The Proverbial Energy Cliff!? - Diesel crunch

shit and I'm just like, uh, fuck, that's why I posted it in the smittiest corner and that's why I put it down the pill because what was said in that video and I've been talking about for months and I've been made fun of. Oh yeah, God wants. It's all coming out. Moonlit, we're gonna get our states back. We're gonna get our country back and then we're gonna get the world back and then pinky and then pinky. Pinkie. I know I'm the brain. Well, you could be the brain. I'll be pinky. You know, like, pinky in the brain. So after we take over the world of brain, um, yeah, yep. We're gonna get our ship back right. Mulberry and fed up. We got this right guys. Oh, and there's my not. We got this right guys. I'm just put some stuff in the, um, the pill because I was gonna do this last night, but it was just wasn't feeling it. So we'll get started here in a sec. Well, I'm buckled up, but I'm not wearing a sheep belt. I'm wearing a cowboy belt. I don't know how to buckle up correctly, but I'm holding the line, right? I mean, we got this, right? Yeah, we got this. Good morning, everybody. How are you? Oh, morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So guess what? I guess what I made last night. Which is my last night. I made a big old fat cheeseburger. Oh, nice. Oh, this was so good. So yeah, you inspired me. So I had to go out. I didn't really have any unfrozen beef. So I did stop to pick up some grass fed grass finished. We'll see, man, I didn't have a chance to get to some place. It's really, really cool. I didn't have to go to a box store to get it. So who knows? I tried my best, but it was it was 85 15. So 85% lean. So a little bit leaner than for my taste, because I got told you before I hate a dry burger, but this was a good, good mix. I put some some garlic, like wood fire seasoning on it. And it was probably about a third to half of a pound. And I got a brioche bun that I treated. So it was well toasted and on some olive oil. And I took some blue cheese that I had leftover from an event. And I put some blue cheese over it. So by default, so that was good. That was really, really good. So by default, you're not going to enjoy blue cheese and ketchup. Okay. So ketchup and blue cheese do not mix whatsoever. However, blue cheese like in burgers. I don't see the more for you. I will have blue cheese with fucking ketchup any damn day. And come on, man. I'm sorry, Mark. Come on, blue. Well, the thing with it is that yesterday, because I was busy with work and I was doing laundry. And then I was like, well, I'm going to run up there to Westwood and get a little burger because some shithead said, oh, yeah, today's the day I have a burger. And I was like, can I have a bacon cheeseburger? And they're like, yeah, five bucks. And I'm like, that's the kids meal, right? That's where you take the small cheeseburger. And they're like, yeah, because the bigger ones are nine dollars. If you want the kids one, it's five bucks. And I'm like, yeah, just give me the kids cheeseburger. I'm going to go finish up my fucking laundry. Oh, locks and fed up has their hand up. So I got to shut up, Mark. Yeah, Mark, I got my cheeseburger yesterday. Good for you, bro. And I paid five bucks. Yeah, yeah. And those kind of burgers, you know, you expect a little catch up. And I think it goes to the territory. So I put fucking Caesar dressing on it. Oh, yeah, don't even start with me. You know, what brand is the the seasoning that you put on your burger? It was it's a Costco brand. Oh, no, I'm sorry. No, my bad. It's it's kind of kinders K-I-N-D-E-R-S. Okay, I'm familiar with that. You said it's a wood fired seasoning. Yeah, wood fired garlic. I'm going to find that. Thank you. Fed up and then locks after this. Yeah, we had fun yesterday. We had to get the HVAC people out or I right heat pump decided to crap out on us for for a little while. And with it, I mean, almost 90 degrees outside. That was fun. But luckily they were able to get somebody out to us since it was a Friday. And they got us back up and running. So that was the good side of that. Bad side we got to go talk to them about probably pricing out getting the new unit. But we can't complain because most people get 10 to 15 years out of that. And ours is 20 21 years old. Wow. That's impressive. Yeah. Yeah, so we're we're counting ourselves lucky. And so we'll but like I said, we were just going to go ahead and we're going to spack up and run. Because it was it was getting pretty pretty hot. So Fed up and I got to come over there. I will. Don't make me come over and help you because I'll stir some shit up. What we'll get this fixed. Oh, I got to take I got a good HVAC guy. He's been a R HVAC guy for well over a decade. He's a he's a good cat. He's good at what he does. And he's a cool he's a cool local dude. He's about my age. And he was telling this tells you how cool he was telling me we were talking outside. But he was working on because he had to repressurize the system because that's part of the problem is we got a little pinhole leak and it's losing over time slowly over time. And they got to recharge it. It loses coolant. But we were talking. He was telling me about them having a customer coming in the store who at first he looks at me and he's like do you know they they should pale and I was like yeah yeah definitely like I watch this spills you. And apparently they had a customer who came in who sounded just like Clayton Bigsby that character. And he said they said I'll have such a hard time if you know the character why that is. But and so you know but just the fact that he would bring out Clayton Bigsby but like I said we we've talked for a long long time often on over the years. To the point weird thing that happened the one time he actually talked to the cops when we had we had an accident one time luckily just a fender bender but it just was weird happened to be he was sitting in a parking lot on his phone trying to figure out where his next thing was and happened to see the people hit us and he drove up and saw it was our car and told the cops everything you know that he saw it was a witness for us with the car wreck just weird timing like that but it's a really cool guy he's getting a stagging carrow. Straight up synchronicity right there. Alright absolutely absolutely. Let me get started here real quick y'all. I'm going to open this up with a song like I always do with my spaces. If y'all care to. Yeah but can we have Locke speak first because he had a clue. Come on dude. Oh hey Aesmynie since somebody even said about it and title of a great song for hold the line by a todo would be a good one. That's somebody saying about holding the line. That's a good closer. I'm going to write that one down but y'all share and repost this thing out. Let's fill the room up. I want to have a good conversation. There's a big. It was a heavy news today yesterday and it's going to be heavily on diesel and the diesel crunch the impact of it. Other things that we're going on Russia Ukraine drone strikes oil wells. Apparently we trump bayonet CNN MSNBC some of the other things. So there's a lot of stuff going on. The probability that NATO could enact article five. There's a lot of there's a lot of chest playing right now and I think it's worth a discussion but I really want to focus on the energy pinch. There's also discussion of a pending incoming trucker strike. So let me play this. Let me play this song. We'll open it up if you guys can share repost. We can get this room filled up and then we'll dive into the conversation. I sure do sure but come on come on. I see no changes. There's just a way. On here. Got to make a change. Stop for us.
