call it what it really is…. revenue enhancement!

Congratulations on your anniversary! I just realized the anniversary of my 3rd year of freedom was last month. Time flies! Retirement has been truly awesome…

Depends on which one you talk to in our house. DW can’t go one day without turning the !@&$ thing on. When I am home I mostly watch programs on YouTube, read or listen to music…

Congratulations!! [emoji322][emoji898][emoji323]

We have three Roku devices and one Roku TV. All of them have worked great the whole time we’ve had them. No issues…

I have two old Play 1’s a Play 3 and a Sonos bridge. They explained in the upgrade instructions that the up conversation is permanent. You can’t go back. That said there were no problems with the upgrade. They function as well as they ever did except now they are recognized as S2 devices and run...

I was in the same boat at one point, but there was a software upgrade they sent out that did a permanent up-conversion for my older equipment. They are now all S2…

Our one smart tv is a Samsung but the selection of streaming apps available for download is pretty limited. We use ROKU devices for all of our TVs except for one TV that is actually a ROKU TV that we purchased on a deep discount. We’ve had zero problems or complaints with ROKU…

Agreed. I’ve been a Sonos user for 6yrs? 7yrs?, and IMHO their speakers are so well made that the only thing needed is the occasional software update. I did expand my system about a year ago and added 2 additional speakers that are Apple play compatible to add sound to another room of the...

Bingo!

I would love to downsize but DW loves her things and the size of our too big house…

All I can say is that’s the government for you. I remember years ago, I was at the post office the day after a stamp price increase went into effect to mail a letter certified. There were of course huge lines in the post office, and the branch manager appeared behind the counter from in back...

We have not had a “land line” for 10 years. We absolutely don’t miss it…

Two solid ones for me. Lead by example, and hire people smarter than you and then get out of their way…

Like that’s a bad thing? I obviously don’t want to sit around in a rocker waiting to die but at the same time it’s blissful not to be constantly stressed out like I was at w!ork. I’m more than happy to err on the “life” side of the “whole work/life balance” equation…

Ditto. Retired 3 years, still wake up anywhere from 4:30 - 6 depending on the day. I simply wake up and know that there is no going back to sleep…
