Not exactly sure.
One of my old bosses is having major health issues. I could help him since he can’t work but my corresponding licensing has expired. Feel for him, cause he’s kinda screwed.

Also, I want to hire a painter and have them do one of those three story building murals of just me looking down on every one in town. That would tick them all off. A new goal for me.

I couldn't understand everything either, so I think I need to find the soundtrack and look up words.
Mrs. Velo and I have started watching MobLand with Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren. We have taken to turning on the closed captioning because the characters' thick accents paired with some unfamiliar phrases and terminology tend to make things hard to understand at times.

That one's on my watch list.

Follow up on the other days car talk. Got the new summer slippers for Das Audi (well, opted for all-seasons so maybe hiking boots is a better descriptor).

And, of course they came at me with a litany of things I should have addressed. Car is 10 years old but only has 42K miles cause old man don't go nowhere. So, fix a miniscule oil leak somewhere on the top of overhead cam stuff for $2K or so. LOL. I don't think so. You can't even see this unless you take the decorative motor cover off and look really hard. And you should really get new spark plugs. And you should flush the brake fluid. Have you considered a fuel injector flush? You know the Audi motors can carbon up. Ah, 42K miles, dude. For gods sake, they must have suggested another $4k plus of "repairs". I did opt for a new exhaust clap connection, could actually see where that was actually leaking some exhaust but politely declined all of the other BS (while thinking screw you guys!).

That was certainly a self-fulfilling prophecy and very astute of you to know what was coming.

At least they skipped the muffler belt and blinker fluid.

A couple of guys were standing by me as I looked out the east windows during intermission. We saw an ambulance and fire truck along the sidewalk, and they said they were told by EMTs that there was an incident and to not go down those stairs. I didn't see anything happen inside, but did see the ambulance eventually leave before the fire truck.

The guy was taken out in a modified type wheelchair thing and was wheeled out right in front of me.

Couldn't tell much about his condition I hope he is alright.

Last Stephen's event I went too also had an medical emergency.
