Probably not. I’ve been watching the news and there’s been no mention of any fire, controlled or otherwise, mentioned by the news parrots. I guess that’s a good thing, but we are overcast in a way that screams FIRE. Maybe it will burn off as the morning progresses.
Tori just arrived and the first words out of her mouth were, “Is there a fire?” Nina jumps in with the fact that it may be dust since it was mentioned on the news last night in reference to Las Vegas.
Electric Cars?
Tesla is tempting many states with plans to open a battery plant and NM is one of the states drooling all over themselves to woo the then here. They promise up to 6000 jobs, so it makes sense to make the effort to get the plant for the state’s economy. Also, Tesla just announced that they will soon offer an entry level car in their inventory soon. $35,000 + or –
They are also causing controversy with several states about their “dealerless” sales model. Three states have laws prohibiting or restricting this type of business model. Tesla sells online mostly and they sell directly to the customer exclusively. No dealers or salespeople to deal with, just pay and go. The states are worried about sales tax loss, but if they were smart, they’d collect the tax at the time of registration like NM does. Texas, Arizona, and New Jersey are a few of the states. Wieners!
Would you buy an electric car? I know I wouldn’t, considering the limited range between charges.
Given the fact that it’s 50 years old, I can’t complain.
General
I’m thinking of throwing myself another birthday party. Every 10 years ain’t too bad, is it? No presents, just be there. Hard to believe I’ll be 60 in June. Since the 11th is a Wednesday, I’m thinking the party will have to be on the 7th or 14th, or even the 8th or 15th. Those are Saturdays and Sundays for those of you that are calendar impaired. Arrow’s Ridge or my back yard for a B-B-Q? I guess I’ll let you know when I decide when.
I had to fix an airplane problem with our September trip. One leg of our flight was on a British Airways flight and I didn’t notice this. When I went to select seats, BA wouldn’t allow it. I made a stink and got reassigned on a AA flight like I prefer. Can’t wait for this vacation.
I’m thinking of an Easter trip east, but that’s still up in the air. My last trip east was cancelled due to snow, so I’m due. Of course there’s always the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab to consider.
Just a little tip from me to you; If your eye starts to tear when you’re eating Doritos, do not wipe the tear away with the hand that’s eating. the Doritos. Ouch.
Yeah, I know this is so wrong, but I doubt any of the families are reading my blog.
Today’s Monday, so we go to the bank. Erin and I drive in the Jeep and Nina takes her car.
Nina and Erin leave me after breakfast and head to Wally World for shopping for shit that we could get delivered by our regular supplier.
Sure we pay more for it, but since our markup is percentage based, we’d make more money on the sales of that shit.
Erin is a big help to Nina at WM. She spots all the people she knows and runs to them to say hi, leaving Nina to abandon her cart and chase after her.
Navy Seals took control of a hijacked oil tanker recently. No one was hurt. Too bad, they should have executed the hijackers and set them adrift for others to find and tell the story. Good job though on retaking the ship.
All told, I think the drought that we’re experiencing is easier to handle than the weather around the rest of the country, especially the east.
Erin spent the night with us last night. Her and Nina snore in unison. It’s kinda cute.
I need a vacation.
If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. If you pick it up it dies and ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation. ~~Osho~~
Nina and I picked her up after a breakfast at Tortilla Flats in Santa Fe. It’s been a while since we’ve been there and we both had the Tortilla Flats breakfast special. Very good!
It appears that Will was M.I.A. all weekend. I’m thinking that happens more than we know. Some father, eh?
We took Erin to BK for lunch and she had a great time playing with the kids that were there. An hour later we got to leave.
Getting buggy out here again and I’m going thru windshield washer fluid twice a week. Nice day though, clear blue skies.
Met Dennis at Harley and I did not win the bike. They wouldn’t even let me have an entry. I think I may buy a Yamaha or Kawasaki just to teach them a lesson. I did see some pretty nice bikes though. I’m kinda hooked on the Fat Bob if I weren’t buy some Japanese shit to teach Harley a lesson.
Got home and Henry and I repaired a toilet in the store. My hands smelled like shit and sewage. It took longer than I thought it would. The floor in my building is make of reinforced concrete and it’s very difficult to drill into for the toilet flange. I need to buy a happier drill.
Nina and I are going to Arrow’s Ridge for music and tapas. I’ve like the tapas idea. Mostly I’m not hungry after all the appetizers that are served before each meal. I’m betting this is a big thing for A/R and will be bigger than the meals.
Looks like Tori has a new friend. Brian. She met his mom today. I think it may lead to a relationship or may actually be one now and no one’s telling me. I think he has a deformed head, but it’s just a feeling that I have. He wears a weird hat that he doesn’t take off. See where I’m going with this?
Dennis and I had pizza yesterday at a live/work loft place. Not bad, but now I have to take Nina there.
Yep, I figure that I’m due for a change in luck, so at 8:00 I’m off to Santa Fe to win a Harley. Only 274 entries will be allowed, so my odds are better than the lotto, which I play weekly.
I will meet Dennis there too. We’ll walk around, talk to some people, and then I’ll fill in the paperwork to take possession of my new bike. Dennis says it’s a Fat Boy Slim. I know, it’s an oxymoron but I kinda like the name.
I am a husband, father, grandfather, friend, business owner, traveller, Harley rider, citizen, patriot, gun owner, politically eclectic person of strange personal habits. I support police, trust no politicians, and can argue any side of an argument just to amuse myself. People love me or hate me and those that are in-between don't know me.
