Well, round 2. The role I was offered two months ago felt rushed. I wasn't prepared to leave PA yet. Always a good thing when they want you to read for other shows after failing to take advantage of their first offer. Let's hope my dynamic range fits their needs. 🤣 – at Branson, MO

Looking at some 2-3 bedroom houses over the next few days before heading to Texas for a bit next week. She asked, "are the extra bedrooms for the kids to visit?" Me: um...if we get 3...cause the second bedroom is for @KBobTech... Her: I like Tempura... End conversation. @KBobTech I think you're in lol – at Branson, MO

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Rock N Roll legend, Donnie Iris. In my 25 yrs involved in the music industry, either on stage, in studio, or casually backstage, I have only been starstruck a few times. One of those was Kid Cool himself, Donnie Iris. His aura was undeniable. His talents endless, even in his advanced years, and his passion and appreciation for his dedicated fan base, never ending. I was blessed to meet the man, that at one time as a child, I revered for his work with the Jaggerz. Listening to "The Rapper" on vinyl in my mom and dads room until he'd yell at me. Donnie was Pittsburgh Rock. Hell, Donnie was Rock, everywhere. I truly hope they play the opening guitar riff for "Ah Leah" as you walk through those pearly gates, Don. Absolute Legend. We joked about you being so old, that at this point you might live forever. Thanks to your music, you already will. Rest easy. – at Branson, MO

Goooood morning, Branson! Out working a bit and learning some roads more intimately. K-Dawg is scheduled to interview for a Nursing Supervisor position, possibly even for the DoN job at a local facility which had become available after she applied last Friday. Wish her luck! – at Branson, MO

I think Grayson might be the happiest to have his Mommy back...not sure though, what do you think? – at Poplar Bluff, MO

Preach, Mr. Peanut...Preach... – at Webster, PA

The answer was 'yes' WE leave tonight. I'll take, "shit you couldn't make up, even if you wanted to" for 1000, Alex. Life is wild. 3 days ago I'd have given this a less than 0% chance of occurring.

Wanna hear the WILDEST thing that could EVER happen to me the day before I leave the state... I'm going thru old stuff in boxes and I come across my ex's daughter's baby pictures, and several other photo albums of Kristin, my ex (and my admitted best friend, the from my own mouth) and J, her daughter. These types of things are irreplaceable. Ex or not, you HAVE TO DO THE RIGHT THING...SO I DID. I haven't seen her for roughly 12-18 months -ish. Had no clue how this would go, assumed she was still with her daughter's father. Turns out she is not. Also, I got to see my other dog, who smothered me with love. When people separate, pets so too, it's tough. Then 45 min later, her daughter randomly shows up at her door and wanted to see if her mom wanted to have lunch together on their days off work. Here I am face to face with the two women I want back in my life more than anything, and I'm supposed to be leaving tomorrow. I pushed my chips all in and asked her to come with me. I'm either the most hopeless romantic ever born, or I'm just a fucking idiot. Either way, It oddly still feels right. This one through me for an enormous loop. Stya tuned...I never got a yes or no. – at Glassport, PA

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but if one of the side effects of a particular medication includes 'anal seepage', it probably hasn't been perfected...don't call the marketing department quite yet 🤣 – at North Versailles, PA

Departure: T -51 hrs. It is officially time for me to restart playing "Pokemon Go: United States Rollercoaster Edition." 41 US coasters to go, including each of the 2027 announced openings + Cyclone (Lakeside, CO), if it reopens. – at Ross Township, PA

Doing some computer work at home briefly and Grayson jumped into bed and fell asleep on my leg the same way that @flip4liberty and @jake_coasters do... Legs spread eagle, dinker sticking up in the air, and a smile on their face... 🤣 – at Glassport, PA

New 20 bills smell like a pile of sawdust that a few cats leisurely pissed in. Thats all...just wanted to share. – at Fellsburg, PA

PSA: If it's 50 degrees and you answer the door braless as a woman, showing nipples hard enough to scratch diamonds thru your white see-thru tank top... Thank you. You're true patriots. – at Glassport, PA

Fuck this cold weather. Thank God I'm soooo close to remembering... – at Glassport, PA

First time rolling in nearly 2 months...got my ass beat for the entire hour. My coach of 6 years just asked me if I felt old, fat, and slow? I told him yes. He told me, "Well, you are. Stop eating your feelings!" So I got 2 double filet-o-fish to sulk with during football! 😂

We're all in line for our final Phoenix night ride of the evening. Catherine and I just went last row and we're going so fast that we actually got trimmed lol CRAZY! – at Marion Heights, PA

Boyer chocolate factory haul! RCX will be given a test taste tonight @knoebels – at Greenwood, PA

One of the best rides on Black Widow that I've ever had! @_JoeTaco agreed. @RCXcyclopedia is borderline shook. For good reason. I've never been closer to an accidental vertical. Phenomenal ride. – at Braddock, PA

Nice evening out with the extended Fam! – at Braddock, PA
