Alright. We die we deep dive into this thing for, like, ten minutes. Yeah. You spoke a lot about this. It was a big deal.

Enjoy. Hey. Hey. Hi. Good morning.
It's Josh and Chantel back in the studio. We weren't here on Friday. We weren't here on Saturday. We weren't here yesterday. That's a three day weekend.
Awesome. If you ask me, it was. I would agree. Had its moments. It had some great moments.
It had a a real solid Friday, wonderful Saturday, questionable Sunday. Still fine. It was still fine. Get to that in today's show. If you, are not following us on social media, you should be.
Classy ninety seven KLCE everywhere. A little teaser post happened last night, yesterday evening, to get you ready for today because there is, quite the adventure. I've been thinking about it all night Have you? How to tell this story Okay. And the big parts to hold on to to the end.
I've been try I've been I've really been thinking about it. I don't think I've got it sorted out yet. So, hopefully, by the time we get there, I'll have all the really good parts. Hammered out? Yeah.
I mean, there's I I feel like I have a a pretty good ability to get into the weeds on stuff. Yes. I agree. Settle down. Yeah.
You do. Yeah. You didn't have to agree so quickly and hastily. Hastily. I think sometimes you tell a long winded story.
Well, get ready for one sometime in the show. Because no matter how, you know, fine tuned and ironed out I get it, I still think there's probably gonna be a little meandering. There might be. Which honestly is part of the story. It's part of the story.
Isn't it? Isn't it? It is. Alright. Well, anyway, we are in the studio.
Thanks for hanging out with us. We're gonna be here all day. We are gonna be here all day. Well, until ten. Well, yeah.
I'll be here after that. You'll go do your other thing. It's, you know, the usual Monday. Well, I'll hang out with you for a couple hours. We'll be here.
Yeah. That's right. Oh. What? Cinco de Mayo.
Oh, Felicia de Mayo. Thank you. Did you put the mayonnaise in the sink? No. What?
Cinco de Mayo. Come on. No. I know it's early, but you gotta keep up a little bit. You gotta put the mayonnaise in the sink on Cinco de Mayo.
No. Nope. Dumb. That's the worst joke you've ever told. I turned an Internet meme into an, verbal joke.
I've never seen that Internet meme. That is a win for me. You think I made that up? No. I did not think you made that up.
You thought I made it up. No. I did not. You thought I made it up. Hey.
Hi. Happy welcome back to work. Yeah. Yes. Good morning.
Big fashion news. Oh, what's the latest? What's going on? Purses made of Tyrannosaurus Rex leather. Okay.
Well, that doesn't exist. So go ahead. New accessories soon. Okay. No one has T Rex leather for one.
For two, did they even have a leathery reptile hide, or were they covered in feathers? No one knows. They really knows, do they? But there there's a lot of evidence saying that they were more bird like than the raptors. You know what I'm saying?
Two biotech companies Mhmm. Are working together. They claim they can use it using synthetic dino DNA. Uh-huh. Okay.
Well, okay. What? Go on. Experts say that it won't be the real thing. Well, no kidding.
You need samples of DNA from actual T rex skin, and there isn't any. Right. So it's more of their educated guess of what, T rex leather would look like. Okay. Okay.
You're upset about this. No. I'm not upset, actually. It's it's the other column. What?
You don't care? I don't care. There's there's there's caring, and then there's whatever I'm feeling, which is not that. What is it? The opposite indifference.
Yeah. Yeah. Indifference is the opposite of hate? That's right. I I just am Indifferent.
Mhmm. Wouldn't it be cool, though, to go, like, if there's, like, somebody, like, look at my new crocodile leather bag. And you're like, oh, yeah? Look at my T rex leather bag. No.
It wouldn't be cool. No. I don't think that'd be cool either. That's not me. Plus, I you it's gonna be synthetic.
Yeah. Of course it is. Which means they're just gonna find some existing fabric that they're that they're gonna patent, and they're gonna go, look. The way we stamp this is unique. It doesn't look like crocodile.
It doesn't look like ostrich. It doesn't look like, rattlesnake. It doesn't look like cowhide. And so now, we've got our own unique looking pleather. I was looking at their prototype Mhmm.
That they have, and it looks Like every other piece of leather. Yeah. It does. Yeah. And there's, like, one section of it that's like, well, that kinda looks like leopard skin.
So what? Well, didn't you know that T Rex was spotted? Didn't you know? Not. Oh.
I did not know that. Well, that's that's the unique thing. You didn't know about it. I'm not paying attention. Pay $500 for this bag?
Thank you. No. I won't. You know why? I don't care.
I buy cheap purses. Cheapies. You know why? Because it just holds my stuff. Right.
It's a bag, and it's not ever gonna be made out of T Rex leather for real. For real. But, also, it shouldn't be. So don't fall for it is what I'm saying. I'm not trying to be all nasty in the morning.
Seem kinda nasty. I was thinking maybe you'd be into this. A little on edge about people spending money on ridiculous things like this. Hey. We spend plenty of money on ridiculous things.
I know. I have a fanny pack that looks like a belly. I know. I have strange things. I understand.
I it's probably one of the weirdest things I own. Oh, no. I'm sure there's much weirder things. What weird thing do I own? No.
I can't think of anything right now. The belly fanny pack is you got that as a Christmas gift Yeah. From me. Right. Let's be fair.
You brought it to, like, a white elephant party, and I won it. Yeah. So Congratulations. Thanks. But our money was spent on that.
Yeah. So yeah. What ridiculous thing do you own that you can think of off top here at? What? All of my You have a whole room of stuff.
Nothing in there ridiculous? You think that stuff is ridiculous? My whole room is full of ridiculous. Yeah. Yeah.
I got some ridiculous stuff. Such as? I can't think of anything. Alright. I can't think of anything specific.
I'm trying to go through my whole room, my craft room. What's on that shelf right inside the door? Your shelf of ridiculous. It's not ridiculous. Alright.
Stuff it means stuff to me. So does the belly bag. My point is, as a populist, we think that we have some sort of exclusive thing that's gonna make everybody like us better on social media or whatever. That's what I'm saying. And this bag is that column, and I don't care for that.
