Imagine having a call option coming due this month in Tesla. I’d be so mad, even if this may end up being noise in a few weeks.

Just got the call I was dreading. My dog def has cancer. It spread to her lymph nodes. If we get the ulcer and infection down she can start meds to help her out and she can have 6 months.

And the SEC should bring the hammer down on him. This isnt the first time he's done this

Thanks. Got some better news today from the vet. Anywhere from 6-18 months. Just depends on how she takes to her meds. So, still not great, but better than thinking the worst.

Got out on the golf course yesterday, finally. Shot a 42 (only played 9). I'll take it for not having played in so long. Left a bunch of putts out there...

You know you're getting older when you're so excited to try out your new pots and pans you just bought.
Also want to add that due to quarantine this is probably the most exciting thing I've done since March lmao

I'm quite sure I would be happy if all I did was fish every day for the rest of my life:

Awesome. Did you tape him? He looks like he's push 20''. I have off next week going up to the upper Delaware. Can't wait.I'm quite sure I would be happy if all I did was fish every day for the rest of my life:

Nah, didn't measure. I honestly didn't really want a picture, but my buddy insisted. I only agreed because the fish wasn't too tired out and was fairly calm.

That's a nice fish...it's always nice to have a pic for the memory. I have been keeping them in a net in the water lately to snap the pic...but I take pictures of everything. Bugs, birds, the stream and bank...I really enjoy going back a year later and remembering a certain day.

I hear ya. I've just never been that guy. I love taking pictures of nature, but don't like being the subject. And I've never been one to care if anyone knows I caught anything either. But the fish are pretty, so I don't mind showing a couple now and then if I'm forced to be in a couple.

fun on weekly outings for groceries and booze…
i saw that someone put a mitre saw on the side of the road with a sign that read "FREE"
im driving by and i think …."**** it…..ill stop and take it"
///
…i get home and plug it in, hit the trigger…………..'gerrr…gerr…..'
the breaker trips…...
the blade wouldnt even spin by hand when it was off
so….might as well drive back to where i got the thing and put it right back? yes!
…until i couldnt remember which of the three driveways it was on and didnt want to look like i was leaving 'garbage' at someone else's curb……
….i took it home (again)……..then thought…….shit…….ill take it apart and fix it
………….turned out that some thin brittle plastic crap from within the saw that deteriorated jammed the motor…….still a couple of hours with all the remembering of the sequence and sorting of parts/screws
…all mechanical…….basically a teardown to the core with cleaning and some cutting away of said extraneous crap
///
it was fun for a motor fixin' virgin

And now you have a free saw. Doing stuff like that is the best if you have some ability to fix stuff. Most people don't and throw things out for no reason. I snagged a grill that a neighbor had put out. A big 5 burner type. One of the burners was rotted out and the tank was seized onto the hose. Replaced burner and got new hose for propane and had a new grill. I love fixing stuff though.

yep, free is always great …..on a related note i bought a full sized dewalt back in the fall for super cheap with a stand (for actual jobs) but its too big for quick setup and for space for my wood shop out back……this little 10" saw is perfect for back there, light and easy to store under in a cabinet
so, i look at it as 2 saws for $565
..and ya, love fixin' and buildin' shit too

I am officially 1/3 of the way through my Master's degree and somehow still have a 4.0 GPA. I have no idea how I am doing this.

Anyone here a kayaker? I'm thinking of getting a fishing kayak for some of the smaller lakes/ponds around here. Would love some recommendations.
