    So far no symptoms or side effects. Will keep following.

    Good luck!

    If you win over $10k, adopt a dog and name him Beans

    Deal, but I need a functional house first. Which might actually happen in the next month or two.

    Having a paid off home in retirement is the best way to have plenty of extra bankroll to be able to keep up with one's gambling addiction.

    It might happen faster if you had $10k.

    Yep. I never actually went to sleep last night, but that alarm still went off in case I did! Tends to be fewer weather related issues and or cancellations taking the "what're you, stoopid" early flights. I can sleep when I get home :)

    No. There was a small discrepancy between the insurance adjuster and the entire rest of the world. 1st adjuster's estimate was $16k all-in. Cheapest estimate from anyone willing to actually do the work? Slightly higher at $145,000 and change. So I've been fighting the insurance company, and accusing them of acting in bad faith, got them to reconsider. Long story but that's the crux of it.

    Let's make up stories about Mcann. I'll start:

    Living in Florida, nowhere near an airport convenient to fly to his favorite destination - must mean he has a very specific job that traps him in this location.

    I'm saying he works for Nasa, currently on a top secret project that allows people to teleport to Vegas and these trips are just a cover for the transportation research he is doing.

    He's living in Bascom, FL doing a study for the NSA of why people live in this unforgiving, unreachable part of the country and don't move away so that the Navy can build an air-fighter training base.

    @MCann side hustles as Pluto at Disneyworld, giving kids hugs of indeterminate length (I heard Disney characters aren’t supposed to break a hug until the child does).

    You were really seizing the day at stupid o’clock today. Grab a plane nap and hit the ground running.
