Whatcha get?!

We are doing experiences instead of stuff. Today we head for the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff, tomorrow Sedona.

Why do you hate America?
This morning it’s because I’m in an hour long line at the rental car counter.

I got a sweater, a scarf made from baby alpaca which is the softest thing ever, and a new case for my MacBook (zipper broke on the original).

Oh yeah?
Take a look at that fur! And apparently (according to the conservancy app) 1/47,000th of that belongs to me once the bear passes. Now I don’t know which part I will get, but there is a very good chance it will be part of the fur. And if it is, we’ll put your assertion to the test!

It’s Wait For Everything Day. Took me almost two hours to get out of there. At least they upgraded me to a Cadillac crossover. We stopped in Kingman for lunch at a thoroughly incompetent Taco Bell. Took almost half an hour to get our food. Never saw anything like it. We were supposed to stop at the Grand Canyon but after all this falderal it would have been dark. Maybe for sunrise on Saturday.
But now we’re at our hotel in Flagstaff and all is well.

Half an hour at a Taco Bell?
What did they have to do, kill and butcher the cow for the ground beef?

Your fault for going to a Taco Bell.

I think I've only been to Taco Bell once.
I think it was because my daughter insisted. I didn't get any food there. -

Got VR goggles (from my company) and holy crap that is like jumping into the future. Extremely impressed with the technology.
My wife got me a (relatively cheap) drone as well as telescope. Both are fun to play with and will be fun to share them with the kids. I plan to eventually get a really nice drone (and telescope) once the kids are a tad older.
My wife also got me something she saw on Instagram. Hard to explain but it’s a compact electric screwdriver that holds about a dozen types of screwdriver heads. Really easy to use for quick household needs instead of me getting my normal tools. I’ll see if I can find a link.

More often I’m finding McDonald’s where the cashier machines are offline and you have to order via the self serve touchscreen. Takes much longer and sometimes it errors out and you have to start over. The other day they said their cashier machines are completely off, no other way to order. Guess I could’ve used the app. Fast food unfortunately is become slower…
