"You know you're getting old when"....

There's a multi page derail about mini split AC options in a house by a bunch of middle aged guys, and you find yourself locked in like the first time you watch Return of the King.

Well, since you're interested I'll update on my issues, problem seems to be that the outside fan isn't coming on. I crawled onto the roof and had a look, the plastic fan grill just crumbled in my hand from 18 years of sun exposure. Floor of the housing is rusting pretty badly too. It all looks pretty gnarly.

Have a guy coming out to either fix or make an offer to replace later this week. Said to expect around 1800 for a Tosot or 2400 for a Daikin including taxes, installation and removing the old one. Could save 200 removing the old one myself but at this stage (you know you're getting old when...) I'd rather pay someone to lug that thing off a ladder than mess with it myself.

My new AC is so loud it sounds like its raining when it comes on. This is just the air moving from the fan. We can't actually hear the compressor or fan come on. I can't decide whether or not to call the AC company and complain.

You get honestly excited for it. But you also realize you're going to wait to see how early the show starts because you don't want to be out "stupid people late" just for a couple bands.

b-52's 73, 77, 68, [71 non touring], touring (66, 61,57, 54)

Yeah, I'm hoping they go the route of the other "we need one last run for retirement" tours and instead of doing a show in Dallas, do a show or two at one of the casino's around an hour away in Oklahoma. Then I can properly "old fart" it up, and go early, gamble, catch the show, and have a room at the casino hotel for the night.

Goodbye to retirement at 65: Social Security sets a new retirement age from 2026

The changes in the Social Security retirement system are not sudden, but are part of a gradual plan initiated in 1983 to ensure the financial sustainability of the trust fund. This

And you're torn between:
  1. Fuck, I'll have to work longer
  2. No worries, social security will be completely failed within the next decade anyways..

Used to rehab / extend nursing homes. Saw old dudes walking down the hall whacking it with a big ass grin on their face all the time. Funny as hell.

Went to look for a picture from The Realm for the hammer thread. All the pics were of the new-fangled-post-company-sale version. Saw an 18 year old youtube video and clicked. Still the new fangled version.

When your fat shorts stop fitting because of weight loss and instead of being happy you are irritated because you have to wear a belt now.
