When your kid calls to say they're a top 7 finalist for college graduation, you feel a little jealousy and a metric shit ton of pride. As much as I want to succeed in life, I want my kids to get there before me.

My brain today, after all that hard work yesterday.

A burn barrell, half of a 55 gallon drum, with a fire in it and an old oven rack on tip with a large black pot with walnut juice cooking in it. In the background is a broken blue chair, a small pot, a label, a wooden pallet, and a plastic pad. There's also random leaves in the dirt.

Today I played Walter and cooked up some walnut stain. Is it supposed to smell so bad? Ick.

But like, what would be the judging criteria? Loudest? Smelliest? Longest?

I think it should be all of them.

Also, do sharts count or is that a DQ?

This just makes me want to burn one out of spite.

Through it? Sadly no. But, to help healing after, I found that a theme park or amusement park or circus or something like that, shockingly helped. Laughter. Fun times. Friends. It was nice.

But the funeral still sucked.

This whole thread. So good.

When you're paranoid, having a nearly perfect day today makes you worry about tomorrow.

Me, lost in the jungle of life.

Also me, walking with my eyes closed, trying to pretend there aren't horrible things out there.

Sometimes hyperfocusing is a super power. Congrats!

#randomthought did the old school construction workers smoke because they knew they would need a break from the hard, physical labor and that was their excuse to take a breather by stopping for a smoke?

A pile of brown leaves on green grass with green trees near by. The foreground is shady while sun shines in the distance. Even further in the distance are houses and a community neighborhood pool.

First crop of leaves got harvested earlier than expected at the #barqranch yesterday. More coming soon!

Me waiting for the new #dungeoncrawlercarl book to arrive.

Also my brain right now.

My brain right now.

King George County won't allow a solar farm. A local cartoon drawn for the FXBG Advance. #Virginia #Solar

There's way, WAAY, more to the story than just KG saying no. The land owner wants to build it on land protected by a conservation easement and within a few hundred feet of a state park.

I am 42, feel great, and have normal cholesterol and blood pressure measures.

I do have a family history of heart disease and after a discussion with my PCP, I received a coronary calcium CT study today.

It helps looks for evidence of coronary artery disease and is underutilized in the US

Only thing missing is a little elbow grease!

To this day, I'm sad that Claudia J. Edwards is no longer with us. Eldrie the Healer still has a place in my brain and my heart.

They’re so fucking fragile.

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?

Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

Today I have:
- walked 3 miles
- tilled a garden
- moved a compost pile
- winterized hoses
- oiled tools
- picked up milk from the farm
- refreshed my inventory at the store
- picked up my FOIA request
- showered
- got gas

This isn't a #humblebrag. I'm submitting it as evidence that I need a break.

Trump looks at least one stroke under par today.

Sounds like me playing level 1 of Super Mario.

I feel like this needs to be my alarm when I wake up. Or when I go to bed. Or just randomly during day. Or just every 5 minutes because you never know when Data and Geordi are going to figure it out.

Ok, ok, hear me out..... ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING.....

1. What about Wil Wheaton as the older brother?

2. Is this movie really just a D&D campaign?

It's one of 4 that were sold ages ago. Like back in the 1900s.

Just for Skeets and Giggles (9.6.25) The award for worst person in the country didn’t go to Donald Trump this week.

This week’s Just for Skeets and Giggles is out! Have a great weekend.

A white man's wearing a shirt with the cover of the Icewind Dale Trilogy on it. He has an apologetic expression as a life-size mannequin of Drizzt is behind him.

The look of disappointment #drizzt gives me when he finds out my 18yo son has never seen me wear this ICEWIND DALE TRILOGY shirt by @rasalvatore.bsky.social. Maybe I should have cleaned out my closet sooner. Oops.
