It’s Monday. It was a hot weekend. So hot that even skeletons were looking for ways to keep cool. A buddy and I were heading home from a movie when we came across this unexpected display. Apparently, these skeletons were enjoying their off-season by partaking in some summer activities. Dressed up in their best summer attire, they really know how to beat the summer heat and humidity. We got a good laugh out of it before snapping this photo.

Caught the Deadpool & Wolverine movie Saturday afternoon. If you’re a Deadpool fan then you already know what to expect—extreme violence and raw humor—and it did not disappoint. I loved every second of it.

I also attended a car show over the weekend. I’ll feature the photos in tomorrow’s update.

It’s Friday! Whew! It has been a warm and extremely humid week here in Illinois. I can take the heat but the humidity just drains the life outa me. I’ll be happy when it moves the hell out of here.

I’ve been catching the Olympics at night while working to migrate all my data to the new Surface Studio 2 Plus. While the summer games have been good, I’ve discovered that I greatly prefer the winter games. I know, I generally hate all things winter and that hasn’t changed. However, when it comes to the Olympic games, I find the winter events more interesting. Give me Alpine Skiing, the Luge, Cross-country Skiing, Ski Jumping, Snowboarding, Skeleton, and even Curling! I’m not saying that I would be out there doing any of those things, but I love watching ’em!

I could really go for some racing right now as we head into the second week without Nascar. Definitely feelin’ those withdrawal symptoms.

Okay, it is Friday once again and I have a new amateur photo to share with all of you. And don’t forget about the double babes & double jokes as well! Enjoy!

Keep, I think you know what to do with this. No names. -Anonymous

It’s Thursday. Several weeks ago I destroyed my beloved Microsoft Surface Studio 2 computer by accidentally pulling it off of my desk. It hit the tile floor hard and shattered the gorgeous 4k screen. I just sat there looking over the edge unable to believe what I had just done. If there was a silver lining to this mess, it was that while the screen was toast, the computer itself was still in working condition. I was able to connect a monitor to it and continued using it.

I immediately set out upon a quest to find a replacement. I quickly found one on eBay and purchased it. It was a newer model than mine, a 2 Plus, so I was excited. It arrived a couple days later and my excitement soon turned to disappointment. It arrived damaged. FedEx allowed another package to poke a hole in the box and it was enough to go through the packaging foam and damage the screen. I returned it and the seller refunded my money.

A few weeks later I found another 2 Plus and purchased it. This one was located in DeKalb, Illinois, which was only about an hour away from where I live. After having one damaged in transit, I contacted the seller and asked if I could drive up and pick it up myself. He didn’t seem to have a problem with it, so we agreed that I would be there before noon to pick it up. I drove up the next day and it was an easy drive that took slightly over an hour. The address he gave me was to a strip mall with several different businesses in it—none of which were the one I was looking for. I started getting angry. I texted him that I was at the address he provided and he replied that he had already shipped it to me. Now I was beyond angry. I asked why he did that, explaining that we agreed that I would pick it up and he claimed he forgot. I realized that I had driven up there for nothing and my language in my texts became much more colorful. No response. I was pissed. All I could do is drive back home without the computer and wait for it to be delivered. Fortunately, it arrived the next day and it was in good condition with no damage.

I’m relieved that everything turned out okay, but I’m still pissed about wasting half the day to drive up there for nothing. I have to write a review of this seller and even though it turned out okay, I’m still pissed about being lied to and driving to a nonexistent store. It’s not going to be pretty.
