Buc-ee’s brisket is not worth the trip.

I have the Delta Gold Amex. I fly 3-4 times a year, mostly from LGA-TYS. I figured that the companion certificate alone would make up the difference ($500) between the cards, and lounge access would be the tiebreaker.

I have been tracking my next trip. Delta Main $916 C+ $1,007 AA MC $521 AA FC $643.

Same route, same days, all flights within an hour of each other.

Delta RJ vs AA E175

I am thinking of cancelling my gold card and getting the AA card equivalent.

I (67M) am employed at a small ($20M) manufacturing company. I am a key employee responsible for the production side of the business. There is no one in the company capable of taking over my duties. My skill set is hard to replace.

I am planning on retiring sometime in the next 12 months. I will have seven or eight weeks of vacation banked by then.

I want to give enough notice to allow them time to find a replacement. I do not want them to drag it out. I also don't want them to monkey around with the vacation time.

I am thinking about giving two weeks' notice with an offer to work on a 1099 for 150% of my normal weekly salary. I want to incentivise them to keep it as short as possible.

Has anyone been in this situation, and how did you handle it?

What is everyone using for active ear protection? My Axils are falling apart and don't have a great NRR.

So…
I am unloading some shooting gear from my truck. A bag of ammunition dumps on the rear of the bed and the space between the bed and tailgate.
No big deal, right?
Ford decided to put a large hole for a wire in the bottom of the tailgate. Now I have a dozen rounds of 9 mm rattling around when I open or close it.

How do I get the ammo out and does anyone make a blocking plate?
