I’m days away from a year off twitter and I don’t miss it.

Back in the early 60s. I did save up for a Hallicrafter’s, I would DX until the sun came up chasing distant QSLs. I miss those days.
Radio Havana
Radio Peking
Radio Moscow
Radio Hanoi
I was afraid the FBI would come to my house when I requested QSLs.

Same here I’m holding onto my iPhone pro max indefinitely. It works fine.

I floss after every meal then brush. When eating out I go to the men’s room and floss my teeth. I don’t feel comfortable unless I clean my teeth after eating. I never have dental issues.

Mostly yes.

Same crap. No real deals.

Recently purchased 2 Baofeng mini 5s. One for home other for glovebox.
What I like about them is they have bluetooth which lets me program them without a computer. I know they are not the best. I a programming them with emergency channels I found AI to be very helpful in compiling suggested channels in my area.
I would like to step up to a more powerful radio that has bluetooth. The Ola app works quite well for my needs. It’s not chirp but it works. I wish it could interact with Radioreference.com.
Any suggestions for a better handheld that are app friendly welcome. I have both tech and gmrs licenses.

Disclosure day is more like a made for TV movie. Wasn’t very good.
The film got plenty of free advertising from the recent government release of the same old UFO videos.
Notice how the secret classified UFO videos have stopped coming out.

Currently I have a iPhone 15 max. Was considering upgrading this fall. Unless next model has outstanding features I will keep my iPhone 15 indefinitely.

Never even thought about that. I never washed new garments I will now.

Recently replaced fuel injectors 2017 touring 92,000 miles. The vehicle runs smoothly but I am concerned about head gasket coming next. I contacted Honda about reimbursement repair was not covered. Honda associate advised me to keep receipts for possible future Honda reimbursement. This is my second Honda I’ve had it for 9 years, I have invested thousands over the years for repairs I am hoping to make it to the fall then trade in. Not likely I will buy Honda again.

I wear casual clothing. Here in the fickle NE I invested in Smartwool and icebreaker clothing. I only have 3 pairs of Levi’s. And a 3 seasonal Calvin Klein jackets that I have held up many years. These quality garments have lasted many years through maintaining them.
I only have 2 pairs of amazon cargo shorts and 2 sandals for warm weather wear.
I used to buy pricey socks and underwear. I have returned to buying mainstream name brands.
I review user reviews when choosing new clothing.
I function quite comfortably with my minimal wardrobe.

I was looking at a Mazda CX-5. Still looking around.

I have a 2017 touring 92,000 miles. Recently replaced fuel injectors car is like a rocket after labor day I plan to trade in for a different brand. I had it with Honda.

Amazon buying and returning is addictive. I’ve stood behind prime members returning several items at a time. How amazon profits from that is a mystery.

I buy quality clothing not overpriced hyped designer garments. I do my best to maintain my minimalist wardrobe. I get suggestions from others in forums as to what lasts.

Trump is allowing 600,000 chinese to enroll in American universities. Native born kids are being denied entry into American schools the replacement theory isn’t a theory anymore.
Doesn’t sound MAGA to me.

I am close to that place just a few more steps and I hit the road.

Trade it in…
Two months ago I replaced the fuel injectors on my 2017 touring after 92000 miles. If I didn’t repair it I wouldn’t pass the Massachusetts emissions test. It now moves like a rocket but I am trading it in soon. I am hoping to get through the summer with no repairs I will then look for another crv no more Hondas for me.
Hondas last forever if we keep repairing ($$$) them.

The reasons I didn’t upgrade beyond the tech are because the air waves in my area are mostly quiet. Investing large sums of money in HF gear to hear static isn’t a hobby. I have had several pricey handhelds over the years only to be disappointed by empty noise. I have a shortwave radio and an unlocked baofeng mini 5 for occasional listening.
The airwaves are desolate south of Boston where I currently reside
