Holidays are over, folks. Shut up and get back to work. Well at least it's Friday. Put up your feet and enjoy a cigar because apparently that's what you idiots are into these days. I don't know about your neck of the woods but it is chilly here. It's about 34F now with a high of 45. I've got a chicken carcass on the stove cooking down with veggie butts for chicken noodle soup later. I know we'll have colder weather over the next month but it's bearable for now. I'm enjoying doing cozy shit indoors. The days are getting longer again but it's still pretty grey. Who already broke their new year's resolution? Happy Friday, y'all!
Just picked up an Alec Bradley sampler pack from total wine. Taking those and some Punch stogies up to Colorado skiing. Should be nice.
trying not to, I got a helmet this time. a few months ago my sister in law showed her mother, who is a doctor, my latest mri and her mother started freaking out saying if I got a concussion it could kill me blah blah blah.... SIL started laughing and cut her off, said yeah he’s had like six at least already. If god wanted to kill me young he already had a chance.
I've actually been using my ski helmet while on ladders. No accidents (yet). Though working specifically on re-learning my balance in the gym has probably helped with that as well. Haven't broken a bone in about a year... I think there might have been a finger or nose or something in the last few months, I forget, but nothing major. That qualifies as a record!
Bless your hearts, you actually think he's going to arrive in Colorado. My money's on a headline more like: Texas Man Severely Injured Attempting to Snow Ski Down Aztec Temple. "I'm fine, this shit happens all the time. I honestly expected more snow and less bricks." Because brain tumor.
The most interesting part of the story is that there is actually a street named "Lovers Lane" in Kentucky, and it's paved so that God and all the locals can gawk and judge you.
Gotta love small town, Texas. Getting new brake pads and rotors, oil changed, change out transfer case fluid, the whole shebang. Head mechanic grew up around where we’re going so he’s not charging labor on the breaks, just said have fun in Colorado.
All their coffee table reading was hunting and fishing magazines and Guns and Ammo. One of the mechanics saw me reading the guns and ammo and told me I wouldn’t believe the number of people who come in with shotguns and rifles just laying on their back seat. Because.... Texas?
I'm spending more and more time in Tokyo these days (heading back for 2 more weeks at the end of the month), and I just found out about the new James May series, "James May, Our Man in Japan". https://www.amazon.com/James-May-Our-Japan-Season/dp/B082WM379P It's fucking hilarious, and spot on.
