Another lockdown lifted, homeless pets, Uber adventures, moving into the woods...what could go wrong? 

Lots to talk about. Got busy and missed a few podcasts...what else is new. Good to be back. 

I don't know if its isolation or just natural progression but Mr Grumpy pants keeps ruining everyones day. Another week in the life...

Mid day beers and surly opinions. Hey.. shit happens.
