Weird small things that give you joy.

Hearing stories from a very stereotypical, wealthy, old, white, racist senior.
Don't get me wrong... It's not "joy" like it makes me feel good about the state of the world. It's more of a mischievous mirth brought on by this profound ignorance.

He was describing the difficulty selling this condo in Beltline "now that all the _______ and _____ have moved in there". That part was stupid, but I fuckin nearly fell off my chair when he said "the third offer that finally didn't fall through came from some African guy and the last name on the sheet was like 'BungaBungaBunga' or some giant list of consonants or whatever!..."

That part killed me.
I'm a bad person.

When its raining lightly I will take my kids out to "worm hunt for moms garden", mostly as a means to get out of the house. We don't usually have a pile of success but for the few worms we do find they are so fucking pumped. Then deciding which flower bed to put them in when we get home is pretty cute. Makes an otherwise dreary day better.

Little kids are so fun in the rain.

Testing the charge current provided by various charging bricks and cords. I used Accubattery app to do this. Used it this weekend to diagnose a faulty cord that was putting out under 300 mA when same charging brick with different cord provided 1300 mA. Makes my little nerd heart happy.

I realized one thing late in life...

Certain seeded watermelons are usually way sweeter than cheap seedless ones you get when they're in season and on sale in store. Get one with a nice sunspot as well and it's like eating candy. No sogginess or powder either. Like candy water. Urrrrrrg...

No more eating lame seedless watermelons due to laziness. Maybe I'm just misinformed, who knows. All I know is I eat a ton of watermelon and go to sleep a happy man. Then wake up to pee and go to sleep again. Repeat 2 more times. Still happy tho. Just don't dump watermelon rinds straight into my black bin and we're good.

I haven't had a turkey leg in years because I did not want to risk getting a dry one as those are god damn awful.
But today it seemed like no one was willing to spend the $$ for a $28 turkey leg. But they all looked so glistening and juicy.

Bought one and it was the juiciest, tender, flavorful son of a bitch I ate in a while with intense smoke flavor (but not overpowering). Very very good and I will admit it was worth the $28. Better than a shitty $8-10 corn dog any day.

Got a very old hide-a-bed from a relative. And the mattress has this marking which cracks me up unreasonably.

Using the MyHSA app to make benefits claims. Holy Allah it's amazing!!
My doctor charged me an extra $250 to get my adult circumcision (because wiener so large) and I claimed it on that app which was hilariously easy. Then I took about 4 entire minutes to make a second claim for some other dick-related thing and when I finished that, they had already approved the first claim! Made 2 more claims and by the time I went to bed a few hours later, all 4 were approved and 2 of them were paid!

My slobby ass inconsiderate neighbors moved today!
Left a huge fucking mess in their black bin and surrounding area as expected but at least it is the last time I gotta see that shit.

Hopefully new neighbors are better.

Randomly going into the liquor store and finding a mediocre vodka for 33% off, just as you're deciding what to drink that evening.

At the time, I didn't know what I saw, but I saw the string of Startlink satellites last night for the first time with a large group of people (everyone clueless).

We. Shit. Our. Pants.

I had no idea that's what that fucking thing looked like, plus I didn't have my glasses on so it looked even more like Santa's sleigh and it's moving like 2x normal satellite speeds.

When you speak to someone in customer service and they both understand your request and are able to efficiently resolve it. First time dealing with RBC Direct Investing customer service for something I couldn't deal with online, and they were great today. Warms my heart.

You see something is leaking under your car, check and it's only water from the AC.

Every humid summer day. It's more of a "peeve that shouldn't be" for me though, definitely no joy in getting anxious for a few seconds. If I remember right, the 4runner was especially bad for AC drippage.
