When I was in Ellison Bay having the car looked at (just before we replaced it with a 2015 Chevy Equinox), and, when I was waiting for someone to check it out, the guy who went for a test drive with it looked a lot like Michael Mando (the guy who plays Nacho on Better Call Saul.) I didn't think much of it at the time, but then I remembered this scene shortly after the check engine light came on and it became clear that the old Saturn Vue wouldn't last the rest of the trip:
(relevant scene is a lit less than 3 minutes in)
And I would like to think that this was only a matter of chance. I would really like to not have my takeaway from this not be "don't trust the health of my car to a skinny, short-haired young Latino who seems nice because this is going to be like that scene with Pryce's eyesore Hummer all over again."
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

Heat index is up to 105 for the last 48 hours or so, had my misters on the entire time to keep my greenhouse from turning into an oven, trying not to get boiled myself. Goddamnn this climate hoax is a drag!
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Slowly but surely getting moved in. I took a couple of days off to try and get shit done. My youngest and I have been moving stuff and we're almost down to the stuff I'm unwilling or unable to move myself.
My handydude wrapped up installing our fancy garage door opener today, tomorrow he's installing the washer/dryer and starting drywalling the garage in the morning.
Don't know if I mentioned it but I'm now working from home which opens up a ton of other job opportunities now that I'm classified as a remote worker. We have offices un New Zealand, the UK, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil in addition to those scattered across the US. Once I have a few years of proven remote work under my belt, we may be able to make our move to Mexico sooner than planned.
I am in a race with myself. In 6.5 hours my weekend-off begins, and I am trying to finish a relative handful of non-urgent tasks before I have no fucks left to give.
Chilling on the back deck with a beer, a bowl, and Bob Marley. Giving some serious thought to pulling some weeds. Or having another beer. My lovely wife already thinks I've been working too hard.

Have a beer and pull some weeds at the same time. You'll wake up with dirty fingers and have no idea why.
