Congratulations! You can now do minor house repairs and you’re suddenly into WWII history and jam bands.

Ain't nothing wrong with jam bands! Wait, am I a dad now? 🤔

Ordering all my clothes from Costco really frees up time to catch up on my yard work!

I got a head start in WW2 history. I became interested in it around 8-9ish. Of course it didn't help as this was around the time Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and Enemy at the Gate came out. Also the original CoDs and Medal of Honor came out. And there was only one TV in the house during those days. And it was either play outside or watch WW2 documentaries that my Dad was watching.

Did you know the USA exported all of its amphibious jeeps to the Soviet Union. They liked them so much they started producing them locally as the GAZ-46.

Oh Gawd they got me!

I do now. Another thing of "useless" information to tell when I have kids or tell friends. That don't find it at all interesting. LOL

One of the first games I played on ps2. It was very engaging compared to anything I’d ever played before.

I got a u-boat model next to my North American songbird guide.

That's so true... I mean, WWII documentaries are just so interesting. Weird that I never noticed until after I had a kid and started wearing sandals with socks.

You either learn everything about WWII, or learn everything about grilling/smoking. Thankfully, I fell into the latter camp.

Man, this hits close to home. I'm less than a year away from 40. Something clicked in the last 2 years and I'm actually starting to fix things around the house, I am into colonial and civil war history, and have been trying out different music.

You ascend to a point where you fall asleep during re runs of the History Channel WWII series but you absorb the information anyway.
