Ain’t that the fuckin truth

Angry with myself this morning. Flying out and while in the TSA line realized I still had my knife and multitool on me. So those got surrendered.

Hey, so... Guess who has two thumbs and just spent a half hour on the phone with a Jury Duty Notice Scammer? THIS GUY! He had just enough information about me to make it seem reasonable and then whammied me with the 10K in surety bond money that I'd need to prevent it from becoming a real problem.

60+ people waiting in line at Target for what I assume is some Pokémon drop. Some even had chairs.

Finally got in my dice order so I feel like it's time to try an Extra Life fundraising push! 2 options for you dice goblins out there! www.extra-life.org/participants...

Dear Amazon. You know I just bought a tripod off of you. Do you think I'm some sort of tripod collector that wants every color variation of the same tripod I just got delivered?

Metal Cardbot has such an Armada/Energon/Cybertron feel and I love the hand feel.

MAN ON MAN did I just have fun on a cold call. I've got a 0% APR loan on the HVAC system I had installed last year. That company just called me asking if I wanted to talk to one of their loan specialists about getting a better deal.

New AndyRoo Gaming Gang Dice drop incoming.

Just about got into a fight at the grocery store by a man with chihuahua syndrome. I’ve parked my car and I’m crossing the lot when a BMW swerves past a car on a speed bump and pulls the wrong way across a handicap parking spot.

Waiting on a phone call for a concrete leveling crew that’s now 3 hours behind schedule. Get a call from an unlisted number asking if they could contract out for any Microsoft Office or Copilot services. After the whiplash I had to say “No, and why are you calling me?”

Bad news: the new Matchbox Motocompo is too big for a Dianaut. Good news:

Ugh, gotta cross the airport to our connecting flight. But wait, a savior appears.

Flight 1 complete. Highlights included a tween really really wanting my window seat and getting glare flash banged from a random lake through said window.

Early morning flights from conventions suck. Bad sleep and hard to say goodbye to friends. So goodbye friends and hope you get better sleep than I did.

Enjoyed a post convention meal and debrief with friends and I’m ready for a nap.

Walking by Artfire’s booth doing one last TFCon lap and random guy behind the table let me know that “These are all from JAPAN! Did you know that some things didn’t release in the US?”

Traveling across the country means I go for the small pick ups. Also, no signs of metal card bot.

Picard management tip: Admitting one's failures is a sign of confidence and strength. It reassures others that failing is okay.

TFCon hotel AC got the room so dried out that I just want to live in the shower and it’s life giving humidity.

We went out for burgers…