Daino bag. Yeah. Keep it. What my diaper bag. And you should feel foolish for spending hundreds of dollars on it.
It's my T Rex leather. Take it back. Go buy a milk or something. Go buy a milk? Yeah.
What? Something useful. A milk. Yeah. Just just one milk.
Go buy a milk. I said it. Let's get you some good news to get you going today on your Monday. There are cities in Central And Northern California that are removing certain species of trees from median strips, and all other public areas are called urban trees. Yeah.
And they're, they're removing some of these. West Coast Arborist is the company that's removing a lot of them, and they've made a commitment to the environment. They are planting two trees for every tree that is removed, which I think is a smart thing. Why are they removing them? I'm assuming it has to do with visibility or the I don't know.
The fact that they're removing them from median strips in public areas like that, that's the only thing I could think of unless they were I don't I I really don't know. I mean, putting trees in urban areas where they can flourish is a good idea because urban areas tend to not have a lot of nature in them. So I'm all in favor of of, you know, keeping that happening. Anyway, West Coast Arborists has also made a deal with a couple of guitar manufacturers, Taylor Guitars and Griffin Stringed Instruments that also help the environment. They send along some of the wood from these city trees so they can be turned into a new generation of acoustic guitars.
Oh. Yeah. The agreement, saves some money, but also allows guitars to be made and used without putting more pressure on forests in the Amazon or wherever. And it ends up being a win win for the environment and musicians. And these guitar companies can make guitars and get those in the hands of people, which I think is smart.
So I like that. Yeah. So I like that they're doing a little bit, to make an impact, sort of in the environment, in a positive way. I know. I always just get sad when they take out trees.
Right. But Sounds like they've got a plan to do more. And and who's keeping track? You know? Because you can say, well, we're planting two trees for every one we take out, aren't you?
Just be a person of your word. Let's let's hope you are. Right? Like, I wanna see it. I wanna see you planting those trees, not just taking the trees out.
Yeah. Because I'm not job is trimming trees and taking out trees. You're arborists. Right. You have to plant trees.
The thing. If you wanna continue to have a longevity with that job, you gotta have trees. That's true. That's true. You cut down all the trees, you're out of work.
So plant some trees. It's a good idea. When people cut down trees, but I know. Alright. I got a plan.
Sounds like they're trying. So I'll I'll take it as some good news to get you going. We should spend some time talking about your birthday a little bit, I think. Do we? Should we?
I mean, if you want to. Yeah. That's Did you have a birthday? I had a birthday. On Friday?
Friday. That's why the day was taken off? Yes. And? It was awesome.
Birthday was awesome. Yeah? Yeah. Except for, I went to bed the night before my birthday. Okay.
And I was late. Of 43. I was laying there, and I got a really bad charley horse. I was like, ah. Yeah.
Yeah. You were freaking out. I'm like, do you need me to punch it? What do I do? Touch it.
Just let it go away. Do you do you do that? Do you, like No. Like that? Like like, if you're tenderizing a chicken?
No. You don't touch it. You just leave it alone, and you kinda move your leg different positions. Is that right? Do you have to eat bananas?
Is that what helps with that? Is it a potassium thing? Been eating a lot of bananas, I feel like. But I was worried that you were gonna touch it because you like to do that. Well, I was I didn't, but I probably should have just started giving you those to help.
Woke up Monday morning or Friday morning, the day of my birthday, another charlie horse. Yeah. You definitely you gotta increase your mag your your, potassium. That's a big deal. Yeah.
I was telling Emery about it. Oh, I got two charlie horses. And she goes, oh, man. 44 is coming in hard. Electrolytes.
Bananas, sweet potatoes, spinach, leafy greens, apricots, lentils, orange juice, avocado, potato, acorn squash. You love acorn squash. I like all of those things. Prunes. Prunes.
Coconut water. You need hydration. You need you need this and a banana and a big glass of water. Okay. I all I drink is water, but I need I probably need some more salt in my water.
That's probably true. You do need that. Yeah. Mhmm. And then some of these.
Stop. Stop. Oh my god. I'll use my left hand. Anyway, Emery happened to mention that 44 was coming in hard.
Yeah. Well, look at you. And it did. Two Charlie horses in a matter of hours. I know.
Yeah. You need a banana. And some elastic mice. No. I don't need any of those.
Just a couple? Mm-mm. Just a one two? But For flinching? Oh, that hasn't happened in a long time.
Two for flinching? Two for flinching. My brother used to do that dumb game. Yeah. Did you do that to your little sister?
I was very kind. Liar. That's I never I never did two for flinching. I didn't learn about two for flinching until I met you, and you just do it out of nowhere and go, pump pump, two for flinching. I go, I didn't even what are you talking about?
That's the first time I heard about two for flinching. No way. Yeah way. How have you not heard about that before? I've never heard of it until I met you, and you're a bully.
That's because I was bullied. Break the cycle. Come on, man. 44 coming in hard. I did like, our our boss, told you you're rolling on quads.
Yeah. And so you went with that for the whole weekend. It. That's kept, like, patting your thighs, rolling on quads. I don't know.
Cool. It was it was cool. I am cool. Yeah. Rolling on these quads.
I'm kind of envious. I can't wait to roll on quads. I guess, till February. Be careful because you'll get a charley horse. Two in the one night.
Rolling on quads. I think it's so funny. Well, we'll tell a little bit more of these birthday stories because it was a whole day. It was a whole day. Know it.
And you didn't have to make a single decision. How about that? It was pretty awesome. Alright. We'll dive more into your birthday coming up.
Emery did a really cool thing. She had stayed up the night before my birthday, and she said that she had cried a little bit because it was so stressful for her. Well, listen. That girl put in some work on your birthday. So, let me take you back in time just a little bit because she had sent me some text messages.
Let me see when this started. It was it was quite a while. Trying to find the link. Oh, you know what? She sent it to me on Instagram.
I'd have to pull it up a different way. Anyway It doesn't matter. It's been a couple of weeks prior to your birthday that she started sending me messages. And, and she's like, look. This is some some stuff I wanna do for mom's birthday.
