It’s funny, I think of Macklemore as new/current but he was big almost 10 years ago :lolol: :wap:

We spent NYE dinner on the patio of a small eatery at St Pete Beach with Stromboli, Greek salad and beer. Went to see fireworks after, it was crazy foggy so you could barely see them but it was really cool to hear the huge booms and the fog light up in crazy colors, super unique. We were on the street right at the beach where they set them off, was neat.

Then we went to a beach bar and hung out on a deck with live music/margs. ‘Twas 5/7 but we were asleep at 11.

Our flight home yesterday was canceled but it worked out amazingly well. Allegiant Air gave us $500 (we didn’t even ask/complain as this is basically par for the course flying now)! So we got a free extra day of vacation. Would definitely recommend Allegiant.

Our plans today with my family were canceled anyway since it sounds like my parents got the ‘cron.

Hope everyone had a 5/7 New Years!
HNY dude! Hope the 'rents have a speedy recovery!

Allegiant is 5/7, we sometimes use it to fly from US side Niagara to Daytona got cheap! They are great to deal with.
Thanks man!

They have a lot of flights to various parts of FL from Concord, NC, a tiny airport like 30 miles outside of Charlotte mostly just used by B NASCAR teams. It’s inexpensive and very relaxed to skip CLT airport which is huge and meh.

I love the tiny airports, it's the absolute best way to fly.

Welp, I'm booking my next shot,the gov is making sure we can't fucking budge without a valid QR code as proof of double vax like a bunch of POWs, and I'm sure that nobody here has the :balls: to challenge our leaders in any capacity. It is what it is.

I'm on a wait list, maybe it'llgive me time to figure something else out. Really don't think this is a smart idea to get a second dose in my case. I'm actually kind of sad that I'm going to do this to my heart again.

Our medical experts advised the Premier of Ontario to shut down all the schools. Parents get to play teacher for the next two weeks. Plenty of anger and backlash over this one.

:notbad: but I think that they would be promptly labeled as extremists and arrested in this social climate.

you canuks need to stop being so nice to your leaders. I bet people are organizing a protest on the school thing as we speak. If it's ok to protest BLM shit that was not even in your country during the plandemic, then protesting the actual pandemic measures is fair game. They can't arrest you all.

I know this is OT but the fact that you’ve had a documented adverse reaction to the first jab and they’re still making you take the second one is white frankly borderline criminally negligent behavior.

Much like real life and the media, COVID dominates all conversations at the moment. :disgust:

It's cold in the northeast? :iono:
Yea we're having a really wet/cold winter also. Even a few below freezing (28-30F) evenings/mornings. Which is pretty rare. Kinda weird to be kept at home due to weather. Forgot what that feels like.

Yea for sure. All my biz partners that are not tied to earnings releases which means working on Jan 1st and the 31st like I did, are slow AF at the moment. It seems like this holiday sort of bled from X mas week to first week of jan. Bizzaro

But I'd think that down time is good for ya. make the best of it.

I guess I'll need to come up with a game plan for the kiddos. They're remote/online learning starting tomorrow, so that'll be the focus. May attempt to bang out some accounting stuff, but I can't stand it and procrastinate till it's due so I probably won't. Last time we had a two week lockdown I refinished my staircase, that was rewarding, so maybe I'll patch and paint the basement walls which are a warzone for kids shenanigans.

Are you guys locked down? Is this a global effort to drag things out longer or just Canadian things?

0 Lock down in California because politics. Can't possibly admit that politicians lied to us last year.

:jelly: at least you've got that going for you. Our crooks can say whatever they feel like and we have enough idiots who agree to all the terms + butt heads with people who don't.
