This is the way.

Amazon cart loaded. I’m about to fire the “parts cannon” at my Suburban.

Correction: the flu beat me like *I* owed *it* money.

Stopped procrastinating and got my flu shot yesterday. Re-upped for Covid and Tetanus while I was at it.

I slacked last year and the flu beat me like it owed me money. We’re not going through that again.

BOOOOOOO! That sucks!

Trying to get that crown that one of them dropped!

Of course, being a hooptie, this sort of thing comes with the territory. I waited a beat and fired it back up. No CEL. No cutting out. No stalling.

I hope you played the lottery today, @emicidal.bsky.social! The Suburban’s CEL came on and the engine cut out on me BEFORE I GOT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT! AND IT’S A TINY PARKING LOT!

Never! We love hearing good news around these parts! I’d be worried for you if your basically new car was giving you problems like one of my decades old hoopties!

Tinfoil hat time! The French finally got fed up with us clowning them. So, they created Wemby to destroy our basketball league.

Yes, though it has many new parts now. So, I think it will wait a day or two.

Mechanic called this afternoon. 3 weeks, 2 visits, and 11 million dollars later…my Suburban is *allegedly* running properly now. They said they kept it a few extra days and drove it around to make sure it was fixed.

That is outstanding!

Saw TRON: ARES at the movies this morning. Ngl, I enjoyed it. Might even buy the DVD when it comes out.

Wow! 55F is just perfect!

82F?!?! In Canada?!?!

Still low to mid 70s here meh🫤

Maybe temps will drop next week?

I don’t want to wish away the nice weather, but I have a ton of sweaters on standby right now.

A fun part of getting old is trying to determine where/how you ended up with some new ache or pain that has appeared seemingly out of thin air.

Finally set up the PS5 that my buddy gave me when he upgraded to a fancier model. Farewell, productivity!

I seem to have a stockpile of everything but money.

Plus, Elon would be wise to simply take his billions and scurry off to whatever doomsday bunker, private island, or space station he’s set up for himself. I suspect MTG or whoever rises in the wake of all this will be taking scalps, because that’s all that’ll be left.

Now, my brain is probably addled from watching too many hollywood movies and not reading enough books, BUT…I feel like MTG senses that the current GOP is going down in flames. Planning not only to survive, but to grab a leadership stake in whatever emerges from the wreckage.

I think I said stay abroad last time you posted about coming home. Maaan, I was right on the money with that one. It’s like we’re living in the bus from SPEED.

I am here for the heel turn.

So, I said “fuck it” and pulled the trigger on the standard black vinyl box set.

I need to find a way to tap into this as a potential revenue stream!

also me: lives in America

Good news? I dropped 12 lbs over the summer.
Bad news? It wasn’t enough AND I need to tighten up my diet even more.

So, what I’m basically saying is don’t be surprised if I pop up with another hooptie soon.