And then every time we were together, she's like, did you did you look at that? Have you looked at it? And I'm like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I looked at it. It's that's all I think we can do all that stuff. I think that's fine. And she's like, okay. I I I wanna do all that stuff.
And I went, okay. And then, it wasn't until Thursday that was it third like Yeah. Leading up to yeah. Thursday. Before my birthday.
Yeah. Like, I picked her up from school, and we went and got all the supplies. Like, she was not able to prior prepare. That's when we went birthday shopping. That's when we went and got all the balloons.
That's when we went and got all the stuff so that she could do all the things and the gifts and the whole thing. And so her time from, the the time we picked her up from school, she went, went and did the shopping, got home, did all the things, and then had to go to bed because there's still Friday in here. Mhmm. And you had to go to bed so that she could decorate and put up all the things that she wanted to put up. And she she wanted big happy birthday balloons, and she wanted all these other balloons that she wanted to hang pictures from.
So we had to print pictures. And at one point, you're like, I'm gonna swing by and pick up some pictures that got developed. And I'm like, no. You're not. I'll pick them up.
Don't you dare. Because then they're gonna go, there's this other one with the same last name. Is that you? And you're gonna go, what are these? And it was a whole mo what are the chances that the place is gonna call and go, hey.
You've got some film that you didn't pick up on the day I've printed additional pictures. Wild. Anyway, so got all the supplies Thursday, and then she's like, well, I think I'm gonna tuck in. I'm gonna call it a night, go into bed, and leaves the you know, gives hugs and leaves the room, and then she goes into her bedroom. And you and I are hanging out.
We're still talking. It's, like, 09:30. And I hear and she's got the air pump going filling up balloons, and it's faint. But I'm like so I text her. I was like, bro, I can kinda hear your balloon pump.
And it quit. And then she's like, my cheeks hurt because I had to blow them all up by my mouth. Aw. Or a bunch of them anyway. But yeah.
Then, she was up until, I think, like, 01:30, she said, decorating and putting all that stuff up. And then the dog was going crazy because every time a balloon would fall from the ceiling that she had attached, and it would hit the ground, the dog would get startled. And so the dog was barking. So I went out and slept in the living room to keep the dog calm for, you know, the night so that you wouldn't be disturbed and walk out and see what's going on with the dog. And ruin the surprise.
What a mess. What a mess. And so then, I did go back to bed around 04:30 or something. I went back into the bedroom, went to bed in the bed, and woke up at 07:30, I think. And then I was like, alright.
I gotta get up because I gotta like, we're making breakfast. Like, there's so many different plans that have to happen. And I know she was up late, so I'm gonna worry about breakfast. And and I've gotta fix all these balloons before everybody comes out because they're all on the floor. It was it was quite the ordeal to get the decorations.
I appreciate it. I did not appreciate the part where she said that because all of the balloons had my picture hanging from them. Yeah. And she said, all of the pictures are you eating. And she goes, oh, your cell with your double chin.
Just one where you're making that face that you do. But it was the best of the best. Oh, was it? We built an album. Yeah.
We we went through our phones and went, alright. I got this picture and this picture and this picture. Those were the best of the best. Well, that's what we both ended ended up adding to the photo album. So yeah.
Photogenic. Mhmm. Yeah. Now there's some winners in there. There were some winners.
No. I'm saying there's some real good photos in there. There were some okay ones. Right. And then some of you eating.
What? Five? Five? Two or three or four. 20 five.
Because I went to count. Yeah. So I went these are not all of me eating. Hey. Pro tip.
What's that? When you're buying balloons, they come in, six or 12. They're they're in half dozens and dozens. K. So if you're gonna print photos, then go with 24.
Not 27. Not 25. 20 seven? Why would you pick two of those? 27 in the album, and then we did the math and thought that we had ended up with 25 balloons.
Because I went, they sell them in 25 pack. Why wouldn't they sell them in a 25 pack? You buy four packs, you get a hundred. Why wouldn't they do that? They sell them in in six and twelve.
Good to know. Or, like, a hundred or, you know, a million or whatever you want. 250 little animal balloons that you can twist. But six or 12. I appreciate the balloons.
Thanks. Yeah. It was a thing. It was a whole thing. I know.
I've heard about it. But the house looked great. She did a She did a great job. An amazing job. She was pretty excited about it.
She put in a ton of work for your birthday. Thank you so much. It was really good. Well, did you have a good birthday all in all? I had a great birthday.
You guys did a fantastic job of planning things, making me feel special, made me breakfast. I got some a wax sealing kit that I wanted, all my favorite treats. I got a delivery from a friend with ice cream and chocolate milk. We It's true. It's very true.
Went to lunch. We shopped for flowers. You took me to the Butterfly Haven. Yeah. If you've never been to the Butterfly Haven, what a cool spot.
Place is awesome. It's been on a list. You found, where a couple of years ago, you had screenshotted a a post or something, and you and because you save all your screenshots, you you stumbled across it and went, look at this. A couple of years ago, I I was looking at this, and and we stoplight to get there. But, what a cool place.
That was awesome. And as a matter of fact, I recommended it to my cousin who went over the weekend as well. It's a very, very cool spot, and I didn't even know what to expect. I've I didn't know even how to get to Pingree, Idaho. I've been to Pingree now.
I've seen the Butterfly Haven, and I highly recommend. Yeah. Very cool. It my favorite part was the little button quail. Yeah.
You and, Emery decided that you wanted to try and bring one home. I don't think they're fond of that idea. At one point, I asked you if the button quail were thinking about me the way that I was thinking about them. Yeah. That was after we'd left.
Like, I can't stop thinking about, the button quail. But there's, what, 20 of them or so running around, and Yeah. You can you can buy a little thing of, food, and you can feed them. And they'll follow you around. They take the food right out of your hand, and they walk all over you with their little feet, which is pretty funny.
And then, yeah, then they follow you around while you're checking out the butterflies and caterpillars and Awesome. And all the foliage and stuff. It's such a cool spot. It is a cool spot. They have some chrysalises in the very beginning.
