For my birthday/anniversary I got a Colorado mushroom guide as well as a membership in the local mycological society. Not sure if she's trying to encourage me, or kill me. 
Happy Monday, chicos

Depends, were there any pages in the guide torn out ? Check carefully.For my birthday/anniversary I got a Colorado mushroom guide as well as a membership in the local mycological society. Not sure if she's trying to encourage me, or kill me.
Since we're on the topic of gifts for our wives... Mine is turning 50 is a month and a half.
She likes books. That's her hobby. Wtf am I supposed to get her to mark a milestone birthday that involves books? A rare first edition? A library?
Open to suggestions....

Is that a book about your facial hair?I was going to suggest 50 Shades of Grey.
"Happy 50th birthday love of my life. Better get on this, you haven't got much time left.
Love,

keistering coke on the flight home?

it is about mine!!! that's a good idea. maybe a photobook with pictures of me ageing since we had kids...
drinking with kids then...No, I'm trafficking in worn out clichés.
Continuing the run of luck(?) with the vehicles - got a flat tire on the way back from Silverton. Took it into Discount 5 min from la casa and dropped it for repair. Less than 90 min and I get a txt that the repair is done. Guy at the counter said no charge. 
Also - wife returned yesterday with the new-to-us Xterra, so we officially have way too many fuckin' cars around now.

I think they do the free tyre plugs as a loss leader, hoping you'll return to them when it needs new boots.
Mine hits 50 next year. For mine we rented a house on the coast for 3 days and my boy and his crew came out and a few friends swung by for a bit, it was pretty epic. We will likely do something similar for hers.
I played my first round here, it was tops.

If it's only plugged, it ain't fixed.
I'm pretty sure they removed the tire and patched it properly - have brand-spankin' new shiny weights like they re-balanced things...
But maybe not?
Sorry, I meant patched.
Terrifying.
no navel lint...
Hey, I actually have a job for you between now and that day BTW. Feel like making another one of my rings?
Just talked to the shop. Somebody's getting a talking to later, because the kart never should have left the shop last time with that ring on it still - especially because it's out of class spec. I have to run it down tomorrow morning and pick it up Wednesday by 5:30, else it's stuck for the week and she gets to try it out for the first time on race wknd.
I really should have gotten her into soccer or running.

Color matched with the Xterra one would hope.
I mean - they'll be black. Which is the correct color that matches any other color. And the Xterra is red. Which everyone knows is fastest.
MAGA red?
Not sure... but maybe?
I think I'm gonna chat with the shop owner about her kart while I'm there. Her motor is good - like, really good - so worth about $1500. I paid $2600 with about a other $800 of misc repair/update related things, so the kart is effectively $1900 oop for me to date. If I can get $1200-1500 for the kart, then that's a big chunk of the way to me getting a new kart and just moving the motor over. I still have bunches in the "Mark's unused stuff" piles, so I might just start going through and selling things to close the gap between the cost of a new kart and what we have in current value. That way I can not get obliterated by the new kart cost... Because it's a few grand that I'm short now - assuming I can sell the chassis for that much.

Just got back from the eye doc. No sign of Cataracts, macular degeneration, or glaucoma YAY. Both of my eyes are between 20/20 and 20/25 with my left eye staying stable for the most part with a slight change in the astigmatism The right ey show more rotation of the astigmatism but it was easily correctable to where I could read the bottom of the eyechart clearly. Same for the reader section of the progressive lenses.
give her time.
local museum/gallery visit followed by a nice lunch/dinner followed by a indie bookshop visit.
Or go bowling.
