Vain, But Lacking Talent
I think we're close in age (mid-30's?), but I've been regularly using tweezers to pull hair growing on the edge of my outer ear for probably 2 years now. Mostly from the Tragus according to a brief internet search. Definitely makes me feel my age.

The sun finally came out today and I'd been waiting on some good light so that I could photograph a lens and list it on Craigslist. So yeah, I did that this morning. Then I decided that it'd be a good day to run over to the LCS and have them take a look at a different lens that need servicing. Since I was going anyway, I decided to bring the For Sale lens with me to see if they'd offer me something respectable. They ended up buying it for more than I'd intended to list it at on CL, which was awesome, but also rendered the morning photo session pointless. So I'm going to post a photo here so that it doesn't go to waste.

Ugh. Evidently, as far as my wife is concerned, size doesn't matter.
I was wearing my winter boots when we left on the trip to VA, but I took them off, put them in a plastic bag and stowed them away in the trunk somewhere around IL. During the course of the trip, the boy had an accident and ended up getting **** on his boots (long story), so I wrapped those in a plastic bag with the intent of possibly washing them when we got home. Welp, the wife decided that the boy could use some new boots, anyway, so she grabbed the bag with the poopy boots and threw them away... except they weren't his boots, they were mine. How she could mistake my size 11 winter boots for a kid's size 7 winter boots is beyond me.

While we're on the subject of boots and as it appears Why-Fi is in the market...
Without getting long winded, I had to buy some hard toe boots and ordered some Merrell work boots last minute. I got them less than two days before I had to get on the plane. Wore them to work once and then went on the trip to NY. Did 10+K steps a day for the whole trip all over and had zero issues. Highly recommended.

Hoooo boy! Friday is looking like a great day to obsessively check tracking numbers! My replacement lens and a new semi-schmancy camera bag will both be arriving.

Oh yeah, and learn how to use your razor in hidden view as well as over earlobe top, and using a pair of nail scissors to cut the hair in the slightly inner part. Challenges of getting older sometime aren't easy to solve for young people who can't think beyond tomorrow (speaking from personal viewpoint, not anyone else's).

@LesterOfPuppets I may have said this before, not sure, but I remember that color scheme when it came out many moons ago. It was striking back then and it still is. 
For the rest of you, the color(s) is very pleasing in person.

Gonna go dig around for some shifter band clamps in a minute here, since I have 3 shifters without clamps in the junk drawer:
5500 9sp 105
6700 10sp Ultegra
and one right shifter - Ultegra 6600

It's be just like Russia/USSR in the early nineties then. Everything is for sale. For a price.

While my sisters were here, I got in the habit of the multiple cup morning, and now am having withdrawal issues.

Indeed. I just ordered my next bag of beans. My brother got us "Passports" for Christmas - one for a number of local coffee shops/roasters and the other for the breweries. They're basically good for a free drink or some other discounted merchandise. My bean order was only six bucks! Hopefully we'll find some cool new-to-us places among the pages of the passports.
