I am so deeply amused that Top Gear is found in the Retro TV play list on Peacock next to Little House on the Prairie, The Andy Griffith Show, Gun smoke, and Three’s Company.

Like a demon resurrected from the bowels of Hell itself, our Samsung ice maker started making ice again. It never worked right. Always jammed. Was absolutely miserable and is the reason I will never buy a Samsung refrigerator again. However today. After years. It started making ice again. Devil ice.

The water pressure at our kitchen faucet dropped. I took it apart to clean it and oof. Rubber gaskets just dissolved in my hand. Had to replace all of it.
20 years and 30lbs ago I fit under the sink just fine. Today I’m gorilla sized with the patience of a toddler.
Omg. I hurt… but it’s done.

There’s something that I love about this Murderbot show on AppleTV. The actors are so good and the premise makes for awesome Sci-Fi. I can’t seem to get enough.

My 21y daughter is sitting on the couch with me. She looks over, sees me eating a Strawberry Shortcake Ice-Cream Bar. She starts laughing because apparently it’s quite the unexpected sight.
I told her… I’m a grown ass man at nearly 50yo. Tomorrows aren’t guaranteed. Eat ice cream whenever you can.
