   NA> I built a home gym, set up my music collection... a pool table... going

   We added a pool table here last fall as well!  We turned the basement into a   
   fun space with wall mounted TV, fish tank, fake fireplace, pool table, and   
   several full sized retro arcade games - one being virtual pinball.   
      
   I try to do regular old tech purges now and then, too.  I can't believe how   
   expensive the old tech stuff has gotten this year.  The 1TB of DDR4 ECC memory   
   I bought back in February for $645 now goes for well over $2k.  Not the normal   
   price action you see on old gear.  It normally gets cheaper.  Even my 14TB   
   drives I bought 5 years ago for $110 each are $199 now.

   I really like all the seasons here, but really looking forward to   
   spring/summer  again now that we have the pool.  Floating around with a beer   
   while the dog chills in the yard is the exact picture I have in my mind when I   
   eventually retire.
