It still feels like grinding the gears to spend like that, but what's the $ for anyway?

Xmas has begun. Presents for family, friends, daycare, boss, neighbors, hosting xmas party, secret santas, decorations, xmas baking, xmas cards and stamps, xmas events like Santa Train Holiday Train, Tree Lighting ceremonies, candy canes, wreathes and porch xmas plants. We donate a lot to vets and I lose my voice ringing the bell every year to offset the Glutony.
We pay for all of this with the Credit Card rewards we built up over the year on both Freedoms, and my Amazon cards points. Makes the outflow manageable without really affecting cash flow.

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd pay $110 for a sweatshirt with a hood attached, AKA a " hoodie". But I made up my mind last Monday at the gym, where in spite of doing a full workout I left here feeling colder than when I went in because they keep the temperature too low. For me anyway. Others seem comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt, but I also see others like me in long pants and flannel shirts, and a few people in sweatshirts. And I'm still cold. So it was either this or find a new gym and I like everything else about the place.
This sweatshirt is one made by Milwaukee Electric and is heated. A few weeks ago I bought two of their heated jackets (one for DW) and I liked that so much I had no reservations about buying this. My initial impressions are that it is well made and fits well. While I haven't worn it outside of the house yet (it was just delivered this evening) it fits under the jacket and I'm gonna be toasty warm when outside THIS winter!

Sounds great. But doesn't that long-@ss extension cord get in your way?

Naw, there's an outlet right behind the treadmill. Things could get awkward if the cord wraps around the rollers though....

Nah, with Li-on batteries, all he has to worry about is it catching on fire (with him in it).

Dropped about 30Grand redoing our home. Booked Eastern Europe trip for May 2020, opting to do our own airfare (business class). Will do our usual Fort Lauderdale vaca and cruise above and beyond Eastern Europe. Going to a lot more plays and other entertainments.
And after 35 frustrating years will throw in the towel and hire some sort of lawn service that can figure out how to grow grass in my backyard.
One LBYM-type action: DW still won't let me buy that $7500 Cervelo bicycle.

Taylor makes great guitars. I have a walnut 414ce and everyone in my bands wants to play it when they come over.

Replaced all interior and exterior and patio French, garage doors on a 40 year old house. While not necessarily blow that dough amount of money, the doors are still in good shape. I had them all replaced because we could. Love the new antique bronze handles too.

Vincenzo, I will wave at you in February from Cartagena, Colombia, LOL! Just booked a month long trip in Colombia for January/February. I can't really call it a vacation since I am retired now and everyday is a vacation. I prefer to say that I am lspending a month living like a local in South America.
