"But now and then I have to check my sales resistance."  That made me laugh.

I would love to watch less TV unfortunately my wife loves it. She's the type who has it on most of the day for background noise. It's unusual if it's off. I kid you not.

As for motor boat dudes, I come from a family who likes to fish that way. Going on vacation to a resort cabin with a boat for the week was how I grew up. Now, the neanderthals that you speak of - well, I just tolerate them. It is what it is. I'm thankful for Quetico as I know 100℅ I won't be seeing or hearing them there.
