Merry Christmas!

Are the Packers doing weddings at Lambeau again? That was the best.

After leaving SpaceX in Dec, bought a house in Chandler, AZ back in Feb. Been fixing it up (solar, battery, insulation, garage floor). Mon/Tue gets me 22 new windows, Wed is water filtration/softener and RO system install. Then gonna stop spending $$$ until 2026.

Rio had a $1200 dental today… on top of my irrigation system taking a crap, it’s been an expensive week. At least I fixed the garage door opener…

On the way to Green Bay… #GoPackGo

Go Brewers! #ThisIsMyCrew

Going to the Packers @ Cardinals game? I’m originally from WI, (shut-in) sister lives in GB 5 blocks north of Lambeau. Going to Lions, Bengals, Panthers (maybe), Bears, and Ravens games.

Ayup. Didn’t know you were an AZ resident? Just moved here in February, bought a house in Chandler.

Sent!

Sent FR from ZaphodBbrx4242!

Part of, but not the only reason I resigned in December, after 5 years. I have zero regrets. There is life after SpaceX! Welcome to the Exxers club!

Supposedly the lifter issues were fixed after the 2021/2022 model years… except newer cars still have bearing issues. Whee!

Positive thoughts headed your way.

Safe a solid 15 miles south of the LA fires, but all of the ash in the air is making the sky color strange, and it’s depositing ashes all over everything outside, resulting in poor air quality. Good thing I now work from home. Moving in about 2 weeks…

He and Josh Allen co-MVPs? Both seem deserving.

Seems about right.

Personal news: After 5 terrific years managing Apple devices at SpaceX (including 58 iPads sent to orbit w/astronauts), I've joined the SAP Mac CoE team as Principal Mac Consultant! Relocating from suburban LA to Chandler, AZ in January.

Hope your doggo is gonna be OK!

Gotta head back tomorrow mid-morning, after taking Patti to buy a new stove. Hell of a day for hers to die…

Having lived in SoCal since February 2020… I can’t do cold and snow any more. Just done with it, plus my SAD.

Starship stacked on the orbital launch mount, waiting for launch.

There was no “R” in his name, he was only known as “Bad Jones”

Don’t eat spicy or brightly-colored food the day before. And, read the Dave Barry Miami Herald column on colonoscopy prep.

Hoping it launches early next week so I can see it.

Pretty cool to see stuff you helped work on out at the launch pad… #starship #spacex

Yeah, public transportation is pretty weak in NE Wisconsin.

Look at Oshkosh; Manitowoc, Sheboygan. Hotels directly in GB significantly raise their prices during game weeks… supply and demand and all that.

“Distracted boyfriend” meme, except the girlfriend has been replaced by shirtless Elon Musk, and the “other woman” is labeled Bluesky.

Niners game?
