    I biked seven miles yesterday! It's the first time I really made progress in exercise. I biked all the way to this breathtaking forest trail that runs by a lagoon, while listening to Trent and Atticus's scores of course.

    This is seriously some old man shit, but I have a set of folding closet doors that had crappy hardware installed by a brute, and for three years, they've been a hassle. The plastic wheel on one of them never locked into the groove, so instead of rolling properly, it would grind against the metal rail at the top, eventually disintegrating.

    Well, last month, I ordered a Johnson 1700 closet door kit direct from the manufacturer, ripped out the old hardware and installed the new hardware, and it's like flippin' magic. It's so smooth, I get a little burst of happiness every time I close the closet door around the washer & dryer. Bonus: The super dry installation instruction video is itself a work of precision engineering.

    I brought my motorcycle (dr650) home today. An odd chance of fb marketplace not being shit? Was as advertised plus dude was super open about the bike and straight forward from what my google-go has taught me. Even helped me tie it down to the trailer (I rented). Other than a sketch 60 mile stretch because of random March snow, the drive back from the Cities wasn’t too bad. Now I wait until the 22 of next month to take my class and get my license.

    We hired a basement contractor!

    Signed the contract today, gave them a check for the downpayment. The guy is great, and not only that, he and his wife told us how to get my Mom a COVID VACCINE. omg.

    I got her scheduled for TOMORROW AFTERNOON!!!

    Now, we gotta EMPTY THE BASEMENT!

    And I have SCIATICA.

    Wtf. But, I have a pretty high pain threshold, I've been working out with it. I'm supposed to be going to physical therapy, but when the hell am I supposed to fit THAT in?

    I have two months to completely pack up nearly 1400 square feet of basement.

    So you guys know my wife has been dying from hep c: liver disease. The recent bloodwork showed that she was on her way out.
    Well, she finally got the cure prescribed. It costs $50,000
    BUT, we basically scammed our way into some insurance.

    The insurance company wants us to pay $723 a bottle,.for.three months.

    WE HAVE SEVEN HUNDRED a month!

    SHEAP LIVES!

    (that's my pet name for my wife: sheap.)

    SHEAP LIVES!

    Farewell, MGTOW acquaintance... it's nice to see you're even more melodramatic than all those "simple-minded women who only want my money"...

    Oh, the weight that lifted.

    This story about Sisu, a dog who kept sneaking into a Dollar General to try to steal a purple unicorn toy. The animal control officer who was called in bought the toy for him and brought him to a shelter. He and his purple unicorn have since been adopted.

    My cat Agent Cooper plays fetch. Idk if I've already told y'all this.
    He's a Russian Blue, and he's about three, and ever since he was big enough to jump on and off of the bed, he's played fetch with cat toys.
    He'll bring you the toy, just like a dog. Then you throw it, and he dives and goes to get it, even if you throw it out the door, and rushes to bring it back.

    Also, he comes running and jumps in the bed with plastic grocery sacks and sets them in front of us, when we're watching tv. We're still not sure what he expects us to do with those.

    All of this sure brightens my day.
