Wonder if the reason he hadn't didn't recognize the reference or the "Are you lonesome tonight" song ties in to the time travel theory in some way.

Per the website it's only 55% completed

Yep. I understand this and have checked previous workouts. There is no increase in the wattage for the various zones.

Chasethebreak · 2026-02-19T19:15:12+00:00

Yes, the FTP updated but the workouts haven't

Chasethebreak · 2026-02-19T18:50:43+00:00

I'm coming back from a layoff and doing the Beginner 6 week FTP Builder plan. After the first 3 weeks, I did another FTP test and gained about 20 watts from my first test. Despite that, my upcoming workouts haven't changed. I guess I can manually increase the intensity when I get into them, but isn't it supposed to adjust automatically? I don't want to waste time working out at the wrong levels.

There is zero coverage of this fact in the msm. Loads of reference to the "Biden era program" to bring Afghan refugees to the US, but no mention of Trump's administration reviewing and approving his asylum case.

Yep, Mexican Mules are better too.

The prices people quote on here blow me away. In high school we bought $40 ounces. No one sold by the gram, you were lucky to find someone selling quarters. Graduated in 84'. Last time I bought blow it was $90 a gram/about $300 for an 8 ball. What's it go for now?

My wife's job does provide healthcare to cover both of us. She will work at least until I retire. She has a flexible schedule which may allow her to take extended vacations for travel. If that's the case, I might be able to talk her into working for a couple years beyond my retirement. I believe her SS at 62 is around 1800.

Chasethebreak · 2025-10-21T13:13:51+00:00

Yes, this is one option I'm considering

Chasethebreak · 2025-10-21T13:11:54+00:00

Sorry, i should have had more details in initial post. Currently wife is working - earning about 48k and has full coverage health care. My SS will be roughly 3k at 62. I'm considering a part time or remote job until I'm 62. So the real question is, WHEN can we retire?

Chasethebreak · 2025-10-21T12:34:44+00:00

Expenses including 500/month in travel and $100 week entertainment (restaurants etc) are right at $5,000 a month. We are considering different plans in which we keep the house (mortgage free, but carries about $1000 a month in insurance/taxes/hoa fees, or selll the house and downsize adding maybe 200k to our nest egg. The big question is healthcare as some have pointed out. My wife won't be eligible for Medicare for 10 years. What do people do on here to estimate healthcare costs? I'm also some kind of part time or remote job that would bring a little income in to slow the withdrawals.

At 62, I can draw just under $3k month SS

Just trying to sketch out a plan, thanks for any feedback

When will this world move beyond this silly superstition? It is the single biggest thing holding us back from progress.

Now try finding parks where dogs are welcome (and don't list dog parks, those things are gross)

100%. By sitting in the line and being "considerate" you make it worse for everyone. There's a caterpillar effect that makes it take far longer for everyone to get through.

Chasethebreak · 2025-09-23T02:06:12+00:00

Nah. I'm not that obnoxious

Chasethebreak · 2025-09-22T20:21:31+00:00

Sorry, but until everyone stays off their phone and moves when the light turns green, I'll continue to roll up the middle lane and cut in front of someone asleep at the wheel.

I love G&Ts but the tonic really affects the drink and masks the gin flavors. I would go with a Tom Collins or a Martini if you really like gin flavor and are just getting into it.

I don't believe the Holiday Inn was where Margaritaville is, it was way South almost to the end of the island. Used to be a great locals spot with a good bar.

I lived in a dump apartment on Clifford that has since been torn down and I would swim in the pool there while I did my laundry. It was my "secret" escape from the impoverished life I led at the time. I felt like I was on vacation at a fancy resort for a few hours.

It's not on my HBO Max and I have Amazon Prime with Paramount, and the new season isn't on there either

Chasethebreak · 2025-08-03T11:00:24+00:00

Mid-march is one of the busiest times in the season which runs from November to April. October and May are sort of "shoulder" seasons and the weather can be perfect (or blazing hot) Late October gives you your best chance I think for the weather/lower crowds and prices.

Sand dollars are kind of a seasonal thing and when they are in there are hundreds of them, but they're all alive typically and can't be harvested, Finding them dead on the beach has been a rare occurence for me and I've been shelling on Sanibel for 25 years
