Obsesses over bikes (MTB, Trials, Dirt Jumpers) Apparently I get hurt too much doing dumb (yet fun!) things on bicycles for a kid in his late 40's. Before bikes I obsessed over racing cars and go-karts on the track for 10 years.

I hope this is the year I can open my store. 😅 I do plan to design/make/sell Tapbots stuff through the store as well. Will be great quality and full of attention to details since I'm in control of everything. Just a million little things to do before I can get there.

@mark@tapbots.social weirdly, in thumbnail it makes it look vaguely like an Audi R8 (the original uni-blade years)

@mark@tapbots.social It f*cking sucks. I bet that insurance doesn’t even pay for anything until you spend another ~$7500 on deductibles, either.

@agiletortoise@mastodon.social Yea something like that. 🥲There are cheaper plans, but we need to have a PPO plan to have access to all the doctors he needs.

Day or 2 left until I get to start paying $3600 a month for health insurance for my family because I am self-employed in America. Of course I can’t really afford it, but I have a child with a lifelong disease that has to be cared for. Living the American dream here!
