This.

Everyone post some good news.
The spawn made some killer chocolate chip cookies last night. Not great for my waistline, but I’m glad he’s doing more than just play video games.

When this is all over, let’s rent a park pavilion somewhere and day drink a Saturday away.

Ah yes, the classic 90mph on the shoulder pass in bumper to bumper traffic. That is very MD
Remember on our way back from PDRBQ, so many close calls thanks to :derp: s, I'll never forget that Prius one where I flashed my beams to let him in, featuring hard braking.

This weekend I'll start painting and will probably end up painting my house myself. Materials will be about $1500 for new siding plants, and soffit boards.

I'm not sure what I'll replace that old metal awning with. Maybe something else like that.
Its satisfying to do what needs to get done for a fraction of the cost of a contractor, I'm fully taking advantage of the free time man. Good luck with the painting BTW.

I read a solid book recently called The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, we should all read it. It's amazing! One of the key take aways is the statement a famous writer offered, to get an extraordinary novel written he simply pushed himself to write down 200 mediocre words per day. That's it! Eventually the day came where the genius began to pour out, and 200 words suddenly turned into hundreds of pages of magic.
I'm beginning to put this logic into practice and it really does get me off my ass. 5/7 logic
Killer book. Highly recommend. Also, to anyone with anxiety in these times, I’d recommend You 1, Anxiety 0, it can be a little fruity, but a good read.

The new :doge: has been keeping us busy, plus all the other things I'm finding time for now. I know the :doge: will be limiting at times, never wanted one, but now that he's here... :wub: :wub: :wub:

I'm sure it is by now with the current owner who probably a Gen Z and just wants to send the GTI with 8th gen si commuter cars. I really hope my mk7 goes to a good owner :doe:
