in other news, i finally upgraded my flatbed scanner. i’ve been wanting an epson v850 for a while but didn’t wanna drop $1500. i found one new in the box in japan on ebay for $500 and bought a US power cable for it. wish i’d thought of this years ago

feelin’ luck-enbach? 🍀 corny caption aside, we were rewarded with a beautiful day and a nice sunset as james mcmurtry played, and topped it off with a little nightcap from hayes carll and the band of heathens.
big thanks to allen’s boots in austin for the new lid too!
