The Zambezi Zinger & Columbia Booger Sugar

In this week’s Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, we kick off with post-Thanksgiving catch‑ups and a surprising win with the local post office. We riff on tech tinkering—expanding backup storage to 7TB, rediscovering years of photos, playing with Darktable on Linux, and dabbling in AI video experiments.
Then, things get... grumpy. We discuss everyday life gear, specifically a $2,500 mattress that Bryan claims "just lays there and sweats."
On the heart side, Ron shares a meaningful afternoon playing chess with veterans at a VA home—learning to match play to a person’s abilities (and dealing with spilled coffee). Then we step through tough family terrain involving "Cluster B" personalities, custody battles, and protecting grandkids—balancing concern with letting grown kids make their own choices.
We wrap up with a friendly debate on whether politics belongs in church, some Jeep talk, a Sasquatch meme war, and a reminder of why this show exists: three friends showing up for each other.
Merry Christmas, and good luck to Rich in the 10‑meter contest! (Go get that Silver!)
