Thanks. Yes I know the feeling. My wife wants to rip out these bushes that are in the middle of our front yard and replace with flowers and some boulders. Have to get HOA approval. We are going to add stairs to our back  deck. Have to get HOA approval. We are going to repaint the outside of the house, have to get approval and the house can’t be the same color as any other houses within 5 houses of us in all directions. It’s a ton of houses because we are on a corner.  Insanity. 
 

Happy May all. 

 I give you guys credit. I would have lost my mind.

Happy May!  Good riddance, April.  I came down with a sinus infection on Easter, went to urgent care for it last Thursday and got an antibiotic for the ear infection that went with it.  That didn't work, just got home from a followup appt with new antibiotic to try.  Something has got to release the pressure in my head, and soon.

As any race fan knows... This. Is. May. 

 

Bring on the annual Memorial Day weekend run to Charlotte with a helping of watching the Indy 500 on TV before we take our seats at Charlotte Motor Speedway for 600 more miles of racing. 

 

One of my "sisters from another mister" unexpectedly and tragically lost her mom to a heart attack yesterday morning. She is one that is always with me in Charlotte and is now VERY much counting the days until we are together. Our group of "three musketeers" are all feeling the loss today.

Check-in in for May!  I have to say I thought the old saying was April showers bring May flowers... trying to plan a drive across a few states with stuff I don't want to get wet in my truck and there is tons of rain somewhere all the time!

Just need a tarp, bungies, and garbage bags.

Woooo! Thought I'd missed a month. Finally started new job, so far lots of training and new information. Sad to see ppl are still hired based on social skills and presentation, Wondering how far these 2 are going to get. Looks like trainer is new to position too so slow and unsure going.

I'm back to work this week after spring break last week, with 5 more weeks of school left after this week.  I always like to have productive breaks, and we did a lot of stuff, but no really big projects.  But that's okay.  We got 65 bags of mulch, and maybe about half are spread. 

 

But, I did get a new car!  That really wasn't needed or planned, but sometimes things happen.  I had picked out what I wanted, and planned to purchase in the fall.  But then I saw that the factory started shipping a new color,  and that's all it took.  So I found one in my state with the features I wanted, and checked the site every day until it arrived.  Then showed up first thing the next day!

I didn't need a car, and I feel horribly guilty, but I love it.   

 

I have always wanted a blue/navy car but when I’m on the lot car shopping I always chicken out.  ROFL!  I have no idea why either!

Happy May!

the weather has calmed down and festival season has started.

Time for a new phone.  My last phone was a Samsung S22, which I bought in 2022 as part of a carrier deal with AT&T.  Three years ago I started a 36-month contract that made the phone free after 36 monthly bill credits.  But the reality of that plan is that if I lost or accidentally destroyed my phone at any point during those 36 months, I would still have to pay the whole thing off at the full MSRP.  I didn't pay for phone insurance because that would have negated the "free" nature of the phone.  So now that the three years are up, I'm ratcheting down the level of phone I'm getting and paying cash for a new phone worth half of what the Samsung was financed for.  If I lose this phone, that's on me but since the phone is paid for it's not as big a setback as if I lost the Samsung.  So that's my May.
