Harrison Hot tub

Commencing the first trial run of my green bean casserole in the run up to #Thanksgiving. Making sure I haven’t lost the magic touch during the off-season. The key is not overthinking it. Four or five more runs and I should be in midseason form #food #cooking

The Rockefeller Center tree coming into town always gets me in the Christmas spirit. You know Santa's on his way when you see that kind of rigging precision and binding work

Just watched the Amazon delivery associate hit six houses in a little over ninety seconds on the Ring doorbell. Propped the storm door so he wouldn’t lose a step if we were on the route but we weren’t #Amazon #Ring #doorbell #technology

Forwarded this to Mike next door, I think he’s got one, might be the 700. Sent to my brother in law Mike just to be safe. I’m sure a Mike has one. Could be Mick at Fox River Auto Services but I lost his card. Great model though, you can tell the 800 from the 700 because the 800 has the side start

Remember record stores?

When music wasn’t in the cloud. #Truth 😎

All the clocks change automatically for Daylight Savings nowadays. I keep a cheap analog wall clock in the kitchen just to feel like I'm still needed #Daylightsavings #fall #DST #daylightsavingtime #technology

I was worried we wouldn’t have any leftover #Halloween candy for Game 7 but there's plenty of Milk Duds and York Peppermint Patties. Very considerate of the kids to leave the premium stuff for the adults #MLB #BlueJays #Dodgers #WorldSeries #candy

The origins of #Halloween are fascinating. I was reading about how it comes from the Scotch-Irish tradition of "Samhain" where you dressed up to confuse the spirits and if they came to your door you'd give them a small piece of candy called a "bog toffee" to keep them happy #ghosts #Samhain

Calibrated the Manastin 3.5 Cu.Ft mini fridge to a consistent 37.4°F. Waited three hours to open a frosty one. Watched the condensation form on the can like morning dew on the Hampton Bay Woodford Eucalyptus side table #beer #HomeDepot #Manastin

Stopped by Dick’s Sporting Goods for some new PowerStep shoe inserts. Kid at the counter called me “boss.” Haven’t been called that in a while #Sport #fitness #podiatry #shopping

The Pittsburgh Steelers logo is graphic design with a purpose. The three shapes are called “hypocycloids” and were designed to be bright enough so the average Pittsburger could spot his team through several layers of iron oxide flue dust on a 13" RCA Colortrak #Steelers #NFL #GraphicDesign

Changing pack sizes seems fine if it means less waste, better for the environment too. And cocoa alternatives instead of real cocoa in return for a more shelf stable product seems like a fair compromise, it'll survive the long haul flight from factory to store easier too. Just my couple ¢

We’ve run a Motorola cordless (with caller ID) in the kitchen since ’99 and that baby’s still humming far as I can tell. The ringer echoes through the house the way it always did on the rare occasions it needs to. I test it every daylight savings just to make sure

Top tip for winter: rub a little dish soap on your shovel blade before planting your winter bulbs. Reduces soil friction. Cuts through cold dirt like butter. #Yardwork shouldn’t be hard work, folks #gardening #fall #winter #DIY #yardtips #homegarden

I respect the fellas with the hoses though, better dust suppression than I expected

Tearing down a symbol of US democracy like this is a disgrace to our country. They should be using a rotating hydraulic concrete pulverizer/processor, quick coupler, and a rotating sorting grapple for load-out #WhiteHouse #Politics #Construction #Demolition #USA #Trump

YouTube video by Epicurious American Cheese Hacks Every Home Cook Should Know | Epicurious 101

Say what you want about American cheese but it was scientifically engineered to be the most consistent dairy product ever created, and I’m sorry but you can not argue with science, you just can't #food #cheese #USA #Wisconsin #science

They sent a rear loader this morning instead of the usual side-arm. Two fellas on the tailboard working like a Formula One pit crew. Gave them a wave from the porch, they were busy emptying the neighbor’s Toter. Professionals #F1

$44 worth of Everbilt zinc-plated lag screws scanned through the Home Depot self checkout in record time. The NCR barcode laser was smooth as silk and the Dell touchscreen felt alive. I can’t believe they let us do this for free #HomeDepot #hardware #DIY

Thinking about trying to mow stripes into the lawn like the outfield at old Comiskey #baseball #lawncare

You could spend all afternoon making a turkey pot pie and it still won't be able to touch Marie Callender’s. $3.99 at Walgreens, 9-10 minutes in the microwave. This is the taste of America sealed in a butter pastry crust #food #pie #turkey

Stopped by the driving range to watch the boys work through some buckets. Wind was picking up but the guys stayed patient with their tempo. Good to see some of the young guns respecting the fundamentals #sports #golf

Gordo from Oak Ridge Home Maintenance came out to clear the gutters, he was up and down that ladder like a machine. Told him I’ve got a Worx 20V with the gutter attachment in the garage if his corded Black & Decker starts bogging down. He said he was all good #fall #yardwork #leaves #home #DIY

A black and white photo of a restaurant dining room, full of booths, tables, chairs, and "homey" curtains on the windows

A Bill Knapp's menu featuring sections on soups, dinner plates, "meal in a basket", and a steak special

Bill Knapp’s (1948-2002): A chain of earnest, "down-home" "family-style" restaurants located around the Midwest U.S. and Florida. Famous for high quality ingredients and meals "from scratch", they tried a hip re-brand in the late 90's, which ultimately led to declining business... a 🧵!

YouTube video by Nelson Parra Bastías Pink Floyd - A Saucerful Of Secrets Live At Pompeii 1972 [HD]

Pink Floyd, A Saucerful of Secrets (Pompeii, Italy). Filmed October 1971. Richard Wright on the Hammond M102, no one played it better #PinkFloyd #music #progrock #organ

A "Phillips" isn't a screwdriver. It’s a drive system. If you mean the tool you say a “#2 Phillips driver.” This is basic stuff, folks #DIY #hardware #tools #Phillips

Been reading about the algorithm. Interesting stuff. Hard to believe something so complex runs off the same electricity as my Cuisinart four slice toaster #technology #science #internet #cuisinart

Flatbed rolled up this morning to drop off three pallets of Quikrete 80lb concrete mix at the neighbor’s. Stood out front and watched the boys unloading with their Moffett M55. Efficient, precise, no wasted movement and not a drop of sweat. #construction #concrete #efficiency

B-17 Flying Fortress "Memphis Belle." 4x Wright R-1820 Cyclone engines, 1,200 hp. Range: 1,850 miles. Payload: 4,800 lbs of democracy. America lost 26,000 8th Air Force men but just look at that rivet work. A marvel of engineering. 400,000 dead civillians. Incredible machine. #B17 #engineering #USA

supposed to clear the leaves from the yard this morning but the AcuRite 02064 was forecasting 10 MPH gusts by the time I finished replacing the grip on the True Temper 22 tine rake and I'm sorry but raking in gusts above 8 MPH seems like an exercise in futility to me #leaves #fall #AcuRite
