Apr 01, 2026: self care

I took the opportunity to play hooky at work today. Nothing like firing someone, walking out the door with two peace signs, and saying: "trust the process". That's what systems are for.

Besides, I had a mission to attempt.

And you could find me, I ain't hidin'
I don't move my feet when I be glidin'
I just slide in and then I roll out

I see a bug.

I have way too much stuff going on right now. Like, way too much. Not the least of which is my beautiful daughter getting married this weekend. I'm in a bit of a pickle, and we'll see how I wiggle myself out of me taking on more than I could chew.

Original post:

I bit off more than I could chew today. I'll give myself a bit of grace, and be back here momentarily.

Just had a bunch of power fluctuations, internet down, internet back - all while I write this tomorrow (long story). Point being, I hope the weather plays kindly with us throughout the weekend.

Before I get into the mission of the day, I stopped off at ORIGINALS Mall of Antiques to waste some time while I waited for the shop I actually wanted to be at, to open.

Here's that side quest.

All of my best friends are going to be at the house on Friday, so I bought a little bit of fun for them and me to play with. LEGO sports is all mine kids. Back off!

In the end, I proved once again that I will buy your crap, $2 at a time......if I have to. In the interest of time however, I'm going to take this pile of junk, set it aside, and use this stack for some future ideas - later. I already augmented the project plan and everything.

Who the fuck are the wisconsin flyers though? Stay tuned in to find out!

Since I didn't win myself a jordan earlier, I headed over to Scheels for some retail therapy.

I'm glad I did because I added me a pin for my pin blanket. Do I have a pin blanket? Shit, I guess I do.

Plus, I added a blaster I've been looking for since eeeeeeeemma hooked me up with on for xmas. I only rip on the second box. Second box unlocked. Hell of a good deal too. corey was right.

After grabbing a latte, I says to Abe: "Slavery is bad, amirite?!!?"

Quick pitstop to keep that trade machine churning.

Robert shows up with some random free cards. I owe "the hobby". Maybe I should contribute to this thread already.

Project plan updated.

wifey and I have been watching Shrinking because f1 is on Apple TV, which means we must have it.......it's a whole thing.

Anywho, harrison ford is quite good in it. These 1977 Topps Star Wars though? Nothing quite good about their condition, other than I 💗 them all the same.

Are you reading this? Now you must PIF.

I've been meaning to get back to Cardboard Legacy on the hunt for the last card I need to close out the 1989-90 Fleer basketball set, because they have 7 or 8 boxes of baskeball that hold hope for me. The shop owner thought they might have a dozen or so of them if I resumed the chase.

Yuppers, we are chasing the goat to close this set out. Fun!

Before we go on the chase for mike, I couldn't help but take a detour into the $1 bucks for my true passion project. Let's see where today's haul puts me on the tcdb rankings lists:

michael redd, ranking: 3rd (225 cards)

Oh, quick detour into creating a divider for redd. As part of a years long project, when the spirit strikes, I reorganize the reorganization - sometimes creating a divider card with tcdb snapshot data drawn on it.

TL;DR: this is the first time I have logged him into my database and he moved from this box, to that box. A better box. Not the final box though. Carry on......

big dog, ranking: 5th (485 cards)
malcolm brogdon, ranking: 1st (148 cards)
bobby portis, ranking: 1st (125 cards)
joe ingles, ranking: 9th (55 cards)
krhis middleton, ranking: 2nd (410 cards)
damian lillard, ranking: 8th (239 cards)

Oooooh! Binder time. We've almost filled up a whole page of white donte in 2020-21 Donruss Optic. Always extra nice to open a binder to take a look see.

donte divincenzo, ranking: 2nd (141 cards)

Time to dive into 10 boxes and a few thousand cards......as the chase begins.

Oh! So close. Alas, akeem is not, the dream. Well, he is, it's just in this case, he ain't.

How about some last box magic!??!?!?!?

Nope. No magic. I bet they had every single jordan from 1989 through 1993 - except, the only one I was chasing today.

As a consolation prize, I grabbed lulu's GOAT: a 2nd year king james.

lebron james, ranking: 40th (177 cards)

All in all, fun chase. I ripped through a few thousand cards, with no luck, but a lot of pluck. lol

I would have given this trip a full 10/10 rating if I had scored what I came for. -0.5 points for the failure to secure his airness. Still, this is probably, pound-for-pound, my favorite LCS in all the land.

I've got another idea on how to snag the card that brought me here as the chase continues.

Anywho, while you may have your GOAT, and the

bride to be definitely has hers, there shall be only one freak. - giannis antetokounmpo, ranking: 1st (983 cards)

Two PWE's from a legend.

Craig hooked me up with a bunch of 2020-21, starting with 2020-21 Donruss. I'm at 100% of this base set and love to see parallels show up to augment my binders.

I see your Donruss, and raise you some 2020-21 Donruss Optic. This is the second time hitting this binder today.

I have 100% completed this base set as well.

One more binder to hit.

Until the next binder I need to make for my 2020-21 basketball collection.......2020-21 Panini Mosaic is up next.

Remember when I went to war for some SI for Kids cards? No? Well I do. Craig certainly doesn't, but he came through clutch and helped me close this set all the same.

Legend.
