Dogs, cats, scale models, barbecue, war reenacting. Happily married.
Last week, I found out about Atlantic Beach Pie. This week, I made one of those lil' sumbitches. It was a mind-altering experience. Easiest thing I've ever made, aside from peanut butter sandwiches. And a taste that has no equal. Yes, that's homemade whipped cream! #atlanticbeachpie
The "guy in the Misfits shirt who says 'nice dog' to all the dog walkers" struck again this weekend along the Genesee River. He also put his oldest up on the counter to clean a peanut butter spill. She worked in record time to contain the mess.
Dinner and board game nights at a friend's house don't usually include pineapple upside-down cake and a musket demonstration...but my buddy's kids wanted to see a musket being fired. The musket couldn't be fired without the War of 1812 NY state militia kit...just wouldn't be right! #warof1812
I'll need to fabricate one of the tin guide plates....but here's a rare piece of history, and it'll allow me to actually make replica dog tags that I can sell to other WWI reenactors. Just need to get some aluminum stock and some punches, and I'll be in business! #markingoutfit #ww1reenacting
My brain is still in another state. Struggling today. But I look at this photo and all my anxiety goes away.
The Genesee was quiet this morning. Loved every minute of it. Loved seeing a beaver, too! #geneseeriver
Things were done. No roll was spared. @dj-snow.bsky.social I will travel to hell & back with you if it means we get to fuck up some all you can eat sushi again!
Things I did this weekend: Cleaned my AC unit & checked the capacitor and the fan motor amps. Worked on my Centurion tank model. Went out to a gun store and bought rounds for my Lee Enfield. Hung out with my furkids. It's been a good weekend! #centuriontank #histscalemodels #smle #dogs #hvac
Twenty-four mile solo bike ride in the books. From Greece to Brockport and back. Absolutely lovely day. #eriecanal
Replaced a sump pump AND installed a new drain yesterday. Had the support and help of one of my best friends, and I bought the majority of the equipment from the company I work for. Fucking stoked with the feeling of accomplishment I got from this project! #sumppump #itreallysucks #thatsabadjoke
I cooked for my buddy's bachelor party this weekend, and it was truly bitchin'.
The groom requested a garbage plate lunch. As the best man, I obliged him.
Scenes from a bachelor party. Rainbows, fire trucks from 1953, and hard candy. Probably the hardest candy I've ever had.
I've got a bunch of patches to add to my vest. I can't sew for shit so many thanks to my wife for getting this beauty on here. And thanks @punkwithacamera.bsky.social for the awesome patch !
Bike rides from the river to the lake and back always make me feel happy. I'm even friendly as fuck to pedestrians and other bikers. The whole day is good now. Also, historic plaques and visiting Canadian cement ships are added bonuses. I do enjoy my hometown. #rochesterny #lakeontario #geneseeriver
Highlights from a wild weekend: -Brakes got changed out via one of my best friends. -Wife & I got a new fridge, and a new couch. -Forgot to lock the bathroom door and Dolly barged in to keep me company whilst on the john. -Wife made meatball & Italian sausage subs while we watched The Sopranos.
I have a choice to either cut my grass today or take a bike ride along the river and then nap. Looks like my yard is going to look like the one from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre for one more day.
Got completely drenched the other day, but Mother Nature ended up being that additional piece of the kit I didn't know I needed. #warreenacting #ww1 #28thdivision
Last evening's exploits. Drink of choice: H2O Album of choice: "Born to Kill" by Social Distortion Construction continued on the Centurion's bogies. Each assembly has nine separate, tiny-ass parts. Tedious? Yes. Fun? Fuck yes. #centuriontank #histscalemodels
The remnants of the leftover smoked chicken met up with some bacon and created a mighty fine fried rice last evening. Had American Graffiti playing in the background while I cooked. Bob Falfa's a dick. #smokedchickenfriedrice
Steve: "Hey I got this pouch, grandfather had it. It has 1918 on it and I figured you'd want it. Me: "Oh my fucking god!" And I proceeded to give Steve a 30 min lecture on the 1917 revolver and it's ammo pouch. @briarrose1987.bsky.social I can't thank your husband enough! #1917revolver
It's a bad day to be one of these cookies when I'm around I show those sleeves no mercy
Time for another Korean War subject: the Centurion Mk.3 tank. I know surprisingly little about this beast, so I'm doing all my research now. Luckily, I have one book on my shelf that has a chapter about the tank, albeit a brief one. George was there to help me. #centuriontank #histscalemodels
