Tahoe @ Universal Orlando 🐺✨

Final shift of the week, & a particularly brutal one at that. Heading straight to Denver at 4am after an early clock-out to get my tail over to FL for a much needed visit back home.

It’s going to be incredibly difficult to focus at work tonight, I’m already in vacation mode 🏝️🐺

Count me in ;3

Love the scenery, looks like an amazing place to hang out for a spell :3

Ported over the entire Crash Bandicoot PS1 library & Silent Hill to the Vita, something you couldn’t do through official Sony hardware/software. Best part is, I didn’t have to hack anything. Thanks Chovy-Transfer, it’s awesome to finally have my whole collection on the go <3

TIL that Sony disabled the ability to transfer PS1 games from PS3 to Vita when they enabled 2-factor authentication a while back.

However, thanks to third party software, I was able to rip the files right off my good old PSP & transfer my ENTIRE PS1 digital library over to Vita.

Sorry I’ve been afk the last week but work in particular has been BRUTAL. However, just 2 more shifts until I’m off to Orlando on Thursday.

My mind is 100% in vacation mode, can’t wait to hit up Universal w/ friends & chill with dad out in the woods. I’ll see y’all in FL soon!

Splurged at Costco the other day on Wandering Poet; a sake with notes of banana, lemongrass, & melon.

A bit more complex flavor from the Yukikage (Snow Shadow) I got a while back, but the banana flavor palette melds so well with the other flavors, it’s a home run for me ^^

Starting up another work week, but amped beyond words to fly to Orlando upon clocking out on my last day next week to experience Halloween Horror Nights for the first time.

It’s been two years since I’ve last been in Florida, excited to be with friends and family soon ^^

Watching my roommate play Fallout: New Vegas for the first time and it’s not only nostalgic for me, but awesome to see the game running so smoothly on the RTX 2080 Super vs my old GTX 460M back in 2010.

Even with third-party apps it’s getting bad with AI. Almost makes me with I could dig out one of the earlier Photoshop versions I grew up with before Adobe got scummy with their subscription practices x___x

Had an amazing time at Foxtrot’s Howl-O-Ween event last Saturday! Volunteered from start to finish; had an incredible time hanging out with old friends and new faces, the event sold over 500 tickets! Always a treat to wear latex for an event ;3

We've been working since 9am setting up & we look forward to see you tonight!

Last-minute updates, important announcements, & similar will be via our socials: https://foxtrotclub.com/contact

Tickets are still available - probably, this is an automated post!

Had a massive piece of metal strike my WRX on the way to Denver. By some miracle, the only damage is a chunk cut out of the plastic front bumper tip.

Got VERY lucky, if it hit anywhere else it could’ve damaged the engine. I’ll take a missing chunk of plastic over that any day.

“So [Tahoe], how come you drive all the way here for a haircut?”

The Australian food across the street at Aussie’s Poke Stop, this meat pie I’m consuming is heaven on earth <3

Feeling this hard tbh

Installing an entire toilet + pump system for the basement bathroom later before work tonight.

Glad we’re doing this on a work weekend so it didn’t eat up a day off. I’m otherwise busy working graveyard until Wednesday, excited for Foxtrot’s Howl-O-Ween coming up on Saturday!

“Ladies & gentlemen, we got him.”

Still kicking myself for missing the original Dire skin, refused to make the same mistake twice when they announced the War Wolf variant in #Fortnite OG this season. The OG Pass w/ Dire is going on through the end of November, it’s not too late!

Brought the WRX to a friend’s shop for the 60k maintenance service:

• Cabin + engine air filter
• Transmission + rear differential + engine oil
• Fixed an audio wiring issue
• Full brake fluid flush & replacement

There’s still more to do, but glad most of the work is done!

Went out to Estes Park again with some friends yesterday. Leaves are changing colors, elk are slowly returning to town, the tourists are less in numbers, etc.

Gotta love the Fall season ^^

Slept in late, got half the stuff I need to do the 60k maintenance service on the WRX this Monday, and savoring the notion that I don’t have to return to work for 6 nights (assuming nobody calls out).

Happy Thursday, indeed 🐺✨

Debt 💵 ✨

It’s either because I’m coming off a long stint of depression, the fact that it’s my “Friday” at work, or the yearly slide into spooky season, but I finally feel that creative bug hit again.

Need to capitalize on that while I can >>;

I don’t normally go out on a work week, but Elk Fest + a local furmeet was quite the draw up to Estes Park today.

Had a blast hanging out with everyone and having an epic dinner at our favorite Italian place, perfect way to kick off an overnight shift <3

• The 5G + antennas in general being moved to the top improved signal greatly while being held.
• Vapor cooling genuinely stabilizes the thermals; it’ll still get toasty in a case, but not near as bad as previous models.
• Best sounding stereo speaks on an iPhone yet 🎶

Wanted to give a heads up to all my Florida friends, but I’ll be in and around Orlando for a weekend at Universal Studios + Halloween Horror Nights!

Will be in Orlando in particular October 31 - November 1. If anyone wants to hang out at the parks or around town, let me know!

Initial takeaways:
• Battery life is epic. I’m a heavy user & have 20-30% charge left at day’s end.
• 48MP tri-camera system hits that sweet spot w/ capturing in higher resolution, new square front-facing sensor makes creating content in that orientation a LOT more flexible.

Last Sunday, I arrived home from Furever West to set up the new iPhone 17 Pro Max & while I’ve been sick, it’s been a lifeline.

Last upgrade I’m doing for a long while, got a good deal trading in my 15 PM. The updated camera system will be my go-to for all future content! 📸🐺✨

While I’m recovering from being ill, now there’s zero guarantee I’ll have anyone to cover for me for MFF despite getting my PTO approved well ahead of time.

We’re already short staffed as it is, I’m trying to keep my spirits up but it’ll be rough not knowing…

Of course, as soon as I recover from the gnarly stomach ache, I then get ill again with a gnarly ear ache.

I’m ok, just really sore and annoyed, dealing with it as I start another work week.

Didn’t want folks to wonder what the heck happened since I’ve been afk after the con.

Hanging out with the critters in the backyard with a cold Oktoberfest from Samuel Adams feels just right on a lovely afternoon like this 🍺🐺🍁
