Today was a good day - the counter to trivial complaints

We finally officially broke ground on our house! It has been two years in the making, and a stressful nightmare dealing with the bank and our local township and our surveyor but its finally happening.

Bought an $12 item on Amazon last week and it was too big for my use. Curious to see what it was gonna cost me to return but Amazon credited the full amount and said to keep the item.

A first for me anyways.

They have done that for me several times. Unfortunately its usually some bs item for my wife so it never really works out for me.

I have had that once with a book I ordered for my wife. Turns out she already had the book, so now we have 2 of them because Amazon didn't want it shipped back.

This may get a little sappy, but my life has been far from perfect lately, so sometimes that makes the good times seem even more amazing. Ever have one of those moments when all is right with the world? Almost like an epiphany, where this serenity just washes over you? I can remember the very first time it happened to me. It was 25 yrs ago. We had just brought our infant son home from the hospital. It was his second or third day home and I was taking the 2:00AM feeding shift. So I am sitting on the couch with my baby boy in my arms giving him a bottle. His little eyes are just looking all around and suddenly he just looks up at me and stares directly into my face and then with the one hand that was not clutching the bottle, he reaches up and grabs my finger and holds onto it. Probably the best moment of my life.

Another of these times came when my wife, the kids and I were on vacation at the beach. All the adults were up on the patio having drinks and conversation, and all the kids were on the beach digging holes, building sandcastles, playing catch...there is a lot of activity going on. Then the sun begins to set and it was the most amazing sunset I'd ever seen. The entire beach full of adults and kids went completely silent and everyone sat in silence and watched as the sun dropped out of sight. Crazy.

Well, it's been a long time since I had a moment like that. And this is going to sound weird, and I know this situation should not even compare with the other two, and it certainly doesn't with the first one, but I digress.... I'm at the gym early this morning. I am there alone as it's 5:30 on a Sunday. Then this young woman walks in. She is fit and trim, but not 'skinny'. Built more like a triathlete. Anyhow, she has her earbuds in and is warming up/stretching out. I can see her mouthing the words to some song that only she can hear. She walks over to the pull up station, gets a good grip and starts ripping thru an endless set of pullups. And I am talking REAL pullups. Not chins, and God forbid, not cross fit kip-ups. Her back just begins to physically morph as her once thin frame exposes the real musculature she possessed. It was like a topographical map of the Andes. I am watching this, pretty much in awe, and thinking "she's a rock climber, for sure". Then all of a sudden while still in the middle of her pullups, she bursts into this Adele song, hitting every note dead on. I am pretty positive she didn't even know she was singing out loud. That was the moment folks. Even now as I type this the hair on the nape of my neck is standing on end.

You never ever know when one of these moments will happen. I hope you all have one very soon.

I was hoping u took her home or something...

I remember back in high school making fun of the kids who played pokemon and magic. Now everyone is obsessed with this garbage. My good day complaint is even though my co tractor hit rock it luckily was just east tennessee chert rock and they were able to get through it quickly. Footers almost done and poured on monday!

Went into Boston to see a concert with my daughter last night. Saw Flight of the Conchords. Don't know if any of y'all even know who they are, but it was hilarious and the music was awesome as well. The guy that does the voice of Gene on Bob's Burgers was the opening act. Lots of fun. Just sitting there watching my daughter laugh and smile pretty much non-stop did my heart so much good. I am pretty sure she wore out her dimples.

Adele-singing, rock climbing, pull-up girl walked over to me between sets this morning and asked if I'd like to have drinks with her tomorrow night and maybe plan a climb together.

Oh it has. I'll probably need some other type of healing after our 'climb' and whatever else happens. I'm 52 and she's 28.

Congrats! And impressive that you are rock climbing at 52!

I did a lot of free climbing in my late teens and early 20s, I also did a good bit of ice climbing. Then when the kids came along, I stuck with safer stuff like bouldering and basic rock climbing, so my kids didn't grow up without a father if I messed up. Then when my kids hit their early teens they somehow took an interest in climbing, so I got back into it pretty heavy again. It's a great workout, and I can do it year round now because climbing gyms are just popping up everywhere these days.

I finally found a decent left handed compound bow for my wife (for a good price). She decided she wanted to start shooting, and I needed to find a bow before she changed her mind.

What did you go with? My daughter shoots a PSE Blackhawk recurve at the moment but is looking to step into a compound. My compound is probably older than half the guys on this forum and I haven't really kept up with what's available right now and which brands to avoid or whatever.