They'll try even go into this so you can watch the butterflies emerge. Yeah. And they have, I'm trying to remember how many species. Do you remember? I can't remember.
A lot of different species of butterfly, which is, which is really cool. Anyway, if if you're looking for something neat to do, that is that is something we we knew about, didn't really take advantage of. And now that we have them, like, yeah. That was that was cool. Oh, yeah.
It was well worth the time and and, and a little bit of money to go and check it out. And we're gonna we're gonna be back there. Oh, they also have a little beehive so you can check out the bees and Find the queen? Yeah. I didn't find the queen.
Well, we looked at it for a minute, and I went, I don't know what she looks like. Does she have a crown? Is she wearing some sort of fancy robe? I knew she wouldn't be, but I don't know how you I don't even know how you pick her out. Is she bigger than the rest?
I don't know. I think she is bigger than the rest. Okay. I don't know. I don't know.
But she's in there, which is kind of fun. Anyway, so we did that, and then you were just going through, receipts for the weekend and went Yeah. Yeah. We spent a lot of money on flowers. We spent way too many way too much money on flowers that I still haven't planted all of them yet.
Because you need more pots. I still have a tray full of flowers I gotta plant. Well, I'm gonna plant some of them in the ground. K. But I kept putting more and more flowers in the cart when we were shopping.
Mhmm. And I said, this is too much. I've I don't have this much space for this many flowers. And you just kept encouraging me. What's your birthday?
Just get it. Oh, what's your smile? Cute. Yeah. But then I looked at that receipt, and I went, oh, that's a lot of money on flowers Yeah.
For annuals even. I don't like spending my money on annuals because then I have to rebuy them. I get it. We're gonna try to keep that one. That's right.
Well, or a couple of them, depending on what you do with the dahlias. Dahlia, whatever. We we gotta find a way to greenhouse them or something to keep them because they'll stay around. It's the frost that gets them. Right?
Like It's the frost that gets me too. Yeah. I understand. I I do get a little wilting in the frost. But I think that you can get away with, like, moving them inside or green housing or something.
Right? There's gotta be a way. That's fine for me. There's gotta be a way to keep annuals around because they don't I mean, they might go into a dormant state maybe. I don't know.
I don't need that. We'll have to figure it out. Read some research. I got my our yard looks pretty now. Yeah.
Yeah. It's nice. And, what are what are you doing? You have the largest pair of scissors I've ever seen. It's fine.
Don't worry about it. What are you doing? Don't worry about it. It looked like you were shearing a sheep. What are those?
Those are huge. I don't know. They're the my scissors. Chill out, Edward. What do you got going over there?
Don't worry about it. I I just see giant scissors come up from behind the computer. Alright. Are you cutting up receipts? Yes.
Oh, alright. That makes sense. Cut them up, you don't have to think about them. Woah. Was that right?
Yeah. You don't have to think about how much you spent. Yeah. I don't know about it. That's how it works.
That's how it works. Okay. Well It's like they never existed. Your system? Okay.
You have heard of the racehorse Secretariat? Yeah. You've heard that name? Yes. No.
I know we're not big horse race people. Mm-mm. What other, horses do you know? War horse. That's not a racehorse.
Seabiscuit. Yeah. You've heard of Seabiscuit? I have heard of Seabiscuit. And the movie with Tobey Maguire?
Mhmm. Okay. Well, Secretariat is, also known as Big Red, champion American thoroughbred racehorse, the ninth winner of the American Triple Crown, setting and still holding the fastest time record in all three of its, different races in the Triple Crown. Wide widely regarded as one of the greatest racehorses of all time. Okay.
The 2025 running of the Kentucky Derby that happened, over the weekend. K. Every horse in the twenty twenty five Kentucky Derby is a descendant of Secretariat. Really? Every one of them.
That's fascinating. Secretariat? I mean, what a what a legacy. I thought of another horse that I know. Okay.
Mister Ed. Oh, good one. Also not a racehorse, I don't think. He just He didn't ask for a racehorse. Jabber jaw.
You didn't ask for racehorses, did you? He might have. Doesn't matter. I I meant racehorses if I didn't say that. It's what I implied, but I'm glad you're just naming horses.
Horses that I know. And warhorse, was that the horse's name? Mhmm. You don't know. Give me another famous horse.
I've given you the two that I know. Artax. Who? Artax. From NeverEnding Story.
The one that Spoiler alert. Artax. Trey. Oh. Yeah.
What is another famous horse? Oh. Come on. I think I think Black Beauty? Okay.
That's a good one. What what is what's going on? You don't know all these horses. I know one. One.
Mister n. Miss that's it. Wilbur. That name. Uh-huh.
I'm sure there's one named Lady. Sure. I bet there's a horse named Lady. Yeah. That's it.
That's all I know. Well, anyway, I thought that statistic was pretty interesting. They're all Yeah. All horses in the twenty twenty five Kentucky Derby are reportedly descendants of the secretary. Yeah.
Who's but, again, record times still stand today. That's amazing. Yeah. What was up with Secretariat? What was up?
Yeah. Like, why was he so amazing? She? He? He.
Why was he so amazing? Uh-uh. That's what he So he's so fast. So fast. You know?
Anyway, all 19 of the horses competing are descendants of that one racehorse, which I think is, it's pretty incredible. Well done, secretariat. I mean, obviously keep your genes alive. Well, it's a that's a bloodline for sure. That is, that's very interesting.
And it's not like he had any No. No. He did not. They were like, hey. He did not.
You got good genes. We're gonna breed you. Yeah. No. We wanna continue this racing Yeah.
Line. Yeah. No. He secretary did not have any input on that. No.
That was like, what now? I'm retired? Oh, okay. How do you wanna start this story, dear? I wanna start this story, with, a week ago, attempted to go on a hike.
That's where I'd like to start. A week ago k. I said there's a spot I wanna go on a hike. It's the weekend. The weather looks prime for hiking.
Let's go to the mountains and go on a hike. Hike couldn't happen. We ended up going fishing. The road was closed. Yeah.
There were road closed signs, like, all over the place. So this weekend, I said, man, I gotta get on this hike. The weather's been nice all week. I'm sure the snow has melted off even more. Let's go on this hike.
