Simply random stuff

My wife likes to say it's not how much you spend, it's how much you save. My POV is if something is on sale for $100 that normally cost $180, you haven't saved $80, you've simply spent $100. Color me cheapskate.

...and it's worth $100, (maybe), so the sale should be $80.00, LOL.

I was checking my preorder of Broadsword on Amazon it read “700+ sold in last month”. Hope there are enough to go around.

Last travelog pics:

I've never experienced the full midnight sun before but this is it. Trollfjord at midnight or so this morning:

Of course the sun doesn't shine in the fjord itself, but when we got out we could see it popping in and out on the horizon between the mountains. And it was WARM. We only needed a shirt even on the bow of the moving ship.

The weather today in Tromso, 200+ miles above the Arctic Circle, is absurd. 79 deg F! Glad I brought a pile of cold weather gear. LOL It's actually getting warmer as we travel north.

Okay shout-out to nextdoor for having the weirdest items for sale ever...

Good to see what the famous AR Surround looks like. Your smile tells me you're having a blast.

You should be wearing a QuadraphonicQuad T shirt.

Train fanatic that your are, any cool train trips?

Oh and did you get a chance to experience this?:

I am living vicariously through your adventures...so much so I have contacted David Attenborough to narrate your epic adventure....THIS COULD BE BIG...now the BBC is involved...how does this title sound....NORWAY AND BEYOND....the travels of a quadraphonic enthusiast navigating the Fjords and Artic Circle.

Hey @ar surround I visited Tromso also recognize the church. Nice little town I like the public library building there. We visited in winter and tried to see some Northern Lights. Norway is a beautiful country.

The smile: We just came out of the Magic Ice Bar in Tromso. Google it.

Train trip: we took the Flamsbana several days ago. 20 tunnels during a one hour trip. That is like toy train layout tunnel density. LOL

Where do we get QQ T-shirts?

@Sonik Wiz I forgot to mention that we did indeed go through that 24.5 km tunnel. Prolific napper that I am, I dozed trough the entire thing.

In these tunnels, they have sections with funky colored lights. Some even have changing colors. (And a few have Sabbath piped in the lure @GOS )
