Figured I'd create a new thread to dump whatever is on your mind.
With all this time on my hands, I started looking hard at options to cable. Finally cut it down to just internet service and went with YouTube TV as it had all the channels we really care about for $50 bucks. The DVR is better than cable's, family room TV was new enough to go with onboard app, the other 2 in the house I used FireTV sticks which work super slick. Forth TV in the basement now has live TV cabaility for the fitness equipment with a Chromecast. Loving it already, saving about $50 off the old package. More portable too.

What other stuff? Little stuff to do lol.
Did notice forsythias are blooming super early - should be around Patriots day
Mt bike riding by me wasn’t too wet. Didn’t go too far but better than i thought.
Noticed bear claw marks on shed - tried to get in. Not too smart - couldn’t figure out latch.

This is way too late in life for me to learn how easy it is to pick women (lots all at once) with baby tigers.

I think the Spaffy is best aerial evah!!
A huge Spaffy thrown while ripping bumps is so gnarly!
Sure these new fangdangled trix with multiple flips and spins are cool but you can't lay those down without special jumps and they need huge landing zones before the next set of bumps.
Spreads and daffies are nice and all, but when you combine them and can lay out a perfectly executed Spaffy the lift line will hoot and holler.

Do you pay 2 times for home & Bethel ($49.99 for each location) or just one charge and can watch in both locations? How does the live TV work? Able to watch all Pats games?

one account for both locations. I use it as well and it's great. plus you can share account with 6 family members, so my kids use it on the west coast as well.

We've had Directv forever. Love all the sports options, especially the local cable sports outlets that let me watch all kinds of college hockey. Added ESPN+ last fall for only $4.99/month. Best bang for the buck if you like college sports and also provides lots of international soccer, which I enjoy. We also have Roku sticks for our 2 TVs, another great option. Can get all the major sports channels on there after downloading the aps on the Roku website. We bring the Roku stick and remote whenever we travel as you can hook it up to any TV with an HDMI input and use the hotel wifi. Along with Netflix and Amazon Prime, we have all the video you could want and have used most of them at some point during these difficult times.

Time for all kinds of honey-do projects now. House has never been cleaner, and the yard has never looked so good this early in the spring. Cleaned the moss off the shed roof after holding off for years. Been making good use of the relatively new e-bike for 15-20 mile rides on every nice day. Home workouts with the gym closed. Been doing the Spartacus workout with lighter weights. Learned to make video calls with our son in Colorado. Did the taxes myself with TurboTax. Watching Bruins Stanley Cup reruns every night. And staying away from everyone. Good luck to all.
