YAY!!!!

Thanks all! I'm going to be the program manager for a non-profit organization that my uncle founded in the early 80s. So excited for this. I appreciate all the well-wishes!
-
Great!

After using off the rack clubs my whole life, I'm off to get fitted for my first set of golf clubs! 🏌️♂️

Wow!

THIIIIIIIS close to my first "real" fire call. Reported vehicle fire. It was out when we arrived (which was quickly!). It was a smoking battery. So close!!

I thought there might be a few hoops to jump through first but I'd love to get a glimpse into that world

"Ain't nobody got time for 'dat!"
Interesting aside -- the other day I drove my mom to Costco for a hearing aid repair. There was a car at her exit with smoke coming out from the hood. The driver was getting a fire extinguisher from the back.
On the return trip...a completely burned shell of a car! OH NO! Poor guy. It was a pretty new car too...a small Chevy.-

Woot!

Thanks guys! A new job Leo that would be amazing for me. I'll elaborate more if I get it. I don't want to jinx anything.
-
Prayers for you, bro.
-
So anxious/nervous for tomorrow! Keep those fingers crossed! (I'll elaborate in the future if all goes well)

It's a long backstory. I'll have to summarize.
-
So what happened captain?
-
It was an early step in a process. It went well but I don't want to jinx anything by talking too much. Yet. I have homework to do & if that goes well, I'll spill my guts!

I bought Stardew Valley today. Any fans here? I'll take all the pointers I can get.

I will! Thanks Justin!
I'm in a major slump in PUBG, so I need something a little less stressful to play. 🤯
-
It's similar to Harvest Moon, isn't it? I've been wanting to play it for awhile now.
-
I believe so. I never played Harvest Moon, but I do remember reading something regarding that.
-
I'm about a week away from having my dream retro machine in my hands. (Modded OG Xbox with 2TB HD FILLED with emulators & ROMs). Of course, I'm going to be away all of next weekend.

It's incredible, from what I've seen. I'll definitely be posting pics & vids once I have it.

Looking forward to your pics and vids!

Awesome!!!

Anyone have any experience writing a 30/60/90 day action plan for a potential new job?

Wouldn't it be interesting if we had forum members providing recommendations and helping other forum members land a new dream job in the same way we tend to be so generous around here with our trades, retro junk box, etc..
-
I'd love to help, but have never written such a plan.
-
That would be great Prof! No worries NSG & Rows, I never heard of one either, but I was asked to do one. I've got it down and am confident in it, I just was looking for a little extra boost. Thanks!!

Remembering the Space Shuttle Challenger, 30 years ago today.
-
I was in High School. They wheeled in the A/V cart with TVs in all the classrooms so we could watch live. An entire student body sat stunned at what we witnessed.
-
Wow. 7th grade for me. There's a great special on NatGeo TV tonight about it. I caught it Tuesday night.
-
Same here. Senior in high school. TV set up in the library. Shocking and so sad.
-
-
My case was presented. Competition is stiff. Back to waiting again.
-
Has anyone else ever done Couch to 5K? The jump from Week 3 to Week 4 is brutal! (I did this a couple of years ago but I forgot about this.)
-
No, but sounds interesting. My metabolism has really slowed down at age 50. I've been exercising more and more, and that really helps to feel good and healthy for me.
-
It definitely works & as long as my knees hold up and I can continue to the end, it's a great way to fend off the creeping waistline.
-
I'll check that out. I really like riding a bike, so that's what I've been doing. Weights and stationary bike every weekday morning, then a real bike when time and weather permit.

Finished King's Quest Chapter One last night and it was fantastic! Looking forward to the rest.

Anyone want to win a custom 7800/2600 controller from RetroGameBoyz??
-
Looking forward to proving how bad I am at video games! (What's lower than Danisen 1?)
-
Haha it doesn't drop below 1st Dan
Everybody starts out 1st Dan so you have nothing to lose!

I never fail to get excited seeing 2600 Basketball while watching Airplane!
-
Hey...at least they are still watching the blip on the radar screen

-
I've finally thought of another topic worthy of a blog post. Not gaming or nostalgia related this time, but hopefully interesting nonetheless. Now I just need to write it. 🙄
-
Truly looking forward to this. I love that you guys are hosting your personal blogs here.
-
-
Blog updated! See? I don’t always procrastinate. 🤫
-
You cranked that out fast! I can't wait to read through this twice when I get home ☺️
-
-
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
-
Can’t wait to jump into the Pizza Party high score challenges! Great choices!
-
THANKS @StormSurge!! Thrilled to have you participating!!
-
-
I'm writing more blog posts in my brain. Hopefully some (relatively) entertaining stuff on the way.
-
I love what you're doing with your blog @StormSurge, looking forward to whatever's next!
