My in-laws finally leave to head back to the mid-west today. They've been here for 2 weeks now. I will finally get my house and my sanity back (at least what's left of it).

media blackout
I got hit on by an old lady last night while trick or treating with the kids. She was definitely a couple sheets to the wind. My wife was there and thought it was hysterical.

car salesmen
My encountering with one earlier this week had me disliking him within two minutes of the discussion starting.
  • You're telling me the car we've come to see was never even available for sale as it was already sold as a custom order
  • Then you tell me that I don't want one of those, I should buy one of these lesser models you have available instead

Just shake your rump!

What now?
Starting the process of making a new car happen. I finally have a solid budget and can move forward once I find the right car. Just need to find the right car. Been calling different dealers who don't seem to really want to sell cars.

I called a dealer in Hartford and he started telling me about how great the brakes are on the car, wouldn't let me talk. Kept trying to get me to negotiate on payments and work me over on my trade. I was trying to figure out whether the car he was listing was new or used, and get a handle on their financing rates if new. "what do you want your payment to be" "What can I do to sell you this car tonight" dude...

Riding the baggage carousel.
:wave:

Mildly successful Halloween despite balls cold + snow. Daughter and her friend were still cool with me walking around with them, which warmed the cockles of my dead and shriveled heart just a bit. Lots of homes in the hood not giving out candy, stingy motherfuckers, but there were two absolutely A+ effort amateur haunted houses.

Coffee now, may take singlespeed out around town later for a, *gasp*, bicycle ride.

Good morning Monkeys! You will be pleased to know my man-bun capable hair is progressing in an appropriate manner and should be fully backdated by mid to late 2019. I also paid money to have a reverb rebuilt... and I ate a bowl of oatmeal.

classic case of why people should not try and be heroes and come to work sick. Out of a team of 9, 6 of us are currently out sick. If that one idiot had stayed home, this might have been avoided. :rant:

With my trip to Ecuador in 1.14 weeks, I don't want to be dealing with this shit now. Though maybe it's a good time for it to happen... get it out of the way early. fingers crossed.

edited to add: it appears I jumped the gun on Dia de los muertos. I thought it was today. When I took my 5 y.o. to see Coco this winter, he wasn't ready for the concept of death, and totally freaked out at the skeletons. I told him the point of the movie was to remember the dead (or dearly departed, as it were), and that we could put pictures out for the Dia de los muertos this year. So I did that last night. But it turns out today is All Saints Day. Tomorrow is for the "ordinary" dead. Oh well. The pictures can stay up an extra day I guess.

You could have just pushed him further off, and parked there.
That's what a redneck would do.
A redneck drives a big truck with the right bumpers though, something a little out of my price range here (f***ing taxes).
