Road Trip day 2, home

Traffic — Rush hour. Crawling. Both directions. Less than 10 minutes from today’s final destination.

Man standing next to a car — Pulled over to take a short break. Ten lanes of crawling rush hour traffic on the other side of our vehicle.

Who doesn’t love smiling at how audacious you can be?
dad

Driving 10 hours today (and 6.5 hrs yesterday) seemed impossible 72 hours ago.

Pulling over 10 minutes from today’s destination seemed impossible too.

But i did what needed to be done.

Feels amazing.

Road Trip day 1, home

welcome to South Carolina sign — Drove farther today in one day than i have in decades. Wasn’t sure i could do it. Succeeded because i prepared in an excellent way.

Leaning into discomfort has served me all of my days.
dad

It’s always been challenging to describe to others what i self-label as an insatiable desire to learn.

Disaster was prowling

Apple Watch screenshot — Removing the “new” IP address fixed my access to both websites in question.

handwritten notes — This is all the good part from a full page of notes from our 100-minute call.

The numbers from my notes do not show a nearly $400 refund, but that’s supposed to be the net affect.

When possible, always wait a day or more on anything that sounds too good to be true.
dad

The one-month security product rids all malware and locks the back door.

Tomorrow’s road trip will last a week, possibly more.

The new Hosting plan sounds too good to be true.

Therefore, i asked if i can take 10 days to decide.

The “patch” costs $200 but it gives me time.

What if there’s a better multi-year product than the one offered?

What if there’s a catch like hidden fees or something complicated?

It feels good to know the Hosting on offer is probably legit the best one.

If it is, it saves $100 per year, so $400 less than my current (4-year) Hosting.

woman bicycling across country — Honeymoon. Who does this? Cheryl and jeff. Friday Island, Washington state. Decades ago. Yee-haa!

Mom and i went on our Honeymoon a year after we were married. It was a 17-day bicycle trip across Washington State. We had $200 cash. One night in a British Columbia Hotel. Every other night was in a tent.

Got experience?

21-second video: It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Son, someday you will realize how insanely epic our home location is.
dad

Mom and i, while living in Washington State, made plans to buy a mobile home when we permanently moved to Orlando in 1984.

We never factored in the lot rent.

How do you overlook such a detail?

Easy.

Inexperience.
