Hey @crschmidt.net - got some saved for a couple of ebikes for my wife and me. Not looking for top of the line - something that we can ride in our non bike friendly Midwest city :)
Something we can throw a basket on for the wife - and maybe a milk crate on the back of mine.

Anyone that plays #SeaOfThieves using the new Pirate Profile feature? I've seen the negative of them - in droves - but I'd love to hear about people that are actually using .. and enjoying ... their function!

Fans of #MUDs? I've hung out on TCZ off and on since 1998. It's got it's own building system / programming language, decades of places to explore, and some awesome people still hanging out daily.
The only problem? The number of people is declining.

Have a safe 4th- then have a fifth ( not that kind)loaded with horror- Bela Lugosi is back, as a vampire who is defeated- but revived by a bombing raid-to continue his vendetta against the family that originally staked him! It’s the “Return of the Vampire”! Saturday night on MeTV at 8 pm e/p,7c!

Play Sea of Thieves? Looking for a group of older folks to hang out with? I created the new guild, "The Salty Scallys", for folks 40+ that play Sea Of Thieves regularly and want to kind of go at their own pace.
Interested? Made a Discord to try and meet folks.

$150B proposed add to the Defense budget. We'd spend over $1T a year if this happens.
Free Breakfast, Lunch, School Supplies, Backpacks, and 2 years of community college for ALL US STUDENTS? Estimated $55-80B

Found a galleon at Port Merrick last night as Jason and I were wrapping up our commodity runs. Cautiously, I approached via land .. and it was empty.
I’ll probably never sink one legitimately … So I set it ablaze.
I toasted marshmallows while waiting!

It's been a while since I've taken any shots with my little Daasty Ginny, but another cute little snake has been added.
It was really hard to place items and shoot before the snake stung me and canceled my emote.
I wish you a gel thursday to all you pirates.

Also - I'm still on the hunt for an active #SeaOfThieves guild that runs around almost nightly. I spend a lot of time running around solo or with a buddy - but I'd love to join a full crew of folks that gets into shenanigans that maybe I'm not super confident in.
Got a group?! Im pretty cool!

Couple great nights on #SeaOfThieves with @jasoninthewood.bsky.social the past couple nights!
We're cruising through Athena rep and have a great flow going .. and it's been pretty uninterrupted by shenanigans which is always welcome.
And I'm hacking at my fishing commendations! Inching closer.
