    I'm regularly listening to Octane on sxm, and The Highway. Depends on my mood, really. When I get my own truck, it'll have a decent system in it.

    I only listen to Lou Rawls.

    That's what I named my Cummins. Reminds me of that deep baritone of Lou Rawls. I haven't turned on the radio or listened to a CD in years.

    Octane is a great channel. I scanned my bills at the Peelot in Perrysburg, OH, and listened to an interview with Avatar.

    I still have my old sxm radio. I haven't renewed my subscription yet because I have iHeartRadio but I might have to so I can listen to my Tigers. I'm a big baseball fan.

    I got tickets for my dad and I for the home opener tomorrow :D. They're on the 3rd Base side way up top and it's going to be cold but who cares. Roads might be bad though. We're about to get hit with some bad weather. It's about an hour drive to downtown Detroit from me under normal conditions.

    Table tennis tournament did not go well. I got creamed. I guess this will be something I'll have to sacrifice.

    Played 21 matches in 2 days. I'm feeling it now. Beat dead tired and sore. Almost 35. Can't do it anymore. But I got a lot of much needed exercise. I played hard. Gave it all I had. It's just the players that I could have beaten had I been getting much practice have flown a little past me and I couldn't close out some matches that I was ahead in. But I had a lot of fun and got exercise.

    Tomorrow I have to start adulting again. Resigned to my fate.

    What are your numbers for the first quarter?

    I'm thinking about a Lone Mountain truck very soon and am crunching numbers
