2020-01-19 - Shooting with Laura Ingalls

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Had coffee with Bennie. We're in a good spot. Just wanted to let you know.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Yeah? You two back together, then?

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Yea. Still lots to sort out. Need to find her a place.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : The fuck's wrong with yours

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : We're not jumping back into the living together thing

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Thought you said you were back together? or you both just wanting your own space, type of thing?

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Together yes. Living together no. Dating other people no.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : But she says she's okay with me possibly hooking up with a guy or two occassionally? So semi-open? I don't know.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : (...)

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : That's.. good.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Yea, I don't know. still not sure how that works or how that doesn't fuck things up with me and her again.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Well you.. did she say? How it works?

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : She said she was okay with it. And she wants hot sweaty details because it's Bennie

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Sounds like things worked out pretty well. You happy with it?

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : I am.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : ...

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Are you and Itz exclusive? How does that work for you?

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Exclusive? No. He's got a couple of girlfriends. Works fine, I like both of them, they're good for him

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : A couple? damn. baller.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : pretty sure I'd be missing more than a leg if I tried that. Not that I want to.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Tried what, couple of girlfriends?

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : yea

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Fuck, I couldn't do it.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : What if you get someone's name wrong in bed?

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Like there's no coming back from that shit

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : I can barely remember one birthday, anniversary, etc. Two? Nope. more? forget it.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Agreed, too much fucking work

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Bennie also asked me to work on the drinking. And a few other things. Sober easton needs to make more decisions.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Sounds like something you should probably listen to her on. Do what I say, not what I do

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : ha. she's not wrong.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Of course she's not wrong

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : You'll be a little sad to not get more drunk texts from me. Admit it.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : I will miss your drunk texting

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : So uh.. think we'll be able to go shooting again some time, or?

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Shooting, yes. "shooting"? don't know

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : What? Do you seriously think I just propositioned you?

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : I meant shooting. Guns, you idiot.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : ok. Range? Woods? Elsewhere?

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Look, what I'm trying to say is, are we good? I'm not trying to cause trouble for you. if the answer's no, it's no.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : we're good. seriously

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Then range. Is probably safer. Assuming you want safe

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : safety first. for now.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Understood

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : You free this weekend? Got a case of boat tails that aren't going to discharge themselves.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : I can easily be tempted by that. I'm in.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Great. We can grab a coffee or something after, if you're up for it

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Coffee. yea, that's going to tak e some getting used to spell booze like that.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Willing to try to help you stay on the wagon.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Off the wagon?

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Fuck, is it on or off

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Wagons are stupid.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : but i think it's on.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : the fuck do you have against wagons

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Why would I be on a wagon?! This is why people get off, because theyre ridiculous. What am I Laura Ingalls?

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Number one cause of alcoholism in our country? Wagons.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Who's Laura Ingalls?

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : I don't fucking know why you'd be on the wagon. I think it pulled out of town before I even got there

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : No little house on the prairie in Mexico?

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : I basically set the damn thing on fire when I got out of the corps. In a blaze of whiskey and coke.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : And sometimes I forget you're a cop btw

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Obviously I meant the a fire caused by jack and cokes.... or something.

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : (...)

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Obviously. Obviously that's what you meant

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : 😬

(TXT to Easton) Ruiz : Anyway, I should get going. See you this weekend.

(TXT to Ruiz) Easton : Sounds good!
