From what Dave posted, doesn't look so bad. The Undercrowns for $45 are decent.

I was thinking the same thing. And of course, 15/$45 Buesos ain't bad either. ;)

Sure. If that's what you're into.

Dropped the car in for service this morning. They called me about a recall recently. Check engine light also turned on in the past week. Let's see what I get dinged for.

Hopefully it's all recall related and doesn't cost you anything. Wife's car also has a recall on it for some engine update, have to call and make an appt to get that updated. Last time I called, their first appt wasn't for like 3 weeks. And this is just a computer update that takes about an hour. Might have to check the Kia dealership on the other side of town.

And it's not like this is a new thing where everyone is rushing to get their car fixed, the recall has been out there like 2 years. Lol

I actually went to get it updated a while back, but when I arrived, their systems were down and they couldn't process the update. I just haven't bothered to try going back.

Busy day today. Figment has his annual Dr. appointment, then packing up and heading to the mountains for the weekend. Going to visit a friend who lives a bit north of Boone NC. Home and the view are magnificent.

Speaking of days off, and you all are the first to learn of this, I've just been given one week's notice.
I've been asking for the last several weeks for a heads-up since I expected my contract was ending at the end of the month. They implied that it was budget related and that they were still trying to convert me. "Sure, sure, we'll figure it out. Just keep slaving away in the meantime", is what I heard.
I'm so disappointed.

Today is Friday, June 9, the 160th day of 2023.
There are 205 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight
On June 9, 2004, the body of Ronald Reagan arrived in Washington to lie in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda before the 40th president's funeral.
On this date
In 1732, James Oglethorpe received a charter from Britain's King George II to found the colony of Georgia.
In 1870, author Charles Dickens died in Gad's Hill Place, England.
In 1915, guitarist, songwriter and inventor Les Paul was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
In 1940, during World War II, Norway decided to surrender to the Nazis, effective at midnight.
In 1954, during the Senate Army-McCarthy hearings, Army special counsel Joseph N. Welch berated Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., asking: "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
In 1969, the Senate confirmed Warren Burger to be the new chief justice of the United States, succeeding Earl Warren.
In 1972, heavy rains triggered record flooding in the Black Hills of South Dakota; the resulting disaster left at least 238 people dead and $164 million in damage.
In 1978, leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints struck down a 148-year-old policy of excluding black men from the Mormon priesthood.
In 1983, Britain's Conservatives, led by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, won a decisive election victory.
In 1986, the Rogers Commission released its report on the Challenger disaster, criticizing NASA and rocket-builder Morton Thiokol for management problems leading to the explosion that claimed the lives of seven astronauts.
In 1993, the science-fiction film "Jurassic Park," directed by Steven Spielberg, had its world premiere in Washington, D.C.
In 2020, hundreds of mourners packed a Houston church for the funeral of George Floyd, a Black man whose death during a Minneapolis arrest inspired a worldwide reckoning over racial injustice.

Ten years ago: Risking prosecution by the U.S. government, 29-year-old intelligence analyst Edward Snowden was revealed as the source of The Guardian and The Washington Post disclosures about secret American surveillance programs. Rafael Nadal became the first man to win eight titles at the same Grand Slam tournament after beating fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in the French Open final. Inbee Park birdied the third hole of a sudden-death playoff with Catriona Matthew to win the rain-delayed LPGA Championship. "Kinky Boots" was named best musical at the Tony Awards; "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" won best play.
Five years ago: After leaving the annual G-7 summit in Canada, President Donald Trump pulled out of a joint statement with other summit leaders, citing what he called "false statements" by the host, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau warned that he wouldn't hesitate to retaliate against new U.S. tariffs. Justify, ridden by Mike Smith and trained by Bob Baffert, won the Belmont Stakes to become horse racing's 13th Triple Crown winner and the second in the past four years. Simona Halep won her first Grand Slam trophy, beating Sloane Stephens in the women's final at the French Open.
One year ago: At its first public hearing on the matter, the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, laid the blame firmly on Donald Trump, saying the assault was not spontaneous but an "attempted coup" and a direct result of the defeated president's effort to overturn the 2020 election. The hearing included a never-before-seen 12-minute video of extremist groups leading the deadly siege and startling testimony from Trump's most inner circle. The U.S. Justice Department opened a sweeping civil rights investigation into the Louisiana State Police amid mounting evidence that the agency showed a pattern of looking the other way in the face of beatings of mostly Black men. Financial reports showed that Supreme Court justices took in $800,000 in book royalties in the previous year, a lucrative supplement to their judicial salaries.

In fairness, I turned on my space heater downstairs a couple days ago for an hour or two when it was a bit nippy in the morning.