We couldn't get our kids to go with us. No. That's fine. I think, as things have turned out both weeks, it's been fine that they weren't with us because they would have been miserable, going fishing. It would have been terrible last week.
And after we finish this story, I don't wanna have heard it from all of them the whole time. Right. So it would have been way worse. But alright. So here's the deal.
In the Kilgore area, which I've now spent two weekends exploring. There are some trails, and, one of these trails I wanna hike really bad. And I'm, apparently too eager because, again, roads were closed. And then, this go around, pretty clear roads the whole way. Started up the the road close signs were gone, started up the trail, doing real well up the trail.
The trail's in good shape. The road is in good shape, to drive to the trailhead that we're headed to. Couple of snow patches, no big deal. One kinda hairpin turn that had a little bit of a snow on an uphill that I had to get a good run at, and still did put it in four wheel drive, four high to to get through. No big deal.
All good. You were a little bit stressed out, a little bit anxious about the snow drifts that we were kinda going through. But all in all, not bad. I was I thought we were gonna get stuck. Yeah.
And you said, I got four wheel drive or five. Right. And I was in four high. Still had four low. Like, there was still plenty of plenty of opportunity for me to to make this work.
Well, all was well until it wasn't because that's how it goes. Right? Yep. And, we I do believe other than the side by side trails that, tracks that had gone up the road that weren't fresh, I believe we were the first set of tires going up that road this year. I think so.
And, I found a what I have written down and assumed to be 100 feet ish of snow in a shady area. You think it was that deep? No. No. Not deep.
Long. Oh, okay. Hundred feet long. Okay. Not deep.
No. No. No. Wasn't that deep. No.
I know I know measurements better than that. Imagine that, a hundred foot deep drift. No. It was a hundred feet long. So it was decent long.
The truck, I've assumed, is about 12 feet long. That's a that's a rough estimate. So, and it was, like, six or seven car lengths, six or seven truck lengths long. So, got about halfway through. And the truck said, nuh-uh.
We're done. Nuh-uh. You're not making it through this, buddy. And, and I tried, and I tried backing up. I tried going forward.
I I was spinning tires. And You tried finding It was bad. Here's the thing that's you're prepared. You have shovels. You have track pads.
You have all of that gear. Yeah. Not yesterday. Yeah. You didn't have any of that stuff yesterday.
Well, I was going hiking. I wasn't going off roading. You know? I wasn't thinking I need my my, Recovery stuff. My recovery gear.
Yeah. No. Why would I need that? And I'm just going for a drive. The funnest part, no service.
Okay. So after trying to dig the truck out with half a log for an hour, I finally was like, I gotta we gotta figure this out. So we, I wrote a note, put it on the dash, and said, hiking back to Kilgore. Comes looking for us. It's got my name on it.
Here's here's where we went. Hopefully, we'll be back. I'm leaving the truck here. Grabbed the back pack and the dog and you and I, we started headed down the trail. Now as we were walking, I don't know, a hundred yards down the trail from the from the road, on the road from the truck, my phone go get starts getting notifications.
I'm like, wait. Wait. Wait. I got signal out here. Hold on.
And I had barely any signal, but I had enough signal, one, to let the kids know that we were stuck, and and that we were having an issue, and, two, to call my buddy Eric, who is an off road guy who has recovery gear. And I said, alright. And he's like, yeah, dude. I'll come I'll come help you. I said, hey.
You feel like doing some recovery today? And he was like, yeah. Actually, I I can totally do that. I'll head your way. Send me your location.
And I went, I don't even know what kind of signal I have. Let me tell you where I'm at. Anyway, he, he did eventually get there. So we decided that it was gonna be about two hours for him to get there. Let's go sit in the shade, relax, have a little rest.
And it was quite peaceful. It was lovely. It was very quiet. The sun was warm. It was it was nice.
It was actually not terrible. No. It was not bad. It was laid around in the in there for a while. And along came, not Eric, but another truck.
Yep. And these guys Chad and Nolan. Chad and, Nolan. Right? Yep.
They happen to be from Saint Anthony, and they happen to be involved in the chamber there, which, was a really wild, happy coincidence that they we we got talking about fisherman's breakfast and the whole thing. Anyway, that was pretty neat. But they said, well, let look. You got a a guy coming. If we get stuck, he can pull us all out.
That'll be fine. Let's see if we can get you out. So they hook up, and, no doubt they got stuck. And they got stuck. So then it was pop out a lawn chair, and let's have a sit down until Eric gets here to save the day.
So we got two two trucks stuck in the same snowdrift, and then Eric showed up somehow, some way from the wrong side. He just took a different road in, and so he, he and I had to go make the big loop. It took about a half hour to drive around, got to the other side, and, he pulled both trucks out and Let it be done. I don't even know. Toyota I don't even know.
Got stuck. Toyota got stuck. GMC got stuck. Yeah. The Dodge Big lifted four by four Dodge.
Pulled everything out. That that thing pulled everybody. But he was also not in the snow. He was on the dry pavement. Okay.
Fair. He had he had the upper hand. He had the high ground. Man, what a day. So, anyway, we get unstuck, and and we were going the other direction because what had happened is I got popped up enough on top.
I was I was almost falling off the the edge into a hole. I was very stressed out. I'm honking my horn a bunch, so they quit pulling me into the hole. And I was up on top. I and and Eric said, hey.
Do you think you can get back in the ruts and see what happens? And as I was doing that, it started to go, and I just was like, I'm out of here. So I just kept driving until I got to dry land and and got unstuck, which was good. But, anyway, then we did go see the trailhead. So awesome.
We set out on this adventure before 10AM. And Got home at five. We got home at five and did not hike. No. So that's, That hike is not meant to be for us.
It is. I don't think it's meant for just you and I. I think that's the deal. I think we need a larger group of people, in multiple vehicles. That's what I think.
I think no. And, also, we need that was the only bad patch of snow. The rest of the road, the the road to the trailhead, all of that was clear. And, and come to find out, no one spent, like, eleven or so years on search and rescue. So he was well equipped to to handle whatever he might have found, which was us stuck in the snowbank.
