Man, after the holidays these two-day weekends are @(*@ !()#!. Did get many errands and chores done and it was a beautiful weekend for spending time on the deck. Good Zoom call on Sunday but apparently we need to file for visitation time to get @dangerousdon to join a call with us. Made a watch purchase over the weekend so now I don't have to keep looking for a deal while I wait for the that one to show up.

There are a lot of the "basics" I've never used. I ended up with a stick of Arko lying around and decided to give it a go. I think this squarely lies within @woodpusher's wheelhouse of "meh". I was fine. The shave was fine and serviceable. And there really wasn't any urine puck scent until the final rinse.

Today was a snoozer with an over 4-hour presentation this morning, but at least at the end, we got lunch to take with us. I just got billed for the shipping on a Kickstarter watch I paid for long ago, so it looks like the light is at the end of the tunnel for finally getting that one. Weird weather patterns today with a storm blowing in from Gear's direction. This morning it was dark and windy, but warm. Kinda cool. Now it's rainy but not cold. And the planes have been landing backward more days than not this month. (Cue some fool making a joke about landing tail first)

Ah.....its just that....the other day, the facebook page posted a new photo. So everyone is asking if this means they're back in business. I still have half a case of Anchor Steam in my beer fridge (think of it as a mini version of warehouse 1) and I'd like to drink it knowing I'm not drinking the last Anchor Steam on the planet.
I thought beer gets worse with age.
