Okay not sure when this happened but Spotify has numerous quality levels now and I was at 96 kbps and am now using lossless. I thought things were sounding flat before.

Well did you specifically select 'crackhead' from the Heart-Valve Menu at the Hospital?

- Athlete
- Crackhead
- Liberal
- Hippy

Crackhead all the way.

It apparently shows up and they have a fridge for them. Think I can ask who it might have come from?

I change my own tires in fall\spring and buying a good jack makes all the difference. I used to just use the scissor jack from the cars and they are so bad. Last fall I got so frustrated with it I went and got a good jack in the middle of it. It was night and day how much better it was. I just changed the tires this weekend and again I was so happy that I did that.

Like a little vending machine?

Sparx skate sharpener. It in no way saves money but it saves a lot of time and it is fun to go into the basement with a couple beers and 3 sets of skates and run them through the machine.

I wanted one of those about 6 years ago but not allowed. Would have saved a tonne of money and time going to no sweat.

More recently it's been a half decent robot vacuum.

Manually vacuuming is for chumps and plebs now!

Probably going to get a separate one for the 2nd floor next. Man that's life changing honestly.

It tends to spark a lot of conversation. I ranted about Tool for about 2 hours last Friday over a few drinks at my house. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE IS???

Thanks for the answer. Could do without you yelling at me, but ok. The answer is yes.

The central vac that came with our house is in the garage, we never really used it. So i repurposed it as my garage vac, disconnected it from the tubing going into the house and everything,

If you have vinyl or hardwood, the Costco mop / robot vacuum has been great.

Currently using 2 things that I thought are suitable for the list:
A standing desk & a walking pad.

If been in queue for World Cup Tickets the last 90 minutes and it's sure nice to get some light walking in vs just sitting around the whole time.

We're probably close to retiring current one (2 years old, not that model), which is not such a long time, but it has mopped lifetime total over half million sq ft of floors, so not doing that by hand definitely makes me feel good.

Back in June I bought a seat to attach to my bike, so now I can take the dog when I ride.
He hates being left home alone, him and I have done just over 800 kms together.
Best purchase Ive made in years.

You made a tandem bike for you and your dog?

No its a seat with a harness for dogs, it attaches to the seat post. Sits over the top tube between me and the handlebars.

Don't you know you are supposed to bike with your dog on a leash so it can dart all over the place while you slow to a crawl, teeter around, and apologize to everyone near you? If you are real lucky you can get some excitement when they spot a squirrel.

Absolutely it does. I do a big clean maybe once a month at my place, and even with a dog the robo mop / vacuum gets 90% of the day to day mess cleaned up. The hours of cleaning that it saves is easily worth the price. I’ve had to use the Costco return for a robo vacuum once because the last ones homing sensor gave out and it wouldn’t dock / empty out its contents any more.
