I am 38 and have been close to maxing out my 401K for a few years now, this year will be the first time I do, but always put into it when I was able from any job, at least to maximize the company match. So early on, it was between 6-8%, then slowly increased over time. Currently it sits at just...

Two Coway 1512HH units and one Airmega 400S. Our house is just over 1600 sq ft.

AQI has increased here in Cleveland to 630 (391 µg/m³). Indoors holding at 14 µg/m³ now, around 55-55 AQI.

Here in Cleveland AQI is 489... The PM 2.5 is currently 319.9 µg/m³. Never seen it so bad, even with the previous wildfire smoke the past few years! Thankfully I have and run a trio of air cleaners inside my home and my indoor levels are under 10 µg/m³ per my two air quality meters. Not...

Dinner... Buffalo Chicken Pasta Dish. Chicken I marinaded in olive oil, fresh garlic, hot sauce and salt/pepper/MSG. Pan seared it. Veggies include fresh broccoli and onions. Cheese sauce I made starting off with a béchamel, followed by milk with mild cheddar, goat cheese and smoked...

NewGot these three pork butts on the smoker at 630am for dinner today. As it was just for two of us, once cooled and pulled I was able to vacuum seal and put away 10 one pound bags in the freezer we later reheat for tacos, pizza, BBQ sandos, etc... All else on the plate is scratch made... The...

Around 18 weeks ago now I have changed my diet to improve my weight and bloodwork (which wasn't bad, just slightly elevated for cholesterol and ApoB). I have averaged 50g+ of fiber, daily, over this time period. Beans, tons of fruit/vegetables, low-carb tortillas, whole wheat breads (I make my...

We visited Japan last November for the first time (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto) after primarily traveling Europe for years. Thought it might be a "one and done" just to experience it all, but we were wrong!... We then went back in May to South Korea (but we flew back to Tokyo for the last 3 days or...

Breakfast pizza. Made an overnight sourdough crust (super thin, crispy), topped with gyro meat, smoked cheddar that I made, broccoli and onion. Sauce was tomatoes with Korean chili peppers and garlic. Finished with dashes of various hot sauces.

Thats great! Good for you! And yeah, I expect it to slow a bit as I get closer to my target, but I figure ill drop my daily calories soon to 2500 and then eventually 2400 near the end to combat that a bit.

At work had my lunch... Sandwich with homemade fiber bread I came up with (whole wheat, rye, psyllium, seed mix).. Each 100g serving is 8.3g fiber and 6.9g protein... Then had it with smoked pork loin and smoked cheese (both of which I made/smoked) with mustard and lettuce, with a side of...

This is a silly argument... I could have paid cash for my previous vehicle at $50K, but it was better letting that money sit in savings account at a higher interest rate than what I was paying on the car. So I was making out on the deal, so why would I pay it off? Same thing with my house at...

Actually just picked up this new 18" K Sweet Crash to add to the kit... The deal was hard to pass up. Not sure what is up, but some great deals to be had on various high end cymbals at the moment. I got this guy brand new for over $150 off the typical price. Sounds so good, too... Quick, trashy...

That's interesting to play for 35 years and put down the sticks because it's "complicated". That is a lot of years to practice and get good at it! I've also been playing for about 25 years, give or take. But I still actively play a few times a week, so a few hours of kit time. No band or...

I've been in vine since 2022 or so... Been gold status after the first 6 month and it's been an incredible program for us. To date, we are over 630 reviewed items. The amount of fantastic products we have received is well worth it... Probably 5 or 6 different $40-$60 bottles of imported olive...
