Happy September. Yes, it won't be too long until the Black Friday leaks start...followed by the inevitable articles that point out that Black Friday doesn't exist anymore because this one started their sales two weeks earlier, and that this other one will have deals every week right up until Christmas. So it will never be the same...and that's OK. A good deal is a good deal, whether it's for one day, one weekend, online or in-store. If you have something on your Wish List, know what the price is today and watch for it to go on sale! I'm looking for a 15.6" laptop with a Ryzen processor with backlit keyboard and a bright display for under $700. Believe it or not, finding one with a bright-enough display is the hard part! I need 300 nits on the display, minimum. Drop me a link here if you see anything.

Another month, another post--Happy August to all who remain.

Another month, another post. Happy July!

I actually made a hotel reservation, this month.

Well, it's May and I've already lost the lawn battle. Weeds and grub damage again here in Upstate NY, even after treating at the right time in the right way. On we go!

April showers bring monthly posts to this thread. Thank you--I'm here all year.

Happy March and all that...from Upstate NY.

Happy February, all. Biting cold weather in Upstate NY, today.

TBH, January 11th feels like December 42nd.

December's post...DONE. Hey 2020--buh-bye. I said BUH-BYE.

I'm in. Setting up my Google Calendar reminder right now.

#1--"We were two years old when we started this trip. That was a LONG line." #2--"DOUBLE-A BATTERIES! DOUBLE-A BATTERIES!" #3--"A CONTACT lens--I dropped a CONTACT lens! Do you see it? Anyone? Just look down!"

#1--"And finally tonight, in an unusual Black Friday promotion, Best Buy awarded their entire store to the first guy in line. His entire neighborhood was called in to carry the building home." #2--"Are you ready out there?? THREE...TWO..ONE...UH--A HALF...A QUARTER--I'm just kidding, folks, you still got a half-hour to wait in the rain. I crack myself up, sometimes..." #3--"JIMMY!! JIMMY! I'm in the red coat, see me? OO-WOO!! Yes, right here by the register! Get the--JIMMY, LISTEN--are they DVD R-PLUS or R-MINUS?? Only the R-MINUS is on sale! Get two! JIMMY! Get two--I'm holding up the line! HURRY!"
