Posted on April 6, 2025August 30, 2025 By UPL Admin

I was reading a post on LinkedIn, and I wanted to see how plausible this actually was. I asked ChatGPT to generate a hotel invoice. Nothing extravagant just a mid-range business hotel, a two-night stay, itemized charges for parking and breakfast, a company header with a logo placeholder, a street…

Stay Weird. It`s kind of a hipster vibe. Lots of new-age, white guys with man buns in Hawaiian shirts. J/K lots of middle aged white guys with their kids. Good times will be had by all... And Al. See what I did there 😎

Kind of a daddy daughter day. She wanted to race go karts. Did a really good job of blocking a middle aged white guy for most of the 2nd race. He was ticked. Then we had to go help a friend out and redo a horrible Spectrum install. Good help is hard to find. The tech did a really, really bad job. Then saw a double rainbow and took Emme, Oliver, Brandi, and Emme`s friend Kinsley out to dinner. Make every day and every moment count. 😎

Had to make a quick trip to Arkansas to take the side-by-side and bring the rhino back to Texas. Time to get the rhino ready for the desert. The tire tread looked a little weird. Thank you Discount Tire for a quick repair. Emme was my co-pilot for this adventure. She`s now 13. Where did time go?

This weekend was a quick trip to our place in Arkansas. I needed to replace some shingles on the roof. I burned my butt through the jeans. Brandi arranged it so I had enough time to replace the exhaust on my 996 on Monday night.

For some reason this trip she took lots of pictures of me. Weird.
