And right now I’m waiting on my wife to get off the damn phone with work on a Saturday so we can get out of the house on this 70 degree day. Sorry not sorry
Careful with your BP, Tommy. I'm currently working to lower mine. Diet plays a big part, especially salt, which I'm sure you're aware of.

My local Carmax had a base Bronco MSRP $30k they were selling it for $50k! It only had 1k miles but was already all beat up inside. Carmax has a bunch of 1k mile Broncos so I’m guessing lots of people bought them just to flip them right away.

Yes, definitely. I exercise 3 times a week and walk 6 nights a week. Gotta keep the weight down too. And watch the alcohol consumption.

Never been overweight. For me it's mostly salt so cutting way down and limiting alcohol as well. Completely cutting alcohol for the moment, may add it back but very little.

I think a lot of people bought them based on the keep-up-with-the-Jones hype of the new Bronco SUV. Then actually drove it and said, "WTF, this is too rough, loud, and plasticity." and then sold it.

The thing is an off-road vehicle meant to be taken off-road and washed out with a hose. Some of the members of the Bronco Forum I'm on freak out if the hard top leaks 4 drops of water going though the car wash. "The convertible top gets water on me when I open the door!" LOL.

Your wife makes you wait in the salon while she gets her hair done? What kind of cruel torture is this?

If it were me the payback would be taking a few pictures and talking about that hairdresser the whole ride home and for the rest of the next 24-48 hours.

I'm waiting to see if the music festival in Germany I've had tickets for since Aug 2019 is going to go ahead this year. Last week I got notified that my booked and paid for accommodation for the festival is going to cost me an additional 350 euros.
Also waiting for spring to arrive and clear the salt from the roads so I can get my car out of storage and start enjoying it again.

It's an amazing camera. I'm coming from a D3 and totally blown away at the improvement.
I ordered at 12:30 EST on Launch day - from B&H - they haven't made it past the 0815 EST orders yet....

I also have an order at my local camera shop

congrats on getting yours!

Wacken Open Air in Germany, Aug 04-06. Tickets go on sale immediately after the festival ends and often sell out very quickly. I got my tickets in 2019 for the 2020 festival. We all know what happened next. W.O.A. 2020 postponed to 2021, then 2022. Fingers crossed it goes ahead this year. I usually get in a few laps at the Nurburgring while there although I don't have anything booked yet. It's a wait-and-see game for that.

Oh I see, cool. That's way up north almost into Denmark. Sounds like fun. Hope it all comes together for you. I'm still hoping I'll get over to Germany for business. At this time it's looking like May timeframe.

So I guess I can say I'm waiting for my upcoming business trips this year. It's always nice to take a few extra days for personal travel and fun.
