That sounds like a nice day off. The Costco executive membership is well worth it. It's a little less peopley during those earlier hours. I was shocked to see that BTC bump yesterday but it seems like

Congratulations on your tenth! There are many of us originals around here anymore.

Definitely chalanting. The process has gotten better over the years but it's still archaic. Things like this are the one place AI would be super helpful—to help guide you or make necessary changes to your

It's more problematic when the books are just around 100 pages because you're dealing with a narrow spine. Any page count above that is easier.

The first weekend! That's great. I had a feeling our condo would sell fast because it was one of the only "newer" buildings in a historic Victorian neighborhood so that made it unique/desirable.

I just did a little research and they're not $20 anymore. They START at $39 and go up from there depending on weight. Everything seems to be 2-4x more expensive now.

Very minor in the grand scheme. There's always this fine-tuning, even if you work with their templates. The biggest one we're running into is the spine's too small for the book's title. The only way to

We moved out of the cities in the fall of 2024 but had to drive in for errands and appointments last winter. It was a pretty crazy time! I've been well. Trying to keep busy and stay fit. I'm releasing

That's all good advice. We're definitely going to be more choosy the next time. I think the next time I'd like to buy some land and build a brand new place. I'd even consider some of the newer pre-fab

Thanks! Mold can so easily spread if it's not taken care of.

Thank you! You certainly can save a lot of money doing things yourself!

Being back at work it must really make it feel like summer is coming to a close! I'm seeing little glimpses of fall already out here, that always makes me want to wring out every last bit of fun from summer.

So good to see you back. It seems like you're in a good place now—whenever the creativity is flowing it feels amazing. The new project sounds very interesting! Ouch, I've never heard of that stapling ritual.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I've had similar feelings during significant transitional moments in my own life. It can be quite disconcerting and sometimes it can force you to question if you're on

Thank you! I haven't shared much about the problems we've encountered but there have been so many! Wow, that astrologer was spot-on! That sounds like a complete nightmare to have battled those kinds of

Same. There are certain things I just won't tackle anymore. I think as we get older we're more astute about our "known unknowns". Oh no! Thankfully our ceiling didn't collapse but it probably

It's been quite an adventure for us! I'm glad your nephew spotted that issue. I'll do a lot more vetting the next time we need a home inspector. The particular one we hired just came recommended by our

Thanks!

Definitely!

Absolutely. The tricky thing in our case was we weren't sure what work had been done and what hadn't. The furnace wasn't original to the home and neither was the hot water heater. Just a case of bad timing,
