I'm On Top Of The World

Everything's so perfect right now. It's been like this since I woke up this a.m after the best sleep I've ever had. I'm so rested.

It started with an alert on my phone. Not an alarm, I don't use those anymore, an alert which is odd itself cuz Atlas typically wakes me up anywhere between 2 and 6am, not my phone. Not this day. On this day she let herself out, I slept until 7. She unlocked the deadbolt and let herself out, pissed and pooped, picked up the poop, threw it in the garbage on the side of the house like a good girl and let herself back in, locking the door behind her and let me sleep until 7 when my phone made a weird sound.

Not weird like trying to pronounce the president of China's name but weird like it only does that when my bank suspects fraudulent activity.

The electric company refunded my June payment. They reimbursed my account $143 and left this note in my inbox:

I know! I don't know how to say Xi either.

I'm the coffee prepper in the house. And trash man. I take out all the trash. We have a drip kind—coffee. Today, however, Pura had a shot of espresso delivered to me in bed imported directly from Paris. It was still hot!

And some pastries. A dark chocolate, peanut-buttery donut thing and a frosted, cinnamon cookie thing.

Meh.

I'm not really into sweets but, overnighted from Paris directly to my side of the bed, I might as well eat it.

I know! All that and I haven't even pooped yet.

Played a game of chess / Won a game of chess. Dominos / Win. Investments / Green. Rule 8 / 12 Rules For Life. It's / Time.

Mhm..

I know! It was SO clean I felt like I took a shower.

Shower / Shave. Gym / Gas up the car. Still had a 1/2 tank but there's no line at the gas station so, top it off, thinks me. Stop / Park.

Barely got the car turned off and they're already pumping my gas.

How'd you know what kinda gas I wanted?

"Congratulations!"

What now!!

Apparently I was the millionth or 10 millionth customer, I forget which one now, the one who when they top off their tank they win unlimited car washes for life.

Perfect!

What a day. WHAT A LIFE! What a meritorious fucking life!! Everything's just so perfect. Not a single thing to complain about, nothing, no meal is undercooked, every signal light is green. Any better would be illegal.

I was just around the corner from the house. Car's clean / Gassed up. Surprise Pura, me thinks, we'll all go to the top of the Appalachian's for lunch since it's such a perfect, sunny, clear day with no traffic and see how far we can see—perfect!

There's a dry cleaning service van parked in the driveway. Never seen that before. They must have the wrong address.

He stepped out of the van as I pulled into the garage—clipboard in hand.

Can I help you?

They just opened down the road, he explained, it's their grand opening. To celebrate, he's offering me a complimentary dry cleaning service.

You wanna do my laundry for free?

"Yes'ir, for a year, you won't regret it. Same day pick up and delivery, too."

I know!! I can not lose today, everything's just so perfect. My phone never dropped below 100%, I had the whole gym to myself, free car washes for life and now this—I don't have to buy laundry detergent for a whole year!

Be right back..

Went inside, grabbed the clothes hamper, threw all the dirties in it and relayed the news to Pura.

There's a laundry service outside that's gonna wash all of our clothes for free for a year.

"Free laundry service??"

She took off what she was wearing and threw that in the hamper too.

Gimme three steps gimme three steps mister goes Pura all cautiously / anxiously like the time we were walking through Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and two ladies came rushing out of the ampitheater cuz one of theirs daughter just went into labor and she's gonna be a grandma for the first time so they have to leave the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert immediately and we were the first people they saw so they gave us their tickets and bolted like Usain.


IMG_6543.jpeg


Come back another time!

I yelled at the doorbell cam app to free laundry dude still waiting on the front porch cuz I can't expect you to believe a single thing I've said if you think I expect you to believe I left her all by herself like that.

Sort:  

I want pastries and free concert tickets.

Ever notice how easy it is to change a whole sentence with just one letter?

Oh you mean like:

I want pasties and free concert tickets?

