Morning Monkeys.

Up simi early, need to watch the race. I wasn't able to get up in time to watch it live. Weather is clear again today, so I will mow before I decorate. The wife is doing the tree, I'm doing the yard.

Heating up after watching son play soccer on a cold freezing day. He did score two goals and they won.

Spend most of the day fixing up the house. First painting and then cleaning old crap out the basement.

Wife took doggo for a five mile hike this morning while my fat ass stayed home to rest my jacked up back. It's no worse after running yesterday, so at least there is that.

Here. Last day before work starts again. Selling of misc bike stuff that's too small for the girls and car stuff from the Honda is occuring. Supposedly going to mini-golf with family at some point here. I logged into my work email last night, just to check my calendar to see when my first all is. There are a LOT of emails that I need to address.

So exactly how did it go down?
So, it’s not a crazy story or anything, but mildly annoying. We have travelled all year (internationally, etc), with my kid’s chosen name as the first name on his ticket. Ash got their license, so this trip was the first one they have had it. (You don’t need ID under 18).
We get to Hartford/BDL at 4:40. Lines slammed out the door, even pre-check. Wait in line 20 minutes, get to bitch-face power tripper TSA lady, no dice. ID didn’t match the ticket. Had to walk out the in line, go to the AA counter, she couldn’t change the name, but supposedly embedded something in the scan that should work, but no guarantees.
Waited 1/2 hour this time (our flight was getting close).
Same lady starts in on us again, but a friendlier supervisor overheard, and just told ash “don’t present your ID, just say you are under 18”.
Bitchface doesn’t like this, but was out-ranked. BF was really, really trying to have us go postal, miss our flight, etc.
Younger super says “Have a great day, not everyone will”, and turns around and smiles at bitchface.
Stressful, lame, and truly needless.

Just after that the luggage scan TSA dude did me a solid, I had a bottle of non-alcoholic Zzyqyl in my carryon, I forgot, oops. He asks me what’s in it, smells it, does a chemical sniff or something, and kind of slyly asks “Your doctor recommended this medicine, correct?” And arched his eyebrow.
“Why yes, sir, he did”.
“Have a nice day”
It all got better from there.

^^^ Ruth gives me shit for refusing to get a Real ID Drivers License. I refuse to go to the DMV unless I absolutely have to. Her thing is you need it to fly domestically. One I fly perhaps once every 5-6 years. Secondly I have a US Passport card which is good to fly in the USA and a passport for every where else so why the fuck would I bother. FUCK THE TSA NAZI's

Mini-golf went to shit with Hannah. And after we got home, found out that's Wifey's cousin died last night. We don't know the details, but there's reason to assume that it involved drunks at the bar he was security for the night. FTS.
