Do not repost anything from here. Do not follow if you have an empty account. I'm quick at blocking.
I drink (occasionally). And I know things.

Just a heads-up for any potential new followers. You need to ask yourself something before following me. Do you have any content that's not NSFW? Sexy content is great but have some other actual content about yourself. If you post exclusively porn, you will be muted/blocked. That's the rule here.

$700 for a new set of tires with some rather aggressive tread that I now regret. Then yesterday I get a light on my dash for low tire pressure. Stopped twice to check and again once I got to work. All fine. Now it looks like another $400 for new TPMs. Safety ain't cheap.

Not to beat a dead horse here, but I feel like I'm in a perpetual hangover. Pounding head and body aches for days now. No fever. And yes, I still can't taste anything. WTF am I supposed to do for breakfast? 🐴🤧🧇
Anyway I have an appointment for a tire rotation at 11:00. Let's see how I handle this.

Today I lost all sense of taste from this head cold. Just for the fuck of it, I pulled out a COVID-19 home test kit that quickly came up negative. But that kit expired two months ago. Guess I'll never know for sure.
I predict another bad night of sleep, so I'm drinking a glass of dark purple juice

Oh boy. My suspicion yesterday was correct. I've come down with something. Cold or flu or both. In any case I feel less than optimal. I thank my boss who came in this week with a cold he brought with him from his trip to Argentina. It's gonna be a long day. 3½ hour drive and then family.

All shaved, trimmed up, freshly showered and ready for tomorrow. Given all that along with three glasses of wine, I'm feeling confident.
Until I wake up tomorrow at zero dark fucking thirty again.

Good morning. I'm taking the day off in order to gather the strength for tomorrow's family festivity. I'm also taking Friday off to replenish my strength once the nephews and nieces have left with their broods.
Once the coffee kicks in, I might be a bit more cheery about all this.
Enough said.

This asshole. He was on this leg machine for at least 20 minutes until I asked if he was "about finished." He wasn't even there to workout but instead came with his posse of two gals and his buddy. All of them from Brazil I'm guessing. Anyway the others were working out while he made selfies.

Earlier this year when I settled on a retirement date, I had the notion of going completely underground in a digital sense. Just wiping my slate clean starting with a Proton email account. Now with all the Gmail AI controversy happening, I may have to get serious and maybe expedite my plans.

Haven't engaged much here lately so I figure I'd better post this proof of life video in my signature disheveled look. Don't bother turning up your speaker volume as I muted the audio here. I was just babbling about things going on last week. Walking, talking, photographing, and chewing gum is hard.

I had this for lunch. Tonight's dinner will be a few handfuls of popcorn and unsweetened iced tea. Might skip tomorrow's breakfast too.

What a two-faced fucker this guy is! Everybody's calling for him to resign for getting other senators to end the shutdown like he wants and then he posts this? Is he clueless enough to think we don't know better? Whatever the case, he's got to go.
It's a strong beer and gummie night for me.

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

There's a thing right now where you post the oldest selfie on your phone. The oldest picture of me on my phone isn't really a selfie. Back then cell phones flipped and didn't have cameras. This cropped image of me is from a separate camera but stored in my Google Photos app.

I did NOT vote today.
Instead I filled out my mail in ballot and sent it back weeks ago. Later I got the email conformation that it was received and accepted.

Lunch today. And I wonder why I don't lose weight. At least the iced tea had no calories.

You'll probably read a lot of posts like this today, but I totally forgot that I'm supposed to turn all the clocks back. I'm usually do this the night before. Not this time. I woke up around 2 this morning. Looking at my phone and the clock on the microwave clued me in.

And so it begins. Goodbye decent fall weather and hello early winter. At least it isn't a cold rain. Of course this is just the price you have to pay to keep from choking on wildfire smoke in the summer.

I cleaned out my refrigerator today both literally and figuratively. One leads to the other. I guess I better stock up here pretty quick.
