Last night, we passed a big ol truck outside Chicago that had giant, scripted text on the tailgate that read, “SACATES LAS CHICHIS”

This morning, I have regrets about not complying.

Burnt out and trying my best to avoid a full on melt down.

I just had to deplane my flight cause they noticed a big dent on the plane. Hahah. First time with that one.

The past 5 weeks: intense work, a wedding, travel (Minnesota, camping in Northern Iowa, and Detroit 3 times), birthdays, dog sitting for family, and hosting friends from outta town. With Hockey + Golf leagues and Chicago next weekend… this ass is deadass dead.

Gimme 1 week of nothingness. Plz.

On a flight that has a bee on it and people are very concerned, lol. One man is taking it into his own hands to find and kill that thing.

Having Claude and ChatGPT in Apple CarPlay is such a game changer.

Planned to camp for the holiday weekend, but since it’s 95°, we decided to head toward cooler temps and booked a last minute cabin up north.

Tonight, I drove over the back of a 300 yard green, somehow hit a 5-iron 250 yards, and stuck a green over the trees with my 4-iron from the rough of the wrong fairway.. 216 out.

I made stupid mistakes along the way, but also had some hero shit. 1-over after 4, 5-over after 9. Felt pretty good.

Had the best feeling round of golf that I’ve had in a very long time tonight. Took it easy, thought about my grandma a lot and finished the round with 2 eagle putt opportunities. I made neither, but still scored well.

According to my Apple Watch, I got a perfect 100/100 sleep score last night.

Who sleep like dis?

You ever wanna do something and it's just not workin out, so you try to do some other things to make up for it, but they're not working out either, so you have like 5 things failing at the same time, and you just feel like a big piece of shit?

Tonight at golf I got yelled at by some old ladies on the wrong tee box, got drilled by a line drive golf ball from one of my buddies, and had a near hole-in-one lip out. What a round. Holy shit.

It’s been a while since I’ve stayed up for 24 hours… but we’re home. 😴

If parents can bring babies and toddlers on flights, just give us adult-only flight options, please, for the love of fuck. 8-straight hours of wailing and screaming on this trans-Atlantic flight. God. Dammit.

Someone just said to me, “You are like if Bam Margera made better life choices.”

We’ve been taking a lot of Bolt rides in Portugal. The EV game is incredible around these parts. China, Spain, and Germany are producing some seriously cool cars that we don’t get in the US.

It’s midnight in Porto and I’m on a patio watching the Portugal vs Croatia World Cup game on a big screen with the Douro River and cityscape in the background. Drinking Super Bocks.

Heading out on a spontaneous trip to celebrate America’s 250th… in Portugal.
