3 months after the event our new tiles are down, place has been cleaned. All that dust
Anyway, moving back and in the next days life should return to something like normal.... Then Christmas, the tree, lights and cards are the next challenge
We were lucky to score a very close match on the tiles, not perfect but that close you wouldn't notice the difference as they are maybe 2mm (is that a 10th of an inch?) larger.
Just got back from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and thought I'd share a few pics.
Flying in.

The airport. All arriving and departing flights, enter and exit the plane form the tarmac.

The resort and beach.

The ocean was particularly rough for several days, which typically causes an excess of seaweed. But I'm pretty sure the water and sand in Galveston looks/is nothing like Punta Cana.
It's a nice cheap getaway, I think tortuga bay is probably the nicest spot you could travel to in the dominican republic. That said, any beach in DR probably beats Texas beaches.
Just to be clear, Canada has some pretty great beaches. Even the one I'm talking about that's cold is an awesome beach but the water there is in a bay that doesn't have a high variance of temperature from winter to summer. It acts like the AC unit for an entire city during the summer and keeps it from getting too cold in the winter. Other areas not connected to the bay have warmer waters. When I went to the beaches on long island the thing that struck me as different weren't the quality of the beach but rather how many people were there vs beaches at home.
Did a nice 200+ mile round trip ride Sunday with 13 other bike. I don't think you could get better riding weather. Clear sunny skies and 68 degrees.

A little video shot by a passenger on another bike. We were having some fun with a group of sports bikes.
I just built a X299 rig with a GTX 2080 TI and a i9 processer gaming unlocked series. and 32gig of ram running at 3600mhz. I will post some pics when I complete the build. Right now I am overclocking.
