  • Pure Joy.

    Pure Joy.

    Kim’s company brought us to the Capital Grille for their holiday party. You could say I ate well that night….. And for those who got the tomahawk – we got a fun chef’s hat as a prize for finishing. Yes, I got that hat!

  • Before and After, Baking Edition

    Before and After, Baking Edition

    Dry ingredients mixed separate from the wet ones, per King Arthur Flour’s Recipe of 2018. I cannot count how many of these things I’ve made since 2018. Sometimes with choco chips, caramel chips, often without. Lately I have considered a recommendation from AI – a swirl of peanut butter. I’m very intrigued by that one.…

    Red Sky at Morn?

    Assuming pink still counts – it still tracks, as it rained later that day.

  • Twinkly Time

    Twinkly Time

    December means.. LIGHTS. Its a slight obsession.. especially since I started putting up Twinkly lights. Smart lights, app controlled, syncing and all kinds of amazing effects and customizations.. right up my alley. A few other brands are now doing this, but I’m all in with Twinkly! And perhaps my appreciation for the Christmas Vacation movie…

  • Mysteries of the Exploder

    Mysteries of the Exploder

    Sometime in the last year – maybe aligning with the deer strike or my own tinkering, the remote starter stopped working on the Exploder. This had led to some dashboard deconstruction and strange part replacements.. but still to no avail. But I did find a brand new key! Above, the TBXKEY. An old school way…

  • Arm != Feet

    Arm != Feet

    Willy’s broken arm might have slowed down his use of pullovers, but nothing stops his feet. Seems he went from casual to basketball to BASKETBALL this day. And even if he can’t play yet – he’s getting some hang time at Friday night practice.

  • Trader Joe’s Discovery

    Trader Joe’s Discovery

    Vanilla Petit Fours! A very rare flavor, believe it or not. People cram too much nonsense into petit fours these days – jams and jellies and nuts and stuff. What’s so wrong with a simple vanilla? TJ’s knows what’s good. The coffee and choco were great, but vanilla was really an exciting find.

  • Tis the Season

    Tis the Season

    Christmas decor, Legos, catalogs, candy.. not pictured – the music. Actually that was probably not in season yet in the house. Radio, different story. Humbug!!

  • Scenes From The Attic

    Scenes From The Attic

    Woke up on 12/3 and found it chilly in the house. Quick inspection showed the upstairs thermostat was dead. Chased the idea of the thermostat being dead for a while, but proved myself wrong there. That’d be much too easy. If the device was fine, I deduced there was no power to it (upstairs). Why?…

  • Space, again.

    Space, again.

    That “night site” mode is really incredible, coming from an amateur photog. Every clear is a temptation for more star pics.

  • A drip

    A drip

    This is like a real world Rorschach test. If you see this in your driveway, most people don’t see .. anything. I see it though. Its a drip. A leak. Car juice! Later we learned it was either a oil cooler and/or radiator leak. I think radiator based on the placement under the vehicle. Anyway,…

  • The View

    The View

    Top of the Prudential Tower is now a very cool commercialized viewing deck over the city. We planned our visit around sunset, which gave some nice light and effects.
