      It's not a Secret Santa party without moycon! :)

  2. It's official. I'm in the Atari Age Secret Santa again this year! 2020 needs a healthy injection of FUN! If you haven't joined in yet, what are you waiting for!?

      It's great! Last time I did it (admittedly years ago) I got the coolest set of mix CDs from Germany to play with the ol' 2600. One of my favorite items to this day!

  3. Don't mind me, just sitting here waiting for my copy of Borderlands 3 to be delivered.`

  4. Finally after years of talking about it, screened in the back porch of our small cabin in Blue Ridge. So awesome to be outside at night and not be swarmed by bugs!

      As much as I love sitting on my screened terrace/deck/porch/veranda, it's been too hot lately. I mostly use it during Spring and Fall. :)

      That's the great thing about last weekend in the North GA mountains. The lows were about 63, it's always 5-10 degrees cooler there, than at our house. I was actually chilly for the first time in months!

       

  5. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with not working. Oh wait, no not really, it's awesome!

      Sammich!!! I don't know yet if I retired. Depends on if I wind up needing $$$ I guess. So far so good.

      Congrats then! Hopefully I can make it to the same goal.

  6. Today is my last day being on the AT&T payroll. After 19 years I'd say it was a great run! Time to do the stuff I REALLY wanna do now!

      What did you do at AT&T? November marks 30 years for me with with Southern Bell/Bellsouth/AT&T. All outside tech.

      You can finally dance naked in public without worrying about getting fired!

  7. Last day of employment March 26 WOOT!!!

  8. Found out today I could volunteer for a package at my work. I was planning on leaving anyways, but an extra $50,000 never hurt anyone!

      Sounds like you really earned it! Anyone who works 3rd shift shift for 20 years deserves $50k if you ask me, especially if tech support is involved!

      Are you close to retirement, or are you going to move on to something different?

      I'm 46. I'm not going to do a thing for as long as I can stand it. Not having kids, and not having a mortgage or credit card debt made it all possible. Socking 15% of my paycheck away for those 19 years assures my retirement is in place when I am finally old enough to draw from it.

  9. Amazingly. It's all coming together. With any luck, by April I'll be jobless!

      And by that you mean, independently wealthy and retired, right?

      Yes Stan Jr! With any luck, I'll never have to work again.

  10. 3 months and counting!

      Atarifever, yes that it's exactly. New roof, new pipes, new furnace etc... I've even stocked up on stuff like trash bags, laundry soap, bath towels, pretty much anything I can think of non-perishable.

  12. A year and a half ago I got rid of the mortgage, as of last month, all my vehicles are paid for. It's all coming together.

      If my balls drop any more than they have in the last 10 years, I might accidently flush them one day.

      I just refi'd into a new 30 year mortgage. :P Zero rush to pay off to be honest though.

  14. Been mostly MIA since middle of last year, have been busy trying to fix up and sell my house at a considerable profit so I can turn around and buy a new house outright. It's taken a long time, but if all goes well next week I'll be in an awesome house and mortgage free!

      Congratulations are in order for even making the attempt!

       

      Sounds like you're well on the way to a debt free life. It's a nice place to arrive at the end of long, challenging road.

      The biggest thing I'm looking forward to is being able to kick back, and spend more time and $$ on video games!!

  15. Funny how the ones done with modern gaming talk about it the most. How's that work?

      It is funny that people who say they hate something enough to give up a favourite hobby would then complain about hating the thing that convinced them to give up on their favourite hobby. Wait.