I love the view of the world you shared, but at first, seeing the alert you said made me l wonder if it was a bank alert that was given to you. Lol

I know!! They just alerted me again. Until January, 2024, I don't have to pay taxes!


What's up man? I think we've met before but nice to meet again. Appreciate you keeping an eye on me.

It's a good one you won't be bothered about taxes again cus to me, it's sometimes stressful to pay.

I have been good, what about you? We have actually met but it's been a while

Only great if that counts. = }

Yeah, hope to see you more often

Lol. Imagine if you did get free laundry done for a year. That would bloody rock!

I know!! Not just washed like we do but dry cleaned like rich people and it hasn't stopped.

Merrell just deliver a brand new pair of shoes to me. Said they value my business and want me try out their new water line.

Dude! You live a charmed one... I'm gonna scrub the whole D and A thing offa this writey stuff and claim this as my day as it is so much more palatable than the truth!

I would have settled for one part of the day;

Not an alarm, I don't use those anymore

That would've done me just fine, who needs free power, laundry and carwashes? Right?

I refuse to confirm to prescribed, expected behaviours and declare that I do believe it, all of it, and demand that you believe that!

If by some bizarre fluke, this was not an accurate portrayal of events, then I wish you and Pura this exact day for tomorrow!!!

Sending you both all the very best ;)

I know!! Only alarm I know of is a car alarm.

It was totally accurate dude but I'd like to accept your kindness anyway if it's still an option. All day long Steve, it didn't stop. I even hit a hole in one down at the local miniature golf course.

It was a Par 9!!

What a day dude, did you forget that you saw Tupac and Biggie battling in your back yard too? Damn that was dope!

I know!! They did an exclusive battle right there in my backyard and didn't even leak my address.

I think the favorite of the day for me though was Einstein and Tesla getting into a science nerd argument and Tesla zapping Einstein with his Tesla coil.

Dammit. I gotta jump out of character.


Man, the fifth year of my apprenticeship, final year, as our final class project, we designed a Tesla coil. Scotty, our 5th year instructor is eerie smart. Can't put a dollar in a vending machine but if ants can generate electricity, he lives on an ant hill. He had all the answers.

We used a 15kv DC transformer for voltage, a 3" piece of PVC about 4 feet tall with at least 100 tightly wound wraps of #12 copper coiled around it.

Around the set-up and parallel to the table, we built it on a table, is like 20-30 more windings in a #2 wire if I'm not mistaken spaced roughly 1-2 inches apart that we made big circles out of on the desk.

Man I hope I'm painting a good picture.

Fired up that transformer and Ka'pow! All dozen or so fluorescent fixtures in the ceiling lit up without the switch.

There was four classrooms in there and we could get the lights and computers and shit to flicker in all four rooms with that Tesla coil. Each of us students was walking around the school holding a 4' fluorescent tube like a light saber, the closer you get to the coil, the brighter it got.

Yep… oh those days 😋 they would be soooo sweet…. For sure 😉😎 but do we want that?

Have a fantastic new week @dandays 👋🏻
!HUG (s) for all 🤗

Dear @dandays, you just got hugged.

I know!! And it hasn't stopped. I ordered trout for lunch and they took us out on the boat, fishing, eating fresh trout right out of the lake.

Best trip on the boat ever… 😋

That sounds like a day you don't ever want to end. How are you doing buddy, I could use a day like that right about now, but just with a different set of things going my way.

Free car washes for a year, I'll skip that, by the time I got the car home it would be dirty once again from the 2 miles of dirt road leading to home.

Free laundry for a year, I'll skip that also, I don't need someone judging me by the rags I wear.

I like my sweets, but peanut butter only goes with grape jelly spread over Wonder Bread and expresso is not my cup of TEA.

No dog to worry about.

I would take the Lynyrd Skynyrd tickets though.

Life has its ups and downs and right now I'm looking to view it from the summit of
Mount Mitchell.

