1) Benelli settlement is nearing an end. On the plus side, they're buying parts. On the minus side, they missed two expensive ones. On the plus side, they're coming back out again. On the minus side, the guy who hit me apparently told the insurance company "yeah, he was weaving in and out of traffic and we have a police report that proves he was at fault because it was a hit and run" (I'm the one that called 911 on him!) On the plus side, I schlepped my ass down to the highway patrol to get a copy of the police report which says "Driver (1) was illegally in the carpool lane without a passenger when he executed an illegal lane change across a double yellow line to attempt to cross four lanes of traffic to make an exit onto the I-10." Which is not quite the same as utter and total vindication... oh wait. Yes it is.

2) Told a buddy I'd help him sync up some audition videos for his daughter's college music program. Turns out it's a buddy of a buddy and it's actually a total mix. And there are five of them. And they wanted them in 24 hours. Even though shit's not due until the 1st. And when they failed to upload one of the videos, it was my fault. And when I said I didn't want to wait for them to drive an hour and a half with a drive because they were incapable of uploading a 5GB file at 10:30 at night I got yelled at. Uploaded the last video an hour ago but jesus fucking christ. No good deed goes unpunished. He's now mad at me for telling him not to volunteer my time after 10pm on a mutherfucking Tuesday.

3) It was so dry day before yesterday that I put a gallon of water into the carpet with the rug doctor and extracted three tablespoons. I did increase the humidity indoors from 17% to 40%, though. PHYSICS

4) Someone at the grocery store said I looked like Clay Matthews. Clay Matthews could twist me into a kleinbl00-shaped pretzel. I need to work out more.