Yeah. Yeah. Which was great. So, anyway, thank you so much to those guys. Thanks to Eric.
They it was what a thing. Thanks for the rescue. Thing. And and so the picture I posted, we're all smiles because the truck's unstuck. That was not a smiley situation.
Now you're stressed out. Not a smiley situation for me at all. I was not having a good time. I was very, very stressed out. I was not okay, getting stuck like that, just because it was it was so, solitary.
We I I felt a little helpless. We learned some things. First one, we got halfway up that mountain before we even got stuck, and we lost service. And I said, we didn't even tell anybody where we were going. To be fair, we that was before we completely lost service.
We was getting a little spotty. So next time, we'll tell people where we're going. Earlier. Next time, you'll have all of your gear. That's true.
You'll have your track pads and your shovel and and all that stuff. Mhmm. Next time, I'll wear better shoes. Okay. That's a good lesson to learn.
Yeah. We had food. We had plenty of water. We we were fine. We end I ended up having no appetite.
Did you eat at all? No. Yeah. So I neither did I. I was not in the mood.
Having a lunch? No. Yeah. There are things to be stressed about. Yeah.
But, but those those everybody who tried to help, I appreciate it. Much much appreciated. What a day. What a day. And I have a little sunburn nose, and you got a little bit of a tan on your face because we were hanging out in the mountains in the sunshine just sitting around for a couple days.
There are worse things that could have been happening. You are correct. Everybody was was healthy. No one was injured. Everything was okay.
The truck is muddy, but okay. It'll be fine. It'll take a bath, and everything will be okay. But what a We're solid. What a day.
Solid gold, baby. A day. What an adventure. Let's talk about your best kitten friend. Okay.
Let what is this? Why do you call him my best kitten friend? Because he loves you. Okay. I need to probably give some background, I guess.
I like animals. Let me start here. Animals like you too. I like animals. I like, that animals enjoy my company.
I am a dog person. I grew up with a lot of cats around, and so I've had my fill of cats. I don't need to have cats around. You like to visit cats. I like to visit cats.
I will I will if you have a cat, I will pet your cat. I'll say, hey. Nice cat. That's that's great. And then I'll I'll play with your cat.
I'll do a laser pointer thing, whatever. I don't want to, own cats. Much to the sadness of our daughter. Okay. Fine.
That's alright. We got, Luna, the Jack Russell. I had to sign a contract that said we will not have a cat in the household because she doesn't do well with cats. Right. She doesn't do well with anything.
Fair? All fair? Fair. So why do cats think That you want that they can live in my house? I've had an ongoing multiyear battle with a cat in the backyard.
I don't know if I'm winning, but I feel good about it. I don't think you're winning either. I think the cat likes to pretend that you're winning. He wants to make you think that you're winning. That's a totally different cat, though.
This new cat I know. Your new cat, best friend. We were out in the yard doing some yard work. Here comes the cat. It's like, hey.
What's up, guys? He sauntered into the yard like he knew where he was. Walked right past me. I'm just reading. And he's like, hey.
Thanks for being home, guys. Yeah. Like, he thought he lived there. It was the I mean, he was very friendly. He was not a, like, a crazy feral cat or anything.
He just he looked clean too. So I'm not sure he's an outside cat. I don't think he meant to be outside. But he wandered and he said hello. And I said, shoo shoo, you need to go away now.
I don't want you in my yard. I try like, to be home for critters. I like birds and squirrels to to feel comfortable in the yard. You're infringing on that. I don't care for that.
My favorite part is when you try to shoo away the cat, and she just laid down in the grass like, oh, cute. It's cute that you're gonna try and shoo me away. I was the weird now. Here's the thing about cats. There's there's two things about cats that are friendly.
One. One, don't feed them. Two. Don't pet them nicely. They don't leave if you do those two things.
I did not. You didn't stop the cat from I didn't feed the cat. No. I know. But you pet the cat.
I might have pet the cat. Yeah. You did. I know. And that's why it was like, I'll just lay down here.
No. Briefly. I just briefly in the smallest little pet. It doesn't take much. So the cat stayed around for too long and overstayed its welcome.
And finally, we have a hiking stick that has a little shoe on the end of it, and I used used that as as, ironically, as a shoeing stick. And I went, shoe shoe, cat. And I just kinda, like, tapped him with the little shoe end. It didn't work. That's when he laid down in the yard.
Yeah. He was like, he was like, quit poking me with the shoe. And so finally, he did get up and leave the yard, and I went, finally. And he went and sat in the neighbor's yard. And I went, just stay over there.
Like, they they they're not even home. Whatever. Exist over there. And, I went about my business. Went into the house.
You came inside. The cat sat on the front step yowin' and and driving our dog nuts. Yeah. And I went, this is wrong. And so I closed the window, and he went away.
I don't know where that cat went. I know that cat is like my cat. Eyes. You left me outside. Hello.
It's not my cat. I don't have a cat. It's your best cat friend. Shoo shoo. Hey, you.
Hey. I did a thing. You did do a thing. I did a thing that weekend. I did a thing I've been waiting to do for a long time.
Well, look. Friday, we took the day off, and it was all your day. Friday was nothing but birthday. It was all you. It was So we went and did all the all the stuff for your birthday.
And then I had, Saturday to kinda get stuff done, around the house and plant the garden and do a bunch of different stuff. So, so that was cool. But, the front door for a long time has had an issue with the doorknob, and it's because we replaced the doorknob. And for some reason, it didn't like to to, go into the jam the right way. Yeah.
And so we've been just using the deadbolt pretty exclusively when we open and shut the door to keep it shut because the the doorknob itself wouldn't latch. Well, I finally got around to going, I need to fix that. And I went through a series of, tightening and loosening screws, as you do, and then ended up using a little bit more, chiseling and, a drill to kinda meet with a space bit and get a point. Yeah. This door is making me crazy.
Yeah. It was. It was making me crazy. And that's when I very cranky about that. When I walked away.
Yeah. And then, and then I used some, tools and a little bit of, whatever the word is, knowledge, skill, whatever in the works. To figure it out. That that project has been in the works for at least two years. Yeah.
