NA> I built a home gym, set up my music collection... a pool table... going
NA> to start purging many boxes of useless tech crap that can "go".

We added a pool table here last fall as well!  We turned the basement into a
fun space with wall mounted TV, fish tank, fake fireplace, pool table, and
several full sized retro arcade games - one being virtual pinball.

I try to do regular old tech purges now and then, too.  I can't believe how
expensive the old tech stuff has gotten this year.  The 1TB of DDR4 ECC memory
I bought back in February for $645 now goes for well over $2k.  Not the normal
price action you see on old gear.  It normally gets cheaper.  Even my 14TB
drives I bought 5 years ago for $110 each are $199 now.

NA> MH> We also got an English Cream Golden Retriever puppy back in March
NA> since we MH> finally have a fenced yard. I always wanted a polar bear
NA> looking dog to si MH> by the pool with and drink a beer after work. :)
NA> 
NA> Hhahaha nice!

I really like all the seasons here, but really looking forward to
spring/summer  again now that we have the pool.  Floating around with a beer
while the dog chills in the yard is the exact picture I have in my mind when I
eventually retire.
