Joke's on you, kid. That's a price I'm willing to pay...

Put the winter tires on our cars this morning. The spot marked for the jack on the driver's side rear on my wife's car was a bit rusty, and then totally crumbled as I lifted the car. 😬

Heard a noise in another room. Poked my head in to check stuff out, and noticed a moving box.

Who else uses these under-the-microwave lights as a nightlight after they go to bed? 🤣
Photo of my stove with a small skillet on it. The lights on the bottom of the microwave, which is mounted above the stove, are turned on.

Hey! I've got a Jeffy Gordon ornament as well! (This is from when I was a kid. My parents passed it along to me after my wife and I got married.)
Photo of a Christmas tree ornament depicting Jeff Gordon and his NASCAR stock car. "Jeff" is a brown-haired white man wearing a red jacket. His race car has rainbow colors near the nose and tail, with blue in the middle and a yellow number 24.

A true sportsball fan must have written the copy for this notification.

Took the girls with me to get this awesome birria. While we waited there was a TV playing music videos & they were loving the songs, with our three year old dancing to the tunes. One video had women twerking, and she shouted out, "I'm doing what the girls are doing!" as she started shaking her butt.
A to-go pan with eight birria tacos and two containers of dipping broth.

So excited to get three new to me bags of @springheeldjack.coffee today! Everything I've had from them previously has been really tasty, so I can't wait to give Bell Witch, Butterfly Dude's Blue-Eyed Blend, and Frogman a try!
Photo of my eyes and forehead behind three bags of Spring-Heel'd Jack coffee. Bags on the end feature a cartoon man hunched over on a gravestone with a cup of coffee, and the middle bag features a cartoon of a man with glasses in a light blue jumpsuit with yellow butterfly wings on his back.

My parents dug this treasure out recently. 🤣

Yeah, I've got a little motorsports shrine behind the desk in our home office. 🤣
Photo of the shelf behind the desk in my home office. On it are three medals from 5k races I've run, four Lego race cars, six Hot Wheels sized race cars, and a number of motorsports themed cards, stationary, and hero cards.

My wife ran into the grocery store while our oldest was at gymnastics, and came away with quite the haul for me!

Wasn't expecting to see an ECR shirt pop up in these photos!

Was surprised to find one of the Caddy GTP Hotwheels at the supermarket over the weekend! Still dreaming of finding a Rexy...

Stole the graphic from another platform because of how proud it makes me.

Instead of charging players a fee, my soccer league has each team select a local charity and raise funds for them. Our season concluded yesterday, and here are the totals raised.

We are making an impact in Grand Rapids!
Image of a list of teams in my soccer league, charities they donated to, and how much they donated. In total, the 14 teams combined to raise $11,141.12 for locally-based charities in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area.

Was using Google Maps to scope out the location and parking situation for tonight's soccer game, and found this amazing vehicle on Street View!
Screenshot from a Google Street View image, a black cat parked in a parking lot, on its side is a crudely painted brick-like pattern with the word "Deadpool" spray painted over it. Next to the pattern and word is a crudely painted Deadpool superhero character.