Probably. At least. I definitely a year. I don't know if two You know what I think is funny is when something doesn't work, maybe it's not broken, it just doesn't work the way that it should, how quickly you adapt to things Yeah. Not working the way they should.
Well and that and that's the thing, isn't it? Like, the the temporary fix becomes the permanent fix Yeah. On anything because you're like, this is I'm I can live with this. Learn to adapt. Yeah.
Like, okay. I have to use the deadbolt when I enter and leave. Like, okay. Whatever. The doorknob doesn't work right.
Got it. So now it does. Now it works right, and I don't know how to use it because I've gotten so used to using it. I noticed that. Correct way.
Leaving this morning, you were really fidgeting with two different locks trying to figure out how to get out of the house. Doorknob works. This isn't right. I'm used to the broken doorknob. Right.
How does this correct doorknob work? Is turn it. Just like every other one. I know. We've never had to turn it before.
You just had to pull. Undo the deadbolt and pull. So, anyway, it's working. And now I'm I'm excited because that was, that was a big deal project for me to get that, knocked out. But it's all good now.
It is all good, and I just have to adapt again to the correct fix. Right. Now it works. Things are good. I liked it better when it was broken.
No. I think it'll be better now because you don't have to use the deadbolt. And and, specifically, here's where it's where it's really gonna pay off. When people come over that don't live there, that weren't used to the deadbolt situation that we had to live with Yeah. They didn't know about the doorknob shutting and latching.
And so when they would go outside and the wind would blow it back open, like, that was an issue. Yeah. Not an issue anymore. The doorknob works like a normal house. We have a normal house.
Let's go. Normal house. We're on our way. We still have other projects. Those are the family members.
You shouldn't talk about us as the project. That's rude. Exciting things happened yesterday. I mean, we had some exciting stuff things. But then yesterday afternoon, when it calmed down, I grabbed I was able to get my summer clothes out of the shed, and I removed all of my winter clothes from the closet.
Oh, did you do that? And I did the old swapparoo. I didn't know you did that. What was I doing? You were showering.
Oh, I was recovering is what I was doing. You came in when I was folding all my sweaters. I didn't really know. Sets what you were doing. Busy doing your own head thing.
You, like, you were in your head thinking about something. Gotcha. Oh, so you were preoccupied. Doesn't matter. The exciting part is winter is away.
I've officially put winter away. So we'll have that one or two more snowstorms, and then you'll feel better, I guess. Well, I'm looking outside at the clouds going, it doesn't look so bright and sunshiny outside today. Gorgeous day, though. It's nice.
It's because it's not super windy. That's why. Don't talk about the wind. Well, there's a wind advisory. So let's talk about the wind because it's gonna get windy, starting at about 01:00 this afternoon until 10:00 tonight.
So the wind is on the way. Oh. But right now, it's very nice. It's okay. I'll take the wind.
I don't even mind the wind as long as it's not snowing because I put my boots away. I put all my boots away, and I got out my sandals. Okay. I'm even wearing snow today. Probably okay.
I'm looking at the rest of the week, and we are looking at, like, 80 degrees next weekend this upcoming weekend, later in this week, mid seventies. It's a good looking week. It's actually a really good looking week. Come on, Summer. This is nice.
I like warm weather. Yeah. I wish it would stay longer. Upper seventies and low eighties through, through the weekend into the weekend. So I'll take today.
I wore a skirt last week and couldn't find any shoe wear. Uh-huh. All I had was sneakers, so I had to wear it with sneakers, which was a fine look. But I went, it's time. It's time to get out the sandals.
I need some sandals to come in. Birkenstocks today. I am wearing Birkenstocks today. Which is a which is nice. It's a good look.
Thank you. Thanks. It's good. I'll I'm were they packed away? You didn't have those out?
No. I put them away for the winter. Interesting. I swapped out my boots, brought in my sandals. Well, good.
It is exciting. Yeah. Big day. Big day. You know what I have?
What? One wardrobe. I know you do. It's the same all year round. There is no winter summer wardrobe on my one third of the closet.
But you'll put coats away and stuff. Sure. Yeah. But the hoodies stay out because those are always Yeah. Sometimes needed.
Hoodies out. Yeah. But I put sweaters away. Sweaters are already folded on the shelf. That's where they live.
They don't need to go away. They're already put away. They just don't come out of that shelf. I don't remember what we were talking about, but Emery said something. Oh, I know what we were talking about.
She has a hand me down car that when she finally gets her driver's license Sure. She's gonna be driving. And she has kind of dragged her feet about that car. Right. And I said, hey.
It's a car. Right. It works. It's a nicer car than what I had in my day. That's and then you were cut off, and she delivered the the, what would you call, aggressive, teenager line.
This is the one where she went, no. I'm 15, and here's what you're gonna hear. I don't need to hear your back in the day stories. Yep. Woah.
Woah. Woah. Woah. Yeah. And she did go on to tell us that she hears it a lot from her coach, back in the day.
Back in my day. Back in my day. So, yeah, she, she did not have time to hear your back in my day stories about, the cars that we had to drive or got to drive. I was I was so excited to drive. I didn't care.
I didn't care either. You drove a Mercury Sable. I sure did. That's a winner. Was it two or four door?
Well, it was supposed to be a four door. But but some of the doors didn't work? But there was an accident. Oh. And I'm not gonna say whose fault it was.
Okay. But the Did I know about this? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I did? Yeah. I don't know if I know about this accident. Was this was before I met you. No.
I know. In high school. Right? Someone. Someone was driving and was backing out of kind of a curved driveway Uh-huh.
And kinda sideswiped a trailer. Oh. And so it kinda dented the passenger. So Who is that that was driving? Oh, I can't remember.
I feel like I might know because I've seen some reversing from this person before. Who was driving? So you couldn't Do you like reverse? No. Really?
You couldn't open the passenger door. Uh-huh. So there was really only three doors. If you wanted to sit in the in the in the passenger seat, you had to crawl through the driver's side. And I took that car with me to college, so all of my college friends, they would just jump in the driver's side.
Well, you should have rolled down the window and let them get in like it's a race car. I could have. Why Did the window roll down? Yeah. Window was fine.
