The Love of My Life!

Everyone,

I would like to happily introduce to all of you the love of my life: Rocinante. 

She's back in white with the S-Line and Black Optic packages befitting a "bucket list car".  This was what the old gal used to look like back in 2011:

(Non-nerds reading this should Google up the Rocinante reference) 

Never will a man get in between me and my gal ever again.

Fuck you Joe, Hello Rocci!

The Prosperity Toss

A little after my birthday, I brought some friends to my favorite Malaysian restaurant here (the only one in town), Island Malaysian Cuisine, to perform the annual Chinese New Year ritual of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusheng with me. 

The idea behind this is to mix and toss up the ingredients as much and as high as you can. The higher and more you toss, the more luck will come your way for the new year. Each time you toss, you say out loud all the wonderful things you want for everyone to get. 

New car, New job, More money, More everything! 

Bill, Paul, Rich.... I hope yours will come true for this year. This is the first time in 20 years I've performed this ritual... mine certainly did. 

The week after this event, RSA announced we made 161% above Sales target for 2020.... my bonus got a whole lot 161% fatter :)

To all my friends out there reading this: Mark your calendar for Chinese New Year in 2022. We're doing this again. Just spreading some love with you all.

On a side note: Job @ Google was never meant to be. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Great offer from the Amazon Treasure Truck...

 

....I think I'm going to regret getting this.

Tecopa Hot Springs

 Over the last weekend, I took my RV out for a quick vacation to Delight's Hot Springs Resort in Tecopa, CA. Yes, it has been over 2+ years since I've actually stayed in my RV overnight. My meetup group organized a trip there and I figured... why not.

It's only a short drive from Las Vegas, about 90+ miles. The place reminded me a lot of another hot springs location in Colorado I used to go nearby Canon City, CO. It's just a hot springs in the middle of nowhere. This time, I am there with people I actually enjoy being with. For once, the people I'm with actually think I'm a cool guy :)

I have a new friend I'd like you all to meet, her name is Santhana. I call her my sister from another mother. 

The rest of the pictures below speaks for themselves on how much fun I had on vacation. 

It's beautiful out here...

A Belated Birthday Gift For Myself...

An iPhone 12, for someone born on Feb 12...

 

A very special thank you to my friend, Todd, for making this possible!

Piece-by-Piece (With My Bills!)

My re-fi payout came in today. FINALLY! Paid off (Yes, OFF!) 3 credit accounts, and significantly paid down 2. Keeping the rest for personal liquidity, RV Rental operating needs for the year, and a little "feel-good-reward" for myself. 

No James, no slot machines involved :)

Yes everyone, knocking down my bills piece by piece....

Perfect timing for this song below. 

I 💚  Kelly Clarkson.
