I hung out in the park for the first time in over a year. The weather was perfect today:24C sunny, with a little wind cloud.
Met up with a few friends, had socially distanced drinks and soaked up the sun; sights and sounds of life. We were sitting near some tennis courts and the thwack of tennis balls hitting rackets was really comforting to me..lol. People hanging out, kids, dogs, not too crowded, the ice cream truck, doobies..really relaxing. #content :mediate: :kv:

Just took delivery on a Tesla. Really the first time I have ever sprung for a "nice" car. It's a nice car.

It's impressive. I can't stop thinking it's just a super computer. It's my wife's primary. I am still content with my hooptie Hunyadi. :boobs: We got rid of an old mini convertible. That car was dysfunctional and a real pain in the ass to drive, and with about 200k on it was literally falling apart.

Yeah my primary is a 2017 Jeep Cherokee and I'm happy with it, the wife likes the nicer stuff I just drive from A to B and like to have a smooth drive that is pretty much it for me. Bonus is the built in generators other than that I'm good. Especially with coming out of the pandemic so to speak out here there have been a rash of thefts and break-ins for nicer cars in the Austin area. I only have 26k miles on the Jeep namely because if I can ride my bike to where ever I need to go I usually do that.

Listening/watching Jeff Pocaro and Keith Carlock. They are just at completely different levels than other drummers

:lol:

My wife’s job. It’d be a one-year contract, which might get extender for another year or two.

I’m already learning a bit of French, she’ll take an intensive course when all things are finalised. Chances are quite high it will work out, but details aren’t finalised yet.

It would be a nice adventure, that’s for sure!

Since you've mastered English, learning French will be easy for you, imo. Probably the most difficult will be pronunciation and spelling.

I hope this wonderful opportunity works out. :rockon:

Thank you! Yeah, I’ll try my hardest to learn as quickly as possible. Most of the time I can get the throathy bits just fine, but at times it’s like I need more phlegm back there.

Needless to say, I’ll end up spending a fortune on Paris Saint-Germain tickets, just to watch Lionel Messi on a weekly basis.

And we still have to sort out the vaccination issue, as we both have Sinovac. I imagine it won’t be impossible to get the European one there.

It’s around 94% sure, but I won’t celebrate until we are actually there. I’ll post a few pics if we make it. Possibly including a few discarded mattresses.
