That's killer he gets a write up. I really hope this leads him to the olympics next cycle...(my little selfish wish) This is the perfect trajectory for that. The frustration and pain of the repair of the taco will be fodder for the future, but it will keep his wheels rolling now.
I'm beyond thankful for the stoic training I put myself through so this insanity of breakdowns, deconstruction, reconstruction, and learning is all just another step in life. My younger self would have already destroyed things trying to beat them into shape instead of doing it slowly and correctly.
So... Lone Crow has meat vending machines here locally. There is one in the foyer of Master's Brewhouse in Deerpark. SUPER cool!

The Olympics is a fantastic wish, and he has the potential (or so I'm told by people who actually know what they are doing lol), but with him shipping out to basic July 8th, I am not sure which path he is going to follow. Right now his focus is to win state in May, and he just informed me he shot fifty straight in skeet today at practice, so I have high hopes for him to accomplish his goal. We shall see.
The Taco is still rolling, I had a little pep talk with it and asked it to hold out until the boy ships out. My plan is to rebuild the engine, as it has a new suspension and transmission, slapping a rebuild into the beast will give me another few hundred thousand miles of Toyota bliss as I plan to drive that beastie while the boy is gone.
It's always rather awesome to reflect on how our Stoic training has and is helping us navigate setbacks. Even though I haven't reached the state of embracing them with true aplomb, I see them more as a learning experience, a challenge to compete in, and they are a less destabilizing force in my life thanks to mindset training. That said, car issues are something that tests it all, and I am so sorry you have had to endure all that, even if you are crushing it in the mental health department.
I looked up the vending machines, and I about squeed when you said we have something like that in our area! Have you tried one of the offerings from the Deer Park one?
I raked and burned for several hours today, I am going to go get cleaned up and chill for a bit now, as school resumes tomorrow, yee haw!
Hope you all had the best weekend!

Ahh that's right, he's enlisting. The range masters will love him for sure! There are sporting options for military members, I knew a tri-athelete out in Medical Lake who was enlisted in the AF and they allowed him to compete.
I'm to the point of just fully rebuilding this engine given I have it down to the block now. If anything it really gets me prepared to tackle my old Yota that had the bottom end go.
We haven't tried the vending yet, we just got a half not too long ago so don't really need more but they have some great cuts and various packs of ground.
I had a couple hikes then a flight from a new place west of Deer Park with the flying club. 9 of us flew with a couple getting some solid altitude. My calves are still on fire though...
