I think about my next endeavors a lot. I make it a point to invest some time in them now while I still have the energy. I know some people who retired and felt a little lost because work was their raison d'etre or they were waiting for retirement to pick up a hobby.

If I hit FI, I plan on immersing myself in my hobbies (playing guitar, photography, gardening), building furniture for family and friends, and exercising more. And spending time in nature.

Also, since my dog is a recue, my altruistic pipe dream is to make enough money so I can buy some land and adopt a bunch of shelter dogs. Maybe even start a non-profit so I could pay the people who work at rescues a decent wage bc some of them are saints.

I hope you can take some solace in the fact that you gave her a good life and made her feel loved. May you one day meet again.

I'm a big proponent of buying local whenever possible. This plus something similar for physical products is really useful no matter where you live.

I feel this. Getting tired of living through historical events.

Vimium. Allows you to use your keyboard to navigate instead of needing to always reach for the mouse.

These are great, learned 2 new words I never heard before. Slightly related, but in fine fettle can also be used to refer to someone in good shape (mentally or physically).

Nice progress. A sharp tool makes a world of difference. As far as the shavings, mine usually go in the composter. A buddy of mine gives them away to people with chickens.

The temperature difference between streets in our neighborhood that have trees and those that don't is eye-opening. Even more so with parks. Trees create such a pleasant micro-climate.

The kicker is that a vast amount of these stadiums are paid for by tax payers. We're subsidizing billionaires to build these things that we still have to pay to use instead of investing in public spaces and transportation/infrastructure projects
