I'll take a pitcher of water, pubkeeper.

Soccer

One of the soccer teams I play on just won the league's championship game! It was a double header since the semi-finals were the same day. It was yesterday and the first game started while the sun was still out, and I can't describe how hot it was. I saw a girl collapse from heat exhaustion, and I think the only thing that helped her was an ice pack we had that we essentially rubbed all over her body to cool her off, like the back of her neck and arms.

Making money/Landlording/Moving into an awesome neighborhood

I'm set to move in and take operation of a 2-bedroom 1-bathroom rowhome in a hip neighborhood of Baltimore. I want to turn it into a 4-bedroom 2-bath, and I very well could, it just requires some $$$. But I'm really excited to be a landlord. I love the idea of improving the house and creating a small community by renting out rooms. That'll be in November. I've (somewhat) arbitrarily decided that I want to have $5k saved before we move forward with it. Means I gotta save.

Car

I wound up finding and buying a car! A 2003 Civic with a manual transmission and 130k miles. It's in excellent shape and I'm happy with the deal. I had spoken about this car business to a lot of folks a few Pubskis ago. Instead of opting for a car payment and more expensive insurance on an undervalued but still way more expensive car (like $14k), and then selling it for some profit, I decided to buy a car outright and forego the whole affair. I can experiment with riskier ventures when I have the wherewithal for it.
