reminiscing on Discord about TVs of our youth. Grandpa had a portable B&W similar to this one. I kept it for years. Don't remember what happened to it after high school.

$2 cigar box, adhesive felt, a wood strip, and some beeswax finish for the bottom. I'm actually very pleased with my first attempt at a dice tray box. foldable rolling tower from amazon to come later.

Oh helllllsss yeah. that's what I've been wanting.

Costco's chicken street taco kit made this. (well, I used different crema, I hate cilantro) It also made 4 more sets that my future self will appreciate only having to defrost and reheat. Delish!

I don't mind the DAV's plea for money (although when would I ever use that many address labels anymore), but giving me the "grateful blessed" sticker is creepy. What do you think you are now, the Salvation Army? ew.

the barbarian in my Friday game has a greataxe he calls "the Business". So he can give them the business, ha ha! Design by him, ink and color by me. Don't copy or steal it. #DnD #D&D #TTRPG

treat time! The boba tea is taro flavored.

Geeks, tell me: Why is it 90% of the time, I can cut and paste a photo just fine, then sometimes (even from the same place), I get this unseeable bullshit? You can still format it and move it, but not actually see it.

Dutch Bros coffee has a cute sticker today for Mother's Day.

went to a pop-up market at a local coffee house this morning. lovely surprise, a lady playing Irish music! Very enjoyable morning. (table is not dirty, it was was one of those "fake old marble" finishes.)

I had the philly cheeseteak yesterday. Very good, if a tiny bit dry, but they made it without the peppers like I wanted. BFF had the thai chicken sandwich special and loved it. Not spicy.

the french dip. also have sweet potato fries. I should note Bro is picky about reubens cause he has relatives in Jersey and NY.

Had a lovely tea at Snapdragon with a friend. Great place, delicious! Totally will go again.

Have to share, cause it's so funny I laughed loud enough to startle the cat. From a D&D friend this morning:

YUM! The dash ice cream maker works! Bro likes cookies and cream, but I got my ube flavor, and I can control the sugar amounts. Easy to use and delicious!

the layers!

@atalanta.bsky.social convinced bro to go get some, he went overboard. ham and cheese L, chocolate R. Holy crap they're good. Stuffed, LOL he got himself an almond one for later, and also grabbed 2 morning glory muffins for me for tomorrow. So thoughtful!

and here's the other two. Dang it, these are cute. It may be for the best that the store is on the other side of town. LOL They're less than $4 each.

ok, this is cute. I found several mini-lego-knockoff kits at Daiso today, which is kinda like a "dollar store" of japanese imports. (great for kitchen doohickeys). One was called "Leviathan", but honestly? It's a baby wyvern. Look how small this is! Navid the bard is singing to it.

aww how sweet. we have two LARGE lilac bushes right off the porch, one purple and one white. Some little old lady just rang the bell and asked if she could pick some! Of course, honey, share the beauty in life. It won't hurt them.

what the hell, Pumpkin. Second comb-out of the month, and she's a short haired cat. I swear there is a cat remaining, albeit a bit grumpy ATM.

Does come from a house with cats, but have been kept in a closet behind doors.

Aw, Dutch Brothers ran out of St. Pat's day pins before we got there. Stickers as backup. However, I'm trying to figure out if it's intentional that the stickers are orange today. LOL

getting really tired of any bottle (food too) where the foil thingy goes to the edge, but doesn't have a little tab. People with low grip strength/arthritis find this shit difficult as hell to get off. And sometimes it needs to come off, not just get punctured.

TASTE THE RAINBOW (20 seconds of a cat licking and writhing on a catnip toy that looks like a rainbow)
