I’m in the San Luis Valley and the wild horses are still here!

I seem to be developing a side gig as the Questionable Handy Ma’am, who can do a lot of things very mediocrely. Today I sanded and repainted a Toyota Camry! (sort of, part of it.) Magnifique! 🖼️👌🏻

Will someone please let me use the tiny bobcat, just for a few minutes?

My belated pic from the 18th in Denver. Estimated 30k people — so many and such a tight packed crowd that after the front end of the crowd started moving, it took about 15-20 minutes for those of us in the middle/rear to start walking as well.

Got new wheel bearings recently and the dust/grease cap came off the hub. 🤦‍♀️ I'm at least 45 min from a repair place in any direction. TFW your temporary vehicle fix involves a ziploc, a hair elastic, and 🤞

I wrote a long-ass thing about one of my fave "comfort reads," Dorothy Sayers' GAUDY NIGHT. But it's way too long for this platform. So I discovered a workaround. Screenshots!

So Puck did something to his knee last week, and I ordered a gray ottoman from walmart so he can get on and off the bed easier but they substituted this monstrosity. I have never felt such irrational anger at a piece of furniture in my life. I can feel myself getting diabetes just looking at it.

In case there was any doubt that we are living in the wrong timeline

HOLY SHIT.
The end to Q’s race seemed like one more little dying of the light among so many others. But this Iditarod…somehow seems even better than if he’d finished the competition?!?
Sending love from Southern Colorado. My boy Puck perked up his ears to the video, then held my hand while I cried.

(3/3) Puck is not a fan of the horses, but he really likes the poop. I’m indifferent to the poop, but I really like the horses.
Here’s some videos, two from last month and one from when we got here yesterday evening.

(1/?) So a couple years ago, I paid $5k for 5 acres in Southern Colorado near the Rio Grande, just in case… IDK, a grizzly eats my legs and I can’t drive anymore? I may not be able to “do anything” with it, as there are rules and regs to make things more difficult for the poors. But….

I got this article of clothing the week. The pandemic started because I needed cheap warm layers immediately. I don’t particularly like this sweatshirt. A couple months into the pandemic, I told myself, when the pandemic ends, I’ll burn this thing.
I still have the sweatshirt.

I’m horrified by MANY things rn, but imo the most urgent is the Elon Musk power grab. Can he just shut down govt payments now? 🤷‍♀️ (And since i was a uscg comtractor, do his interns have my ssn? 🤷‍♀️) I used the 5 Calls app to call my representatives. It was awkward, i hated it, but may be worth doing.

pic is last night’s odometer. If anyone can correctly guess what day it’ll roll over to 400k, you’ll win a prize (TBD) that i will send you in the mail.
