please don't call me reese's pieces
I took some time off growing, and after my hiatus I'm ready to dive back in. I'm also linking my alt account @wickgrow-dingo.bsky.social and will probably phase it out and just start posting here.
Thanks to the Cincinnati Eye Institute for removing these skin tags from my eyelid. They have been bugging me for years!
A nice photo of my snapped by a coworker on our trip to Porto, Portugal. Hard to believe I've lost almost 20 lbs since then!
We went to the vet, and they suspect Frenchie has a neurological issue affecting his vision and mobility. He then had a reaction to his vaccines, and has been having a rough night full of diarrhea and vomiting. He's got a great attitude though, so I think he's gonna be just fine!
Out in the yard last night, mowing and I found this guy. He couldn't even stand up and walk on his own. Took him in, fed him and he's doing better now. Taking him to the vet this afternoon. They asked me for a name and I said 'French Fry'
We got our new dishwasher installed yesterday and I love it. It's a Bosch 500 I had to repair the old Samsung one like 5 times. New sensors, computer, fill valve, seals, etc. After the last repair I promised myself the next time it broke, we'd replace it. Promise kept!
Hosted a rave for my birthday this year, it was my first time at a rave and we had a blast in my basement
Just realized the fans in one of my server have almost all seized. I noticed a rattle a few months ago, but didn't really thing it was urgent. Ordered new fans anyways, figured I'd replace them all while I was in there. Good thing too, they all needed it!
The guy at the donut place said "it's your birthday? Do you want a birthday sticker?" Of course!

Haircut this weekend. New drivers license photo. Took the week off since it's my birthday 🎆
I'm posting this mid-air from the inaugural Delta flight from Porto, Portugal to JFK. There was a press conference happening when I got to my gate and they gave me a commemorative bag tag! Only 4 years ago did I start traveling internationally, and now I have a rare lil "badge of honor"!
Spent the last week in Porto, Portugal with the team at work. It was incredible!
The new AC is leaking 😭 Probably a clog in the line but there's no clean out. I rigged this up out of an old pain tray to keep the mess contained for now.
