Break Out Another Thousand

A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into

Which reminds me, the name of my last boat, the 22' Cobalt, was Hole in the Wallet


I've been looking at fishing boats the last 4 years, but I can't beat the price of a Buddy With A Boat.

I learned that Costco, starting Jun 30, will open 1 hour earlier (9 AM) for executive members only. 

So not only can I get my weekly Costco trip done earlier in the day, I'll have fewer "Gold Star Member" riffraff milling around to contend with. Nice!

Those Gold Star folks are annoying, and stole my nomenclature.  I have the license plate, they don't.

What is the executive member cover charge?

It's a cool $200 for us lowly Gold Star dregs.

$200??? Gold Star is $65/year and Executive is $130/year. But with the Executive 2% cash back I not only cover the difference between the two memberships... I cover about 2x the cost of the membership every year.

I think you misunderstood.

The joke is....you can't go in to Costco without dropping $200 bucks (cover charge).

Yup we've had Executive for years, ever since the kids were in diapers.  Saved a ton of money on formula back in the day.

But the Costcos in the Austin area have opened at 9 AM for Executive members for... years.  As long as I can remember, actually.  

Still, don't get too excited.  They don't check all that closely,  and the dirty, unwashed, huddled masses of goldstars will still come through the doors at 9AM.  The benefit is that most of those savages don't know about it, so that's the advantage.

Ahh, got it... Yeah, if I get out of there for even CLOSE to $200, it's a light week lol...

Including gas, we spend on average $1K/mo at Costco.

Friday is a WFH day for me.  I finished out yesterday without much to do today.  Had a meeting scheduled for 10:30 but that got canceled.  I basically have nothing work-related to do.

I am about to get some serious stuff done around this place.

lolz, j/k, I'm going to take the dog for a walk and then probably forcefully and dynamically nap on the couch.  

(if you're wondering what about this made me happy today, it's all of it)

The US Open could make for some good "napping to".  Golf is great napping background noise.

Yep. And it's playing like a bloodbath so far. Only 8 players right now below par. 

If you like watching golfers get punished by tough conditions... It's certainly that.

I'll be on it all weekend.  Father's Day weekend, and thunderstorms in the forecast for today through Tuesday.
