Books!
I have some that have struck my interest below, but also feel free to take that as a rough guide.
I'm a different size!
I've lost 30 lbs this year and found that my clothes fit differently! Any refresh would be appreaicted. Your chance to dress Dave! Button downs, short, long sleeve, whatever, it all needs a refresh!
Clothes Sizes
Shirts: Large Tall. athletic or fitted appreciated. 16 1/2-37; Waist: 34; Inseam: 36; Shoe: 14
Casual TShirts, Button Downs
Large Tall ideally, not too bulky in body, but long enough in arms (or short sleeved). With or without collars. Looks good. Everyday wear. Button down good with jeans or non-khaki pants. Casual daily work wear.
Fitness!
I've worked on getting fit this year! Anything people have run across or made their fitness more fun would be appreciated! I am looking to upgrade my bike tech, for example.
Chevelle
I have the maintenance guide, but any tools or materials that add to the context of the ol 69 muscle car would be fun.
Reference: Non-Fiction Books I've Read This Year
The Wager, What an Owl Knows, Entangled Life, The Myth of Normal, The Unflattening, City on Mars and Good Arguments, Fortunes Children: The Fall of House Vanderbilt... Any top rated non-fiction is a good bet, doesn't need to be recent.
Reference: Fiction Books I Read This Year that I Liked
Bacchanal, 1Q84, The Altas Six. I'm interested in Huga/Nebula nominees, anything good, really. I'm coming off a long heavy non-fiction and looking to re-enter the fiction world!
Kitty Engagement!
As a cat parent, one of my goals is to provide as diverse and engrosing world as possible in my house to keep my cats psychologically and physically healthy. I am always on the lookout for new ways to do that. CJs Bday gift of a puff ball gun is great!

The Machinery of Life (Book)
Leared about this book from https://jsomers.net/i-should-have-loved-biology/
Love Triangle: How Trigonometry Shapes the World
The Half-Life of Facts: Why Everything We Know Has an Expiration Date
The Book Against Death
Kafka on the Shore
Push up Parallelettes
Something like the link below. I've found that doing pushups at the higher range of motion is magical. But its hard to do with just dumbells. And if they can support L-Sits as well, perfect.
Gymnastic Rings
For body ups and dips workouts.
