I'll take 90F over 50F any day. I know that's an unpopular opinion.

I love the heat and I'm in one of the coldest places in the US.

I lived in Seattle for about 6-7 years. I loved that area and the summers were nice and the winters were relatively mild and rarely got below freezing but the cloud cover really did a number on my mental health.

I wanted to take a nice pic with Pennywise but he didn't want to cooperate. He LOOOOOVVVVEEEESSSS biting my beard. It's really painful because he literally bites and then pulls. Every single time. So I have to be aware and push his face away.

Well I ended up getting a blurry action shot of him trying to attack my goatee.

Oh you'd be surprised. I promise you that if you walked into my house he would be all over you in less than 5 minutes. He is the most loving animal I've ever had in my entire life. He loves everyone and loves attention and loves cuddling.

He may uh... disturb your sleep though if you're sleeping on my couch. I don't allow him to sleep in my bedroom for a reason. Not anymore. I've learned my lesson.

Well honestly he'll probably sleep directly on your chest or wedge himself between your legs and the back of the couch. He'd probably move around a bit and crawl over you some. But he's settled down quite a bit lately which has been absolutely wonderful. He's about 9 months old now. Destroying less stuff for the most part.

You'd probably make it through the night just fine.

Bonus shot of me running into one of my local representatives at the bar on my block. At like, 3pm or so lol. Yes he was having a beer. He's a really good guy and is the rep at that bar but across the street where I live I have another rep (that I talk to sometimes). I had to talk politics with him and we're on the same board, of course.

I didn't recognize him at first, he was sitting right next to me and my friend. I had to pull up his FB to find a pic of him to make sure.



Conveniently I was wearing my Wiskullsin shirt. Looks like this.

I bump into my town’s mayor all the time but he’s a former cop so he always has an attitude.

I will give him credit where it’s due though. My town had and continues to have the lowest Covid rates in the state because he took it seriously and didn’t listen to the chuds.

That's actually pretty impressive. Especially from a former cop.

Maybe in 2019 or so I met our mayor and Lt. Gov of WI Mandela Barnes. It was a local presentation about gerrymandering at the municipal building and maybe 20ish people were there. Great guy and now he's running against Ron Johnson who is probably one of the top 5 worst senators in the United States. I don't think the mayor is very popular now due to how he handled the 2020 riots/murders that happened here.

A popular local business owner for decades and dear family friend (RIP) and my dad were in a 2 piece band for like 40 years so when I bring up the family friend, local politicians usually recognize my dad. The friend played drums and my dad, to his great credit, played guitar, lead singing, AND bass pedals all at the same time. No way I could do that.

Deer are a pest in WI and we absolutely need our hunting season. They kill people all the time on the roads and chronic wasting disease (for them) is terrible. Our deer hunting season is only 9 days and hunters get around 175,000 (at least last year which was down 8% from 2020).

I'm all about conservation even if it involves killing game. Sometimes it needs to be done.

edit: I always wanted to hunt with my dad when I was a kid but he kept constantly blowing it off after many promises. I'm actually glad. I couldn't kill anything. I'm a pussy.

So my friend and I went to the Rage and RTJ concert last night. We had to wait a in 3 mile line to get in just to park. So we got there right when everything started and there still was like a half mile walk through rolling hills on a street. We had to tailgate for a tad because the beers there are $13.75. We ended up missing RTJ entirely because they had a really short set.

The venue is really popular but I was not a fan. The place holds 37,000 people and it was full. I am NOT used to being around so many people so it was a bit nerve wracking. But everyone was very nice. I paid a whole lot more money to get actual seats and I'm glad. The lawn was crazy.





The terrain was so hosed. Like hardly any flat areas. The whole main area where you buy everything was on a huge slant and I almost fell many many times. This isn't the best pic to represent it but you can see that I'm standing like 30 feet away from that stand and the people are a few feet below me. And that's the best terrain in the place. It's just hill after hill. In fact you could buy lawn seats and still not be able to see show at all from what I could see due to a huge ridge before all of the seats go down. I don't get it but I was a bit out of it while there.



This is near the seating area where we were at. We were more toward the middle.



So I didn't have night mode on while taking pics so they're all pretty terrible. This is almost all I got.






The screen above us for the people in the back.




edit: also gently caress ticketmaster with all of the spiky dildos in the world. I had a few problems "claiming" the tickets I paid almost $500 for a few hours before the show. The app wasn't working, the website wasn't working, it was BS. I got them up after a while and luckily I opened the app to get the tickets (you can't print them, mobile only) and I was able to get in with them. Good, we're in, I can close it now. NOPE! They check your ticket like 4 more times to get to your seat. But.... this place is out in the middle of nowhere so there's no cell service and the tower was 100% full due to all of the people. I had no service since we got there. So what can I do to get my ticket back? NOTHING! Nothing at all. No one else has a record of it, they don't have a ticket booth or anything to help you out. A worker there tried to help out with a hotspot but she didn't have service either and another one just kept telling me to go to higher elevation to get a signal so I was walking up higher and higher and it just randomly worked. So we were able to get into our seats finally.

gently caress ticketmaster.

As someone who goes to concerts fairly frequently: screenshot your mobile tickets prior to the event (although it wouldn’t surprise me if TM’s app prevents screenshots, I don’t remember the last time I bought tickets through them).

For actually getting in, yes. It's ticketmaster. They have a barcode that has a blue bar sliding back and forth across it constantly. If it doesn't have that, then it's a screenshot. I guess.
