As I was out and about for my usual Friday lunchtime errands, I randomly decided to stop at Spec's, the booze place. I typically don't like to shop there because for beer lovers their selections is...less than adequate.
Okay, it actually sucks.
Still, I did manage to find some Founders Breakfast Stout and Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. Haven't had either of those in quite some time.

And I at least had some work waiting for me this morning. Several drawings and a 3D model that needed to be checked. There were some minor errors that needed correcting. Plus a few simple things to add.
The upside being I got to call my co-worker via Teams and harass him just after 8 am this morning. Bet he didn't have that on his bingo card.
Damned whippersnappers.

Speaking of comics....I really need to check with the guy I ordered my new comic storage unit from. He initially said about 16 weeks, which would have put my order being ready in the first week or two of April. Now we're close to the end of the month and I haven't heard anything.
Luckily, I'm patient. Plus I know from his FB posts the dude's father passed away, which probably put a dent in his schedule. And thankfully, I'm not truly in much of a hurry.
We have a store here you might like. It's called "Beers Of The World". :-)

There is a better chain I used to visit often, called Total Wine and More. The first one I found and visited was in Delaware, just a little ways down the interstate from the old Navy Shipyard I worked at in Philly.
There are several of them in the area around me now. The closest one is just down the road from my comic book store. I used to go there quite a bit, but there's a lot of construction in the area right now. Not worth going to at the moment.
Anyway, Total Wine has a pretty awesome selection of beers, at least two or three rows worth.

Alice in Borderland was weird, but cool. I liked most of the characters, although the lead dude could be an annoying wuss at times. The final fight against the King of Spades was f-ing brutal. Season 3 comes out in a few months, and I'm looking forward to that, though I don't know how they're going to continue it. It ended pretty well.

There may be another extra later this afternoon. I need more clear light bulbs for the fixture in this front room where I keep the computer. I used up the last one yesterday.
I could get that today, but don't necessarily have to. I'm making some extra trips around tomorrow, so could always pick them up then. I doubt the other four lights will all burn out between now and then.
Young folk round these parts probably don't know that phrase.

Bought some new lights at the scout shop yesterday. They were tax free, and at least one of them was heavily discounted. The first was a recharging version of the collapsing lantern I bought a few months back. The second was a (very bright) flashlight from the same company who makes the lantern. It has a zoom feature and is waterproof.

Before that, however, I've got plenty to get done here at home. I'll get the boy to help me with some of it.
We've got to do some cleanup work in the front yard. There's some trim work that needs doing on various trees and bushes. I've also got to spray weed killer on the stuff attempting to take over the sidewalks and driveway.
Then later this morning we've got to go over to HEB for some very specific things. Things for Court of Honor on Tuesday. Mostly plates, snacks, and bottled water. We should have plenty of napkins. We've also got a bunch of plastic forks, but I don't think we'll need those.
