Then yeah, that was an awesomely dumb drunk purchase! I've made a couple in my life but they've actually worked out. Oddly enough both were from infomercials involving kitchen appliances. One was the Opti-Grill and the other was a Nu-Wave induction burner thing. The Opti-Grill was well worth it for the nights I want a slab of beef but don't have time to fire up the charcoal grill and the Nu-Wave is great for camping at the lake. I have electricity on the lot but the only way to cook is either the charcoal grill or now the induction burner. Induction is much safer after a day on the water when most of the people with me are drunk!

I did the most criminal thing I've ever done today. There is a 7 mile road here that connects my town to another town. It's just a blacktop and it's twisty and a lot of fun to drive. Basically all the car guys use this road for some fun and I guess recently some people have been going to fast coming into town. Myself included I guess. It slows down to 40 and they set up one of those speed indicator things and I guess the average speed coming into town was north of 60. Now there are no houses there and in fact it comes into a bit of an industrial park. The place where I keep my cars is just off this road a half a block as you come into town. So I was out having a run and as I pop over this hill there is a cop going the other way. I wasn't doing a ridiculous speed but I was going to get a ticket. I kind of thought I could get it to the garage as long as the automatic door opener wasn't being a [expletive]. I turned off into the alley hit the door opener the door actually opens and start closing the door as I'm going through it. Door goes down and I [expletive] you not I see the cop go through the alley less than ten seconds later.

Yep what I did was wrong and douchey and one of these times they will get me. But it's not to today. Today I beat the man, just a little.

It's awfully quiet in my house with my gf gone for a few weeks doing some training.

I went to a job interview yesterday, and I dressed down a little. Instead of the whole suit and tie thing, I wore a blazer, white dress shirt, and navy blue dress pants. After I left, I realized that I had just gone to an interview dressed as Norm Peterson sans tie.

Couple years ago I was watching Cheers and realized I was wearing the same EXACT outfit as Cliff. Puffy vest, gray and black flannel shirt, jeans and adidas tennis shoes.
