A radler, barkeep. It's springtime, 80+ degrees, and sunny here in Seattle, and if that ain't the weather for a goddamn radler, I dunno what is!

Th PLUMB ALL THE THINGS project has begun! The plumber and his crew blew my mind trenching a new water main into the house, and not leaving a speck of dust anywhere, and returning our front yard to something that looked even nicer AFTER they finished!

Also decided to get a whirlpool tub for myself, because when yer spending $20k on a plumbing project, why get a shitty $500 shallow tub when you can get a super deep WHIRLPOOL tub for $800?!? So... yay me!

The new job is absolutely amazing. I've been working since I was about 14, so that's 34 years now, and I have worked a lot of amazing places. But this company just FEELS good. It feels like a really good much of people, who enjoy working with each other. One of the executives took me aside today and we chatted for, like, 40 minutes about motorcycles, life, and why he was so excited to see me hired. He said, "we are basically like the Island of Misfit Toys. We get these amazing people with these weird job histories, and they all come here and do amazing work. When I saw your resume I knew you'd fit right in!"

So.... yay!

Although, when I got home, I stepped out of the car weirdly, and my ankle is all fucked up now.

But I live in America, so I don't have any healthcare, so I'll just walk it off and hope for the best.
