Car Repairs
Reminder to self: car repairs ALWAYS take longer than expected. Always.
(a few hours later)
Got the car home around 4:30, promptly ran over the first aid kit I’d taken out and left in a precarious spot where it apparently fell into the path of the tire. Had to clean up shards of plastic all over the garage before actually parking the car. 🤦♂️

Random fact: The mural that used to be on the previous bar at that location is a Pokemon Go Gym.
Completely unrelated to the route I took, of course.

Found the ancient G2 (HTC Desire) phone (back when there were Android phones with actual KEYBOARDS!). It still runs. Wondering if there’s something I can put on there that’s newer than the ancient version of Android it has, but it’s too old for LineageOS.
Anyone know what might run on it?

Bad joke
I nearly joined a multilevel marketing campaign selling citrus flavored soy sauces, but then I realized it was just a Ponzu scheme.

Surfing with goats.
It all started when longtime Pismo Beach surfer Dana McGregor would leave his pet goat, Goatee, at home when he would go surfing and she would cry all the time he was gone, much to the annoyance of his neighbors. So, he took her to the beach with him and taught her to surf and quickly became a tourist favorite.

The kid has two sets of friends who play on our realm. Someone keeps griefing our base, and they keep blaming each other for it and trying to get the other group banned.

Power glitched a few times like it did during the windstorm a couple of weeks ago. Called the power company again. This time they came out and replaced the wires bringing power to the building. Just before sunset, so we played Uno next to the biggest window in the apartment as the outside light faded until the lights came back on and the trucks drove away.
