Started a new hobby - working with leather. I need a lot more practice and tools before I will be able to make anything worthwhile.

Another visit to the eye doctor - could be on the drops 'indefinitely'; things are improving slightly, but shingles can do a real number on your eyes.

Rain, rain, and more rain. I stayed home and wrote a long letter to a friend in Scotland.

Where? I skied yesterday at Keystone and it was groomed powder and packed powder. I haven't skied in a foot of powder for years. Sounds like fun!

Purgatory - 9" last night, and it snowed a few more during the day. It was light, too! More on the way all weekend.

I turned down a chance to go to Monarch today. I thought I would be too tired after skiing Thursday. I was right, but Monarch would have been pretty good but not a foot of fresh powder!

Hmmm - mine was in that cost ballpark several years ago in the good old USA. And not covered BUT my wife's was free from her mega corp supplemental retirement insurance.

Spent my last day at work, followed by a wonderful retirement dinner. I am free at last.

Stopped by the Toyota dealership to look at a Highlander, which should be perfect, and coincidentally will just bring my asset allocation back into line if I sell some small/midcap funds. I can't believe what they want for accessories, though. Will buy a hitch and roof rack on Amazon.

Bought it on DVD at the neighborhood kiosk. Saw it last night (trying to avoid Trump coverage). I agree. What a difference 50 years makes...

We drove over to Monarch for the first time last year. One of the all time coldest days I've ever had skiing! I think it was like 18 below. I liked the mountain, but that place can get brutally cold.

Replaced the battery in my 2003 Taurus. Needed to call AAA last night because car wouldn't start. Drove home and parked. Took motorcycle to auto parts store and rode it home with battery strapped to the seat. Changed battery and drove car to auto parts store to get core credit.
This stuff was a lot easier when I had 2 cars -
