No, and I'm honestly hoping to not start working until maybe April... I am now looking at a lot of things in life significantly differently and am cleaning up my house - moving my mom out and moving two refugees from Oklahoma in.

And I'm taking the opportunity to clean out up my own life (old electronics in the basement, for example) and get rid of lots of junk.

For example, one of yesterday's runs to Goodwill included the following:












That's a mid-1940's-era, US Navy shortwave receiver setup that runs on vacuum tubes and still works, I showed the donation guy guy (kinda) how to hook it up and turn it on. It might have value to somebody but I don't know who, and it's not me anymore... lots of old stuff in my basement I need to clean up and move out...

Been sunny & warm most of the week (weekend snow coming) and is good weather for light-duty, manual labor.

Cool receiver! As for looking at things differently, sometimes it is good to be pulled up short such that we re-evaluate things.
