That’s legit. I’d like to add that I’ve lost track of the number of times my wife has asked me “Why did this break? Why isn’t this working? What happened to make it stop working?” … my response every time. “I have no idea what happened but I know how to fix it.” I never considered a gun. Good idea.

That’s a great memory. There’s definitely something special about Archie. Almost timeless.

I forgot that I ordered a subscription of Archie Comics Digest. My first comic just came in the mail. What a nice surprise. Grown ass man with reading glasses reading Archie. lol. It’s such a good comic. Silly. Wholesome. Good humored endless dad jokes. Good stuff.

Since I’ve been home on furlough I’ve come to discover that my dogs spend their days in a heightened state of paranoia. What’s that over there… run. What’s that sound… run. What’s that smell… run. All day. Absolutely zero chill. Omg. Just friggin’ sit down.

Good news. I can still count bridges, bicycles, and buses. I’m not a robot.

In a shocking turn of events, I ate too much last night at the Korean BBQ joint down the street. Feeling sooooooo full.

I got to write a letter of recommendation for a young lady heading off to college. I got a bit misty. What an honor it is to love on a person and recommend them for college. Some real joy during a time where it feels so scarce.

A partial paycheck sucks. An empty paycheck sucks more. Not enjoying this ride. I’d like off now please.

For those of you interested. Here is my wife making the “fake” vomit for her high school biology students to test. This vomit needs to have sugars, starches, and no proteins. We giggled the whole time making this slop.

David Carryer @davidcarryer.com · 9d

She even gets the school resource officer (deputy sheriff) to drop off the “real” stomach contents to be tested. They buy it hook, line, and sinker. Lol

Each year my wife runs a lab in her science class where she tells the students someone in the community died and the backed-up county needs help testing the stomach contents to see what the cause of death is. She makes fake vomit. Kids test it for proteins. Kids always think it’s real. Lmao!

My daughter is in college. She did a summer internship with AARP in DC. She now has a lifetime membership at 20yo. AARP ain’t for old folks no more it seems…

I feel that should be illegal.

Dude. My clothes shrink in the closet. Stupid closet.

I was oddly amused by running head first into the reality of getting older. This is my actual expression trying to read the instructions, as well as the instructions I was trying to read. #GettingOld #NeedReadingGlasses

Someone in my house ate all my double stuff Oreo cookies. Monster! Then someone in my house replaced the cookies they ate with a brand new pack of double stuff Oreo cookie. What a sweet angel.

I am trying to watch TV but this stinker won’t stop snoring.

I’m not happy with how much home automation costs. Replacement switches and plugs should not be this expensive. First world problems I know. It still stings the pocket book.

A casserole sounds like a good solution!

No need to steal it my friend. A gift from me to you. :) Here’s the final dinner. A family favorite.

I’m making stuffed peppers tonight for dinner. I used to cut the tops off and put the filling into the pepper. Now I cut the peppers into “nacho chips” and top the peppers off. Family loves it 100 times better. Easier to serve and eat!

I just replaced the shower cartridge in my shower. It was leaking. The replacement part was $57 bucks. That replacement part had no business being $57 bucks. Had to be tariff costs. My god.
