Today was a good day because _________

Our blended families meet went really well. So stoked. Got one big family now. Kids get a long from both sides. Now we need to find a bigger home. Preferably with a large pool.

You can actually try fitting any of the tips they sell so I found the perfect set. I could've spent a day in there. Multiple stories and each floor with different gear from basic earphones (wireless and wired) to tons of stuff like super high end headphones and amps I have only read about in online reviews because most of this stuff isn't sold in storefronts in the US. Best part of it is you can actually demo almost everything they sell and for me that's bliss. Bring your own source of music and plug away or use their stuff. My wallet is burning a hole in my pocket.

There are a couple of items on my shortlist and I may have to make my way back there tomorrow before someone snaps them up. Used but in mint condition stuff and discounted. May have to upgrade my Digital Audio Player(DAP).

As seen on a couple of photos, one of the players is damn near $4k. Boy does it sound good though.

That high res Sony!

Woo Hoo, gets to go home. Just in time, only one more meal dose of insulin left. APPARENTLY even though I didn't get to pack them, I brought an empty

...we got our old bench back after refinishing. It looked like hell after 15+ years of sitting out in the weather. The wood was gray and the metal parts were rusty and stained. The guy who put down the paving bricks you see also did the refinishing. He offered to refinish the bench for $50. I think I'll pay him a good bit more than that.

I have two benches that look like yours used to.

Had my 6 month cardiologist appointment yesterday and everything was fine, so today is a good day for me

It's going to be 2 years in June since I had my heart attack 💔

Best of luck to you, Dino. My mom died young from a heart attack then a stroke. I was there for the heart attack. It was scary to watch. Take care of yourself.

Thank you

Yeah I was 54 and didn't expect it. I thought I was pretty healthy, used to run, did some weight lifting, etc. I guess bad habits when you're younger catch up to you sooner or later.

Sorry about your mom.

I had some bad habits when I was young.

Hopefully my good habits now make up for it.

Something about a nice-looking bench just speaks to me. I could lay on that all day long.

All this talk of dynguses, drenchings and pussy willow whippings is sending me naughty vibes. I may need to use my dyngus to whip and drench the pussy…..willows.

My view from the lounge chair

Also, half a bottle of champagne in. Anniversary is off to a good start!

I could walk this morning after about 10 steps to rip the plantar loose. I played soccer last night then it tightened up over night

Scored my first goal of the season, and I was playing left fullback

Setting small goals (no pun intended) is a good thing. Plantar is not a good thing.

It hurts every Saturday morning, even if I happen to wear the boot

Orthopedic told me if I really asked nicely he would cut me open, but didn't recommend it. His wife had the procedure and now has a nicer scar, but no relief (he didn't do her cutting)

Have you tried the OTC heel cup shoe inserts yet? I used to suffer from plantar fascititis, and those blue plastic heel cup thingies made it go away as long as I kept using them in all of my shoes/sneakers/boots.....
