Dogs, Dust, and a Really Bad Friday

Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude get together for another round of life, mostly unplanned. Bella starts a full-blown TV rivalry with any animal on screen, Rich's back-door floor peaks up like a tent and turns into a full flooring-replacement nightmare, and losing his phone at Lowe's ends with a trip to Verizon and a brand new Pixel 10. From there it's Saharan dust, tenting floors and piers, prediction markets and the lottery, crypto skepticism, a $20 magnetic cup holder from Harbor Freight, an antenna anchor working loose, boat plans and a maybe-island trip, a hard conversation about homelessness and honesty, electric vehicles vs. the new diesel Hilux, solar panels and local LLMs, a Hep C treatment update, and a deep dive into the 100,000+ satellites currently orbiting Earth. Ron closes it out with some very necessary M-80 safety advice ahead of the 4th.
