Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

[Chris]

Ugh, that does sound miserable. It's been 15 years or so since I did that many driving hours in a day and probably 25 since I've done more than one day like that.  I can't imagine doing it now that I'm old and everything hurts before I even start the day. You have my sympathy…

[Matt]

Thank you.  I was pretty loopy on the 2nd day each way. It’s a miracle I made it… twice!

I’ve got an update for you guys.  I went to get a haircut today.  My barber is a super cool guy named Fonzy.  His shop is in a storage container co-op that is home to all kinds of hipster joints.  Coffee, BBQ, brewery, dispensary.  We were talking about my plans for work, of which I had none, then he up and offered me a job. He’s going take me on as an apprentice and I’m going learn how to be a barber.  I’m pretty excited.  The new life is working out so far.

That sounds really cool, Matt.

I’m pumped.  Finally a job I can wear jeans to.  And get neck tats!!

He’s a super nice guy and the place is super cool. Barber was def on my list of jobs I thought would fit me but I didn’t think I could make work.  He said all the right things.  Can’t wait.

Boom….....

Time to buy some new clothes, too.

Back in the days when I had hair and got it cut by a professional, my stylist told me that she had to completely separate her work and non-work clothing, because no matter how thoroughly she washed stuff, there was always hair in her work clothes.

That’s awesome Matt!! Love it when the Universe sorts out the path for ya, usually means you’re on the right track from what I can tell…

It’s as if we share a brain.

I’m not gonna lie, it was a pretty great morning. But now this food baby wants out in the worst way.

every photo I see keeps reminding me of red dead redemption 2, especially the first few ones of New Mexico..
