I donโ€™t even like sports; but Iโ€™d watch team paint drying or mixed doubles hedge clipping, before I gave that stream a micro second.
Iโ€™m already well past tired of hearing about that douche bag.

Iโ€™m not a sportsball person. But I am a #georgiatech #yellowjacket. Any day where GT football wins is a good day.
Any day where GT wins and U(sic)GA looses, is a great day.
Today was a good day, and it was *almost* a great day.
Good job today, #Jackets. Better luck next time, #UGA.

Free pro tip from an authentic Southerner: Donโ€™t pick up snakes. Especially ones that rattle.

Itโ€™s grilling season in the south.

(Ok, itโ€™s really never not grilling season for me)

Steaks, peaches (donโ€™t knock it til youโ€™ve tried it) and asparagus on the grill.
Along with sautรฉed veggies, itโ€™s #whatsfordinnerr

Dear iOS App Store developers:

1. Not every app needs to have a subscription. Sometimes a one time purchase is best.

2. If you ask me for a review of your app as part of the installation process, before I have ever used the app; I will leave you a 1 star review.

Four (the rescue cat that adopted us 2 weeks ago), weighed in at 2.2lbs today. Up from 1.14lbs last Sunday. โ€ฉI think he likes being fed on a regular basis and being spoiled. ๐Ÿฅฐโ€ฉ#caturday

If youโ€™re in the Metro Atlanta area, and in need of an eye doctor; do yourself a favor and SKIP dealing with โ€œThomas Eye Groupโ€.
Their customer service is deplorable and you are nothing but a number and a box on an appointment list to them.

The Grifter in Chief, looking out for other grifters.
I expect nothing less from that embarrassing waste of skin and space on the planet.

Iโ€™m sure they will be back up to their grifts soon; or have enough stolen money stashed to just disappear (if theyโ€™re that smart, which is doubtful).

Pololu - Memorial Day Sale

If anybody needs robot parts, Pololu has a decent sale going on through Wednesday. I picked up another Jrk G2 21v3 USB motor controller for 21% off and a few small stepper drivers for 27% off.
