Since I'm spending a little more time here, I thought I'd put this out there for my ACL fam going through it:
I believe in you. You can do this. You will be back, better than ever. #ACLcomeback #ACLrecovery #ACLrehab #ACLsurgery

Y'all, I'm sad. My favorite Vegas brewery is closing next month. If you're going there soon, go visit HUDL for me. Their beers are amazing.

"Wait. You tore your ACL just last season? You don't ski any different. Maybe better. Wow." - one of my ski patrol's senior trainers, when he was prepping me for the NSP Senior S&T eval in 2010.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

8 loads of laundry was all it took for the replacement drain pump to fail. I don't get it. Previous replacement lasted I think 2 years, which is still dogshit. Not putting up with that anymore. I won't get to see it crushed or whatever, so will have to settle for imagining this happening to it:

At some point, you stop replacing drain pumps in a 12-year-old washing machine and replace the whole goddamn thing, right?

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Fun night of #TAFC7v7 footy against our Thundercats pals. Brutal way to salvage a draw at the death via an OG, but soccer do be like that sometimes. Almost 3 miles says my Fitbit, but the GPS artwork looks like nonsense, so I don't buy that distance. At least the map itself finally looks right.

The soccer went wrong, and now so too has the washer repair. Drain pump replacement was the easy part.
Trying to replace the door seal boot when you've got a too-small replacement part is a recipe for frustration, friends. 0/10 do not recommend. Correct seal arrives Tuesday.
