The Resident Artist...
...and this occurred to me, as director of Marketing, that this thrift shop needs a resident artist. Someone that can make use of the tons of garbage we generate every week, to upcycle and sell it in the store. This would be a paid position, maybe $3000 per month, and they'd be allowed to keep a couple of their pieces and the rest would be sold, in the shop. And every month we could rotate in a new one...
No, really, I shouldn't have to tell you this is a great idea. And I've told them, but it went over like a lead balloon, like every one of my other ideas, and damn, they are missing out.

Telescope
And, the find of the day at the thrift shop - an antique telescope, marked "Ross - London", battered and in rough shape, but a cool thing nonetheless.
M*** doesn't want to part with it yet, and so I didn't get a chance to purchase. Probably for the best, what do I need a telescope for anyways?

Good Will Hunting
Yes, I know, hardly new but like a lot of movies I hadn't seen it. Knew it by reputation.
So, younger - unrecognizable almost Ben Affleck, Minnie Driver (Heard about her, still no real clue as to who she is), and Matt Damon, because he was pretty popular in a lot of other movies I never saw.
Anyways, good, not great, and certainly in no ways deserving all the heavy-handed praise. Just good.

Jeep 2023
Now that summer's in the air - soon enough, anyways, I've been working out what kind of jeep to get this year.
I'm hoping for something that will last me more than 1 season, and with that in mind I've bought myself a 6/49 ticket.
No, this won't be chance, I laid around in a hypnopompic fugue state all day yesterday waiting for the numbers to come to me.
So - success assured, and taking the mentality of "it's good as done" I've been picturing the jeep I'm going to get.
- - Brand fucking new
- - Yes, I'm getting the undercoat protection. Every year. Not gonna let this bastard rot through and break in half
- - Major sound-system. Major.
- - All sorts of fancy boxes & equipage on the outside for my pans, picks & shovels.
- - Lift. That should be #2. Need it lifted.
- - Manual would be nice.
- - And a 3 or 4 tone gold-camo pattern, so that I'm nigh on invisible when I arrive in the Valley of the Gold Nuggets as big as your head...
Now, this of course presumes the big 42 Million Dollar Jackpot, but I can deal with that later. First-things-first - I need a goddamned jeep.
Tomorrow I'll be down placing my order, then checking my lottery ticket - it's going to take a few weeks to get my jeep together, and for my winnings to come through, so no lolly-gagging let's get this show on the road...
***Note- Images generated using Stable Diffusion. Pretty good, although they didn't get my "4 toned gold camo" right the last photo pretty much nailed my parking...
