GOOD NEWS AND ONLY GOOD NEWS

I went to the coney island yesterday (those in the Midwest will know, those who dont- its a diner that specializes in chili or "coney" dogs and other diner-esque fare), and ordered chicken strips. They are some of the best and I was craving them something bad. I went to go pay, and swiped my rewards card, and turns out I had a free appetizer loaded on my rewards card that expired the same day. Free lunch! woot woot

 

My son got a very good job offer today. 35% pay raise and excellent benefits. Proud dad I am.

 

About 9 days ago I got a court summons for Jury Duty, Due to being the sole caregiver to my wife, there is no way I can do this. I sent a letter stating what is going on and for the last 8 days my anxiety has been thru the roof hoping to get relieved. I really did not know what we would have done if I didn't get excused. Well, today I called the number and I have been excused. Huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

 

I only have 83 payments left on my 4Runner.

 

Was that from a 7 or 8 year loan? I remember when they went to 5 year loans and people lost their minds over that. I personally never had more than a 4 year loan myself.

 

7 year loan, it’s the only way I could afford it. But I generally pay off my loans early. But this 4Runner is like buying a house. Back in 2018 I bought a Jeep Patriot with 13,000 miles for $15K. The 4Runner is 3 times that amount, but worth every penny.

 

I spit out my pop

I really hate this term, but this is the "new normal".. unfortunately. Car makers have inched prices up (look at the price of a stripped down F-150!) and people are paying it. Until they reach the threshold and consumers stop purchasing a base model SUV or truck for $55,000 its just going to keep going up.

We have a 2023 F150 Powerboost (sticker $57k) & my 2023 4Runner TRD ORP (sticker $49k). Even still, my TRD ORP is a deal compared to the F150.

 

Eye Doc tells me my "Nearsighteness" has gotten better! I says " I ate 142 trout this Spring"!
Shot me in the eye with a laser measureing contraption called the "Daytona"! I says "Miami here I come"!

 

I feel like I am having a stroke after reading that Whaaaaaaaaat?!?

 

I cant see got to wear yellow goggles at night. And i broke the nose piece on my Tag Heuers. Got JB curing now. I scored a pair of Columbia frames for $25 bucks. Coated Bifocul Sun Shading this time.

 

Just got this bad boy. Tried to get a used one, NOPE. Just buy it new. They last a couple years.

 

installed new dash camera, was able to help accident victim with my footage, red light runner

 

I just dug out a boil I had on my forearm for like 3 months! Feels so freaking good!

 

My forearm surgery is healing quick. Thanks for asking. I wouldnt wish this boil on my worst enemy.

 

I just finished plowing my garden in the front and about 8 acres of food plots for the deer.

 

Turkeys?

 

Not a lot of turkeys here in Northern Mi. Mainly I plant the plots for the deer.

 

Check it out 8 years old team Yota!He gets the Gold!

 

Switzerland is getting snow! I always keep an eye out for them because they dont get snow anymore.

 

I wonder what the dentist dug out of my head?

I here they pay pretty good for phamaceutical testing?

 

I just bought a second house!

 

I had mold in my HVAC unit under my house and it was all sealed up under there. Cleaned it and the condensation pump. I have a drain hole in the corner on my foundation where the ac drain line used to go to. Poured some cleaner down it.

 

My 22yr. old daughter graduated from WSU in May, and started a business selling bagels at farmers markets and events over the summer. She worked hard and was successful enough that now just 4 months later, she was able to open a brick and mortar shop Monday.…Bavarian Bagel Co. in Leavenworth, WA I’m just super proud of her. Often the stereotype for her generation isn’t overly positive when referring to toughness, and work ethic but that’s not my experience with her…. I can tell you some other things that are accurate generalizations but we’re keeping it positive.

 

Getting two more trees cut down before they kill someone.
