Bad news: Wallet literally fell to pieces today. I went to pull out my Costco card and the entire left side just ripped open, cards everywhere.
Good news: Goodwill has decent wallets for less than $5 in Monroe. Score!
Bad news: transferring all your cards is a bitch and a half. Even after you sort out all the ones that you no longer need, now you need to work out a totally new arrangement based on size of the card slots, accessibility, ect ect.
.....First world problems, I suppose....

Good: The yard got mowed. The lamp post got painted. A new solar powered lamp post light was installed. Bad: I'm the one that did all the work.

Bad news; Woman sets up homeless mansion in seattle by the Needle (seems aprapo) that went viral....."Why pay rent when you can live for free" Good News; Dori Monson sets up a shelter yesterday to make a point. Was told by authorities that he needed to take it down. They wait till after his show to enforce the removal.... Now Dori is on the Radio again making a point and calling the City out on their BS handling of his shelter vs the "Homeless woman". Go get em Dori

Good news: P series Rolex Sea Dweller gained 3 seconds in 26 days in daily wear.
Bad news: That seems too good to be true. Usually just over 1 sec/day past few years.
Going to have to monitor it more closely.
Used to be .25 sec/day back in 2002, so I guess it's possible.
I had an 18K Zenith Rainbow El Primero (white dial 18K tachometer bezel) that was within 1 sec/month sitting in a display box after being wound every day.
10 beats per second, 36,000 beats per hour, 1,080,000 beats per month.
And in that month it was off by 10 beats.
Freaky.

Good News: Ordered part has made it through the snow storms in the mid west, from NJ, to land in Seattle...
Bad News: part was sent from Seattle to Federal way (the opposite direction from Sea-town to my house) and the USPS tracking shows it "departed" Federal Way TWICE on Sunday... hmmmm

Freaky. This is all bad news. If a watch costs that much it better never be off. You got screwed.

Good: I was offered a very good paying job that is also pretty easy. Being an air defense instructor as a civilian for the US Army, about $65k a year.
Bad: It would involve going to Lawton, OK for four years.

That's not a job offer, that's the offer of a career....big difference. 4 years of that on a resume might lead to bigger things, or a promotion. And 65k in OK would be decent money. You can blow off jobs, but sometimes careers require sacrifice. If you're into it, think about it. Would hate to see you go, but encourage you to consider the opportunity

Good news: I cleaned most of the trash out of my Jeep. It's been needing a good cleaning and vacuum for some time, and I finally got around to it. Found things that I didn't even know were missing.
Bad news: It started pouring rain before i could sort the non garbage, or do the back area.
Weird news: I found a garage door opener that I have no idea where it came from or how it got in my Jeep....
