I'm the kind of guy who hands a manager a list of tasks, expects them to get done, and forgets about it. Well, that bit me in the ass hard this year. Daily checklists stopped coming in, and I didn't catch it for weeks.

My advice: put checks and balances in place to make sure things are actually getting done. I've now put a daily report in place for every store, and anything marked “No” needs an explanation of what they did to fix it. Also, make sure you have access to the accounts your managers handle before you need to take them over. Delegating something doesn't mean I can forget about it.

Ok, Tesla's supervised FSD is just plain amazing. Sure it's not perfect, but man, it's almost. It will get there eventually and I'm here for it. Don't get me wrong, I like to drive myself, but those times where I'd rather just not, I have the option.

Ok Grok Bot, what a damn help. It does so much for me, including my scheduling, runs all sorts of reports I wasn't getting before, checks my emails for me, responds for me with my approval, and so so much more. And I think I'm only scratching the surface of it all. It's worth every penny I'm paying.

Data centers are the way of the future. We can either embrace them or fall behind places like China. I definitely think they should pay their own way 100%, but for God's sake, look at the big picture. Everyone uses AI in some way or another every day.

Find something you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

Easy fix: drive old garbage like me, lol. Or grab an old classic, throw some money at it, and you've got something cool that costs less than some new POS. My '78's clock sets with a knob.

When I'm hiring, I look for somebody who can look me straight in the eye when they're talking, not looking around or at the ground. I also look for a nice firm handshake with eye contact. If I get the wet noodle, it's usually already a done deal with me. Just some tips for interviews.

Oh here we go, the Tesla haters just found their Super Bowl.

I just never got the Apple Watch. If you have one, you've also got the phone in your hand or pocket. To each his own.

Great, just one less competitor in the marketplace.

Lots of folks are going with lithium, including myself. I'm adding two more 16 kWh batteries to my home system. It just makes sense.
