I Hope That Deer Wasn't a Mom

Well, it finally happened.  We have a ton of deer around us.  And I spend a lot of time driving during deer hours.  And telling my MIL she shouldn't be so paranoid because no one actually hits a deer.  And so I hit one.  Well, it kinda hit me.  Either way, front 1/4 panel, bumper, headlight are all done.  And right before Mother's Day, no less.  Which was definitely not our best Mother's Day.  Both kids had games and the wifey was on call.  So everything got crammed night and there was lots of running around.  Pursuit United dropped a bourbon aged over Sakura Bloom staves.  Are they ground-flooring the next big trend?  Or is this just hype.  Enjoy!

A Fun Fest of an Odyssey of a Brake Job

Of all the car maintenance I have to perform, I've honed my brake job skills quite a bit over the last 8ish years.  But for whatever reason, Jaws decided it wasn't going to go down without a fight.  A big fight.  A break multiple tools kinda fight.   And really that was the gist of the week.  Other things happened, but they all got over-shadowed by the Tragedy in the Driveway...edy.   Enjoy!

I'm The Wizard Of Bearing Replacement

That title might be over-stating it a bit, but I realized in editing that I reference wizards twice.  So it must be a sign.   Anyways, I feel like I'm magically back to full power again.  Or at least as full power as I can get.  I'm motivated, I have energy, ready to take on everything and crush it this summer.  Which is good, because it was a full weekend.  Wizards bball, soccer tournaments, baseball games, hebrew names, definitely no time for love for Dr. Jones.   But we got some awful news from our good friends.  They had a terrible choice to make last weekend with their dog.  But we're here for them and we'll help them through it.   Enjoy!

That's the kind of bold flavor I enjoy in...Phoenix!

Another fantastic Boys Baseball Weekend in the books.  Now hopefully I didn't really dive into the history of these trips last year, because that's what I'm doing again.  If I did, well there's probably different flavors this time around.  We golfed, we pickelballed, we day drank, we baseballed.  We had multiple first-time-for-thats.  And really, there was a clear loser both times.  Huh.   And I just realized that I've also missed a week.  Didn't mean to do that.  But I traveled from Thursday-Sunday, and I'd normally record in that window.  And I just wasn't aware enough to cut the episode monday and rush it out.  Whatever, I'm sure the week I missed wasn't anything to talk home about.  Enjoy!

From The Valley de Muerte to the Week de Muerte

Remember a couple weeks ago when I woke up Monday and felt super happy and energetic and positive?  Then the day just slowly wore me down to normal?  Yeah, this was like that, except it was an entire week.  And it didn't wear me down slowly.  I strolled into the room all happy and post-vacationy and just took a sock full of quarters to the face.  And nuts.   Whiskey review!  aka The Bit That Never Ends!  A quasi-unique offering from Heaven Hill is up this time.  What brand is it and how did it do?  That's really all I got.   Enjoy!
