Another beautiful night for baseball! Go M's!

Me at T-Mobile Park. I am a middle-aged white male with dark short hair, sunglasses, and a blue collared shirt with white stripes. In the background is the baseball field.

My latest unique radio acquisition. A Town Crier 380-T radio. May restore/convert it into a lamp.

If you like your salsa spicy, pick these up. Delicious and hot.

Costco run today. Gotta dress appropriately.

Me in front of the Redmond Costxo sign. I'm wearing a black shirt with a picture of a Costco hotdog meal on it. It says I got that dog in me

Y'know what's a weird feeling? One of my elementary school best friends passed away today. We hadn't seen each other or even really talked in 30 years but it still hurts and brings back a bunch of childhood memories. RIP Jordan.

This Sony Watchman showed up on my porch today. Must have had one too many when I bid on it since I do not remember bidding on it at all 😅

The clover in my lawn is out of control. This bunny doesn't seem to mind.

Big news today! I'm rejoining Microsoft and it feels fantastic to be back on campus!

Maybe that's there shady way of saying "I'm not gonna let you buy it outright". Here's one that caught my eye a few years ago.

A picture of a monitor showing an eBay listing for LEGO 21005 Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture Fallingwater. The Buy It Now price is $77,777.

I am holding the box for this set which you can also see in the picture. The box says Ages 16+, 21005, 811 pieces, architect series, model designed by Add Reed Tucker

This is the weirdest radio I own. It has TWO headphone jacks, which is weird enough, and you might think the two volume knobs would control each jack individually... Nope. One controls the left channel for both, and the other the right channel 🤷🏼‍♂️ Perfect for taking to the ballgame ⚾️

I still have all my POV-Ray projects from high school and college. This 200-frame animation I made in 2003 probably took 24 hours to render.

Spotted this bald eagle on my evening walk tonight. The crows were pestering him but he was completely unbothered.

I'm gonna need a bigger desk.

@justingarrison.com was kind enough to enable my vintage tech addiction and sent me this beautiful Sanyo MT 4200. Christened it with one of his YouTube videos.

An AM/FM radio with small black and white tv built in. It has many dials and switches. On the TV is one of Justin's YouTube videos.

As a fellow trombone player...

Trombones seriously! Pianissimo. The conductor is a woman with blonde hair that looks like it's being blown back from the sheer power of the trombones playing loudly.

This might possibly be the most oddly designed clock radio I've ever seen... so I had to have it.

A Toshiba RC-K1 FM/AM 2-Band Clock Radio. Is it rectangular and brown, has two sets of 12 buttons arranged in circles for setting the hour and minute. It ha a large speaker on the left, a digital display, and a AM/FM tuning bar. It has large orange buttons for snooze and power.

Hummingbirds are beautiful. Got a bird cam recently for the feeder and I love it.