My man, what in the heck is up? Nice to see you Sweed. Is it just me or is ONE white bread PB&J magical? When I go to the market and bread is needed, never fails, I get to the bread aisle and I know I don't like white bread. Very little purpose for it. Croutons, maybe. But that ONE PB&J on white bread is so got dang tempting I regularly come home with a loaf of it and regret it as soon as I'm done with that sandwich. Still got a whole loaf in the fridge now, all but two slices, it'll mold in no time.

Nah, I don't miss you at all, in case you can't tell.

Well, this is interesting.. I don't know if I've never seen the video or just never paid attention til now but how perfect is this 40 year old song in July, 2023?

What's up, some great stuff that we've been told to keep on the low down for now, and some heavy shit that is playing on our heads that we're dealing with right now.

PBJ on Wonder Bread, I think that was the topic of discussion when we first met. You know, my go-to when Robin is away.

Great song that I haven't heard for a while. I've never seen the video either. The dirty laundry just seems to get dirtier every day, my reason to put all of that shit, which I have no control over, on the back burner, or more precisely on no burner at all.

When it's all said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king.

I'm headed out of town in a few hours, going back to NJ. I don't think I would ever set foot in that state again if it wasn't for the fact that 3 out of 4 of our kids live there.

Later pal, and say hello to the wife for us.

Happy to see in truth you have everything you need to be on top 😘 Pura, Atlas and Coffee

Would love to have this chocolat pastry now 🤨

Damn technology. Until I'm able to text you this pastry I'm not very impressed with it.


Hello, Beeber. Love it you hang out with me. You deserve a perfect day way more than me. I hope you feel better right now than you have all year.

<3

So glad you ate the pastries, this is how I know this is all true.

I am so happy you and pura are happy, All this blab tells me you two are going strong. Hehe, I am giddy.untitled.gif

Once upon a time..

Life was doing lifey things but instead of practicing transparency which no one expects to find online anyway I pretended everything's hunky dory and completely muted what's real.

..and they all lived happily ever after.


@farm-mom, more than THIS. Thank you. <3

I can't believe how many good things happened to you in one day. It sounds like you were really lucky. I'm glad you had such a great day.

I especially liked the part about the dry cleaning service. It's funny how you thought they had the wrong address, but it turned out they were just offering you a free service. That's definitely a sign that you were having a lucky day.

I know! I knew it would be tough to believe, that's why I wrote it down. = }

All day long, that day, it was crazy. People did what they said they were gonna do, even, one after the other. Unreal.

Give me one of these days dude! Tomorrow I shall take my turn and pass it on to someone else the day after, ok?

Atlas (haha I wrote Pura here, oops) let herself out, and put the poop in a bag, sure sure! UHU something smells fishy here! Not sure if it's the poop or the story :)

Have a great week ahead! <3

I know!! That's why I wrote it down or for sure you wouldn't believe she bathed herself too! Crazy. I heard her back there blow drying her hair.

I have no idea how she plugged it in.

Amazing, how does she do it?
You get the biggest tip of the day for this comment making me laugh while being all dozed out thanks to the heavy meds lol

Are we secret fans of The Carpenters? That would be worrisome!

The photo from the top of the mountain is your signature photo of the week. Those colours. That view!

Let's hope Professor Peterson does refunds, or at least includes a caveat for artistic licence on Hive blogs. I've got a wholenload of dry cleaning I was going to ship over!

Loading...

Proof Please...

Shit ain't never REAL for me without proof.! Real proof too...

Not that photo shopped shizz you gave me last time bro!!!

I know!! I need proof, I know this. I was gonna snap a shot of it dude but it was a ghost turd. Felt it / Heard it. Clean / Gone.

It was gone—nothin but net. I didn't even have to flush it.

Ah man now that's a classic meme, I know kids these days won't get to see that one too often. Sadly they also won’t understand the rare occurrence that is, considering how many are walking around these days.
