I’m going continue the bit with the lists. Tonight, I present to you a list of things I like that start with the letter X:

  • X rays (in moderation for diagnosis purposes)
  • Xena (look her up if you missed the 90s)
  • Xylophones (In popular music.)
  • XXX (movies, not the movie character)
  • Xcaret (look it up)
  • Xavi Hernández (I still think he’s a good manager)
  • Xerox machines (back in the day)
  • XTRA FM Baja California México (IYKYK)
  • Xantham gum (as an ingredient)
  • X (the band)
  • Xmas parties
  • Xanadu (the Olivia Newton-John film)

I could go on. However, I need to move on.

So, aside from THAT, what is there to talk about?

Golf Update

I thought I was taking this weekend off golf but my boss invited me to play this morning. Next weekend, I have the two-day championship for one of my clubs. We play one course Saturday and a different one on Sunday. I’m really looking forward to it!

***

Sports Update

Seriously, when does college football begin? I thought August was the worst month for sports but July is just awful. At least Mexican soccer is back on.

***

Other Updates

I am updating my workout regimen and will be starting this week on going back to my weight workouts. I really like the sprinting workouts, so I will continue those. There’s a weigh-in the week after next.

I am very tempted to draft Steelers for FF this year as they have some serious weapons. However, the offensive line is more sus (as the kids say) than the Lineup for The Usual Suspects and Aaron Rodgers is, well, let’s not go there….

I am in the middle of a five day weekend as I had vacation days I had to burn! It’s weird to say, but I miss the days of COVID and working from home. I’ve been attending zoom meetings and checking the laptop to stay ahead of everything and I really miss working in my underwear….

In other news, I have figured out that I will NOT be bored in retirement. I have no clue why people would retire and then decide to go back to work. Fuck that noise.

***

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s drink is: Celsius Arctic Vibe. It’s tasty!

One of my pre retirement tasks here over the next couple of months is to consolidate all of my financial accounts locally. I want to transfer the Visa card I’ve had for 40 years from a stateside checking account that I will soon close to my credit union here.

Anyone done that before? Any issues?

And don’t ask me for the account number and my mother’s maiden name… I know you guys…

SonOfSpam

lol why would I ask for info I already have?

The simplest thing to do would probably be to just close it clean, and open up a new one with the local place.

Yeah I thought so. The teller told me it’s simple but few things are ever simple.

The last time I tried to do international banking with a credit union they asked me if the currency used in South Africa is the euro.

The credit union here is good. They deal with a very transient crowd so normally thier advice on stuff is good.

They need to work on teller hawtness though… All of the cute ones have left recently and… Well… Let’s just say that 2Packs visits have been much less flirtatious.

And institutions in the states are very ignorant as to foreign transactions. Just went through some of that with my stateside bank. After over 45 years with them I will be happy to part ways.

You generally can’t transfer to a different bank/provider. Closing it may affect your credit score if it’s your longest tenured account, but probably not an issue when retiring abroad 🙂

Thank you. I no longer care about my credit score, I’m in a good position there. But I suspected that a transfer might some issues.

Based on my mother’s experience transferring Dadshirt’s assets to herself, including the ones where she is listed as Beneficiary, you are completely screwed. Have fun!

Her little blond sidekick buddy was pretty boner inducing at times also.

Found a funny:

I was in the Home Depot and some little kid called me an Old Fart. So, if you’re missing a kid, he’s in the red LG dryer, Aisle 17.

yeah right

Did anybody else participate with the “Where’s George” thing with the dollar bills and the serial numbers that you entered into a website?

I did a few times.

Then I realized we’re probably just helping the FBI track the flow of money back to the cartels.

Or did I dream it?

I know about it, but I didn’t participate. So, its pretty much like me and real life.
