What's everyone up to right now?

just come back from a beautiful swim in the bay.
Sitting in my undies until tea time.
33 degrees C.

Hummingbird smugglers?

Going over my grocery shopping list and getting ready to go out.

Chicken tenders and potato salad.

I'm trying to arrange for the work that would be needed to give this property to my inlaws - at a price I can stomach.

That way the love of my life spends less time worrying about her (already lost - to me..anyway....) mother and father...freeing her up to get back to worrying about how she and I are going to build a multi generational home that can hold us, our children, and our children's children. Something that our current property just couldn't do, even though it's perfectly well suited to two geriatric seditionists with a few years to live between them.

She hates it every time I say that.

Bad news last week - there's literally no way to build a traditional septic that supports six assholes, let alone twenty two, on this land. We might be able to manage two. We'll be able to get the dead vegetation out (that's this weekend) for cheap, otoh, so it's give and take. I think we've already hit the limit of productivity. Can't replace either of our incomes with the land - but we can sure as shit replace a social security check-as-only-income. Still waiting to hear on whether or not the bulging basement wall is a real issue or just cosmetic. I expect it to be cosmetic and expensive. I undercut and dug jacked pillars in when we bought it.

I'm going over some low-calorie recipes for chicken salad. I've gained a few pounds over the past four months and I'd like to lose them by the end of April.

Trying to get that swimwear summer body ready, huh?

Gwaithmir! Don't stress... It's not you! I just watched a documentary about the universe is expanding!

I can prove it independently also because my old jeans from 20 years ago are extra tight now too!

Paying through the nose for a new graphics card. A used Asus STRIX GTX 970. The total came to $270 with tax and shipping. That's about $75 more than I'd have paid for something comparable before the pandemic took off.

^ 1K top end cards are now going for 3K if you can even find them.
50% scalping due to pandemic supply chain shortages and 50% bitmining epidemic.

I'll bet the majority of those cards are going to miners. Few gamers have three grand to drop on a GPU.