Did was it, power windows or hand hand reel crank thing? I think they were power. Woah. You were rich. I sure was.
Mercury saved. That car didn't have air conditioning. That car didn't have a rearview mirror. Oh, it did, but then when it broke off, it never got fixed. Correct.
It had one. It had red duct tape on the the backlight. Cool. I was that car was popping. Yeah.
It was. Alright. So listen. I get it, man. I drove a 1965 Ford.
I drove a 1962 Chevy. And then, eventually, I got, later after I'd returned from Phoenix, I got my, Camry. I really liked the the 1991 Toyota Camry with the automatic seat belts. It was a standard manual transmission. I really enjoyed that car.
I like that car too. You had that car when I met you. That's a cool car. And those automatic seat belts when because you had that car when Beck was born. Right.
And when when Beck when I was pregnant with Beck, I was very, very sick. Yeah. And so whenever I had to throw up Yeah. In the car. And I had to open the door, the automatic seat belts would Yeah.
I was Because, yeah, you'd stick your head out before it ran. Yeah. I remember that. It was a good time. It was a good time.
Hey. But you, you always had a seat belt on, so that was cool. Take you first. Yeah. Great car.
Really enjoyed that car. But, anyway, she our daughter, has a a great car as well. Yeah. And It's fine. And it's cool.
It's got leather interior and wood accent to which she says, gross. And that was kinda she's like, I gotta get a steering wheel cover. I think we're waiting next, to somebody in a light that had one, and she went, this thing has got it figured out, and I need one of those. She's got big plans for that car. She's gonna make it cool.
Yeah. She's gonna probably take over the glove box and turn that into, a little diorama, I'd imagine. Because that's a thing. I know that's a thing. Anyway, she'll be okay.
If she can just do the driver's ed, that'd be cool. I know. Just finish the class. Yeah. That's all I ask for.
Lock in, as she says. Get locked in. Hey. Hey. Hey.

Like, your heart will heal itself. Your brain will defrost. Okay. I'm gonna go with the brain freeze because I think that that's gonna heal quicker than heartbreak. Okay.
Okay. I I feel like I feel like the brain would would rebound better. That's what I've yeah. That's what I think. I think it's gonna heal quicker than the heartbreak.
Yeah. I'm going with the brain. Like, if your heart's in pieces or even just two pieces, that feels like not a good life thing. Like, your brain isn't it needs to be doing stuff too. But I feel like like goldfish, for example.
Right? They can freeze, and then when the water's warm, they they're all good. Really? Yeah. I didn't know they could do that.
Yeah. So I feel like I would recover from that way better than if I was trying to recover from broken in pieces hard. I know. How sad. Look.
I've had brain freeze from ice cream. Yep. And it's not fun, but also heartbreak is long lasting. That's what I'm saying. I've had long lasting heartbreak.
Oh. It's sad times. So, you know I'm going with the breeze. I'm going with the brain. Yeah.
So Easier repair, I think. I think so. Yeah. Would you rather this or that? Yesterday was a big day for a lot of people.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. What was it? It was the May 4 Oh, yes. Which is may the fourth be with you.
It's Star Wars day. Yep. The first Star Wars movie came out in 1977. It was titled Star Wars. Eventually, you know, it was Star Wars episode four, A New Hope.
And then we ended up with nine of these things, and we have had many, many, many series and movies. And, this this franchise, the Star Wars world, has taken over as a dominant thing so much so that it doesn't just get one day yesterday, may the fourth be with you. It also gets today, revenge of the fifth Cute. Which is a day today, to, turn to the dark side and celebrate the villains. Are you a dark side?
Are you a light dark side? Feel like I'm on the light side of things. I do feel like I'm, part of the resistance, not the empire. That's what everybody picks. No.
That's not true. Good friend, big Star Wars guy, Absolute dark side. Really? I think I know who that is. Absolute dark side.
Bro. Yeah. Why does he like the dark side? I think it's probably gotta do with Darth Vader. Like, it's got you've gotta see Darth Vader, and he's gotta go, like, that guy is the coolest villain.
I mean, he's super cool. Really? I think he's pretty cool. Like, the first time and and I imagine, like, this guy's a little bit older than us, so not by much, but enough that he probably saw the original one in theaters in '77 and went, dude. You just got some All that.
Might have some asthma, bud. Yeah. Yeah. It's I mean, kinda. Yeah.
Smoke inhalation in that burns to the majority of the body. I don't even know. I don't know anything about it. Know that he was supposed to be the chosen one? No.
No. No. I know that, I think. You were supposed to be the chosen one. I don't think I know that.
You don't know that? No. Also It might be worth your time. What? You were so put off.
I was you made me watch them years and years and years ago. When we had a marathon, I watched all of them. Mhmm. So I sat through all of them, and I was kind of into it. I don't remember much about it, though.
I honestly can't remember why he has his face burned, Darth Vader. Because he was supposed to be the chosen one. Also, why is he called Darth Vader? Why is that his name? Oh, it's all in there.
What was he chosen for? Oh, so many things. Obi Wan will show you the way. I don't It'll be okay. No.
It's okay. No. We'll we'll dive in. I have them all. I'll just I'll just stay in the dark.
Uh-huh. No. We're gonna bring you into the light, so that you can exist and nerd out a little bit. It'll be fine. No.
And today of all days. No. I'm good. I'm okay. No.
But we should. Plus, you like the sound of the TIE fighters I do. And the x wings cruising around. I do like that. And I do like Harrison Ford.
Okay. I'll just probably fall asleep. No. You gotta stay awake. We'll we'll, like, hold your eyes open and do eye drops or whatever we gotta do so you can get it all.
It's a big deal. I know I've seen them all. Oh, yeah. But you don't remember major plot details. It's okay.
Is it? Yeah. I don't know if it is. Anyway, revenge of the fifth is happening today. How do people celebrate?
How does one celebrate? Celebrating the dark side by by doing Sith Lord stuff. Cool. Yeah? What is Sith Lord stuff?
By letting the anger fill you. You. Yeah. Yeah. You know, those types of things.
