Hey #OKC people get out today and #vote for #DavidHolt. I love what he's done for #OklahomaCity and the @okcthunder.bsky.social ! Brought to you by a random guy who likes that stuff and loves this city.

I used that new AI app to look through my pictures and create a new profile picture for me. This is what I got.

The Snow Damage Piled Up Over the past week, I've fallen on the ice twice (I'm okay), Susan threw her back out (she's okay), and our pool has suffered a catastrophic failure (it's not okay). Last weekend, the winter storm tha...

Susan hurt her back, I fell on the ice, and the pool got wrecked. How was your winter storm experience? I give ours a solid D+. (We're both fine. The pool is not fine.) www.robohara.com?p=15595 #oklahoma #winterstorm #snow

Just saw this on FB Marketplace. They're asking $4k so I am looking for three investors who would like to split it four ways also it stays at my house all the time and I will be living in it. #nostalgia #retro #mcdonalds

I forgot to mention, if you do download it (you can get it for free) be sure to rate it and, if you leave a review, tell him I sent you! Trying to get this great version of Pac-Mana little action.

Booze Elroy by pinback Pac-Man... with a twist!

My favorite new game of 2026 is Booze Elroy -- a Pac-Man close that adds dozens of new gameplay options. Want new mazes? To play blindfolded? To play against 8 ghosts? This made Pac-Man feel new to me all ovre again. Tons of fun. pinback.itch.io/booze-elroy #retrogaming #itchio

Despite getting a flu shot, I caught it and have been as sick since Wednesday evening. Susan's been loading me up on DayQuil and NyQuil and each time I think I'm feeling better, it wears off and I get the chills and feel like I'm seasick. Great weekend to watch football.

Close. Permanent-Pressatory.

Alternate ending: Scrooge sees a gold coin in the unit and goes in after at, at which point Jacob Marley slams the door closed and turns it on, leaving Scrooge to spin, wash, and tumble dry for all eternity.

Our Great GE Profile Washer/Dryer Combo Experiment Failed Four years ago when either or washer or our dryer died (I forgot which), Susan did a bunch of research and found the then relatively new GE Profile combination washer/dryer a combination. The big sell...

@segfaultcult.bsky.social Four years ago, my wife bought am expensive brand new washer/dryer combo. Earlier this week they hauled it away and we could not have been happier. www.robohara.com?p=15587

I am troubleshooting a power station that won't charge and the compoany asked me if I have a spare PC cable and I'm like huh boy you don't know me.

I found these old karate foot pads in a thrift store today. I wanted to buy them but my wife said they would end up with her getting kicked accidentally. She was right.

While the new Anaconda movie has giant plot holes and requires you to check your brain at the door, there were two or three scenes that had the entire theater loudly laughing outloud. Fun way to kill a couple of hours over the holiday break.

Sad news for those looksing for last minute Christmas gifts at Dollar Tree. Despite what's written on the package, these Spam-branded boxers are not in fact "one size fits all." 🥺😂

If my family goes through all my digital pictures after I die they will thing I lovd documenting electronics when in reality it was just me taking pictures of tiny text on things and blowing it up so I could read it.

I'll keep an eye out for a reasonably priced one -- thanks!

My VCR Died Believe it or not, I am still in the process of restoring my home office after the flooding we experienced back in October. There are still many things I can't find, which seems ridiculous. In a few c...

If you could only pick one...

Found this for sale at Ollie's. It's a Mr. Beast lunchbox.

WOW, that place looks amazing! The next time I'm in the northwest, this will definitely be on my list!

It's been 15 years since I posted an open invitation to anyone who followed me to our house for Thanksgiving. If you are going to be alone for the holidays or are having a hard time making ends meet we will make room at our table for you.
