You know, there ain’t no TV? This set up here, there ain’t nothin’ but goin’ on long walks, staring out at that stream not far from here…tried that cow tippin’ sh’t but I hurt my shoulder when I tried..haha, maybe it’s a myth or I’m too weak, you know…minga you look so good, healthy like, right? Like, you’re younger, while I’m aging like a dog ova here, drinking so much my brain leaks out my ears, Luca.
