I saw this large owl while waiting for my BIL's party to start. Probably more fun for me than the actual party... 🙄

Our winter weather has moved in this evening. There is 1/16 - 1/8 of an inch of freezing rain so far and it's still coming down hard.

I'd go slap the tire chains on my van but I don't have any. ⛓️🤷 Probably a lovely commute ahead tomorrow. 😡 Indy 500 meets demolition derby...

Good morning friends, happy Thursday! Sunshine and coffee are the only things keeping me going. I finally gave up and started my day at 3:30, and the dogs were not happy about it, they prefer 4:45. I'm hoping to keep my head down and phone on DND to avoid pesky salespeople. 😉

What's everyone else's day look like? Hopefully, it's more exciting than the salt mine I'm in. No matter what your day has in store, have the best one you can! 🌄🌞

My OCD side could critique this all night but my Halloween side says I did pretty OK. 🤦At least three different people knew what it was without being told...

My carved pumpkin for Halloween 2023, I'll light it up every night until the 31st.

Our stove/oven is starting to have problems. It's been repaired a couple of times in its 20 year life but it's probably time to replace it. I can't believe how expensive appliances have gotten. What if I don't need Wi-Fi and several other unnecessary things? There's not much between rental grade and bullshit level of bells and whistles.

I found my old balaclava in a cold weather gear box. Now I can't decide if I should hold up a liquor store or shoot a reimagining of "Beverly Hills Ninja" called "St. Louis Ninja" where I battle a large gooey butter cake.

We took a hike in Cliff Cave Park this afternoon. The 1st photo is the lookout point from the parking lot by our car at 10x zoom. The 2nd is basically a reverse shot, a photo of the car from the lookout. If you zoom in you can see my wife's white Chevy Bolt backed into a space at the back of the lot. The last two pictures are just landscape and autumn colors. Great day for a walk straight up hill. 🙂

Have a good afternoon!

I guess we'll be having dinner at the table instead of the living room bar.

I'm at my mother and father-in-law's house for my wife's birthday today. I walked into the bathroom to find a werewolf mask on the vanity.

I'm not sure WTF a werewolf mask is doing in there and I'm not about to ask. 🤦🙈

My one year Mastodon anniversary was on 11/18 and I missed it. So I wanted to let everyone know how much I've appreciated having you in my life the past year. From funny animal pictures to sage advice and the occasional intense discussion it's all been a blast! Hopefully I'll be here with you all for many more years.

Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving Eve and night! 🦃 🌃

A red fox just walked behind the house. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good shot,he was sly, like a fox...

I hope to see a Tesla Cybertruck in person soon, it sounds like a high quality EV. If you read the article and get to the part about Musk requiring all parts be built to "sub 10 microns", that's 0.000394" and highly unrealistic.

I work in a high precision machine shop and our tolerances are +/- 0.001"-0.005" depending on application. That's thinner than a sheet of standard printer paper...

I'm having a real 1st world problem here. What color phone should I get? I know it's stupid but my OCD makes decisions hard. I've had black phones every time, my wife suggested I inject a little color into my life and get one of the bright options. She likes the light green but only because it matches the color of her old Fiat. I like the light blue.

What do you think there's a poll in the reply if you have time?

I really cherish these lazy afternoons the older I get. I'm currently drinking coffee and chilling with my Pixie dog on the couch. No further plans for the day and not really giving a shit about making any. 😏

How's it going for all my Mastodon friends and cronies, are you having a chill day too? 😎

A 19th century copper printing plate for Liberty Brand Cake Flour in St Louis, MO. We found this cleaning out my grandma's farmhouse and have no idea as to why they had it. They were farmers and so were the previous generations.

It's definitely easier to cook my oatmeal with the microwave door open. I can't see it being good for my health though... 🤔

Due to some... unpleasantness my wife was stressed and we ended up going out to dinner. Everything turned out fine in the end and I tried a delicious new dish. Garlic bread in a waffle design made by Fazio Bakery on The Hill, spaghetti, spicy meatballs, spicy marinara with mozzarella and provolone cheese. The special tonight at Sugarfire BBQ.

Good morning Mastodon, TGIF! My insomnia got me up at 3am which sucked but I did get this picture of Pixie and Mr Minx snoozing together and thought, there are worse ways to start my day. 🙂 Hopefully Friday flies by and we can start the weekend!

Have a great Friday! I might give HR the🖕and slip out early...

My blood pressure was 117/78 on tonight's reading! The first time it's been that low in 4-5 years. Between the medication, diet, exercise and not giving a shit about work it's coming down. I'm only slightly overweight so I'm looking forward to seeing what the cardiologist has to say.

Have a wonderful night and weekend everyone! 🌃 I'm going to the Japanese festival tomorrow and can't wait to share a picture of two.

Good morning everyone, how's it going? We're one day closer to the weekend! 🥳 It's been a wild few weeks for me and I'm hoping things start calming down. I've scheduled 5 days off vacation between now and Christmas which should help. This morning I packed two cases of juice upstairs to my office, now I just need a bottle of desk vodka and I'll be set. 🤪

Have a good day Mastodon people! Or night whichever works best. 😉
