Life

Time to stay hydrated and wake up. Hit an afternoon wall hard! 🥱

A can of Red Bull Sugarfree is placed next to a large Zak! tumbler with a cartoon sticker on a table.

Okay, I’ll play.

What’s the first lyrics you heard at your first Phish sh⭕️w?

“I had a dog, his name was Jim”

8/12/10 - Deer Creek, Noblesville, Indiana

Free moment on my hands, so here is my wallpaper.

A phone screen displays floral wallpaper with app icons, world clock widgets, and a search bar.
A woman with a serious expression is speaking, and the subtitles read, "There's not going to be cheap eggs and gas, you stupid slut."

Leaf update: The yard vacuum was a total failure. At first leaves we’re to big so would plug up and jam. So I mulched them down then we’re to small and wouldn’t pick up. Spent all day pretty much got nothing accomplished. The bag zipped broke beyond repair so reached out to the person I bought it from to see if they had another. The offered to buy it back so I got lucky there. I hate leaves.

While I said the basement was done, I didn’t say time for rest. Now to deal with the neglected yard with my new toy.

A Craftsman gas-powered lawn vacuum is positioned on a concrete floor.

Well, today felt odd.

This is the first weekend day I have not woke up to start work on the basement with Dad. I am glad to finally start enjoying it. We started eight weeks ago double teaming the weekend with him solo while I was at work. I appreciate all I have learned from him through the project

A cozy basement living room with brown reclining sofas facing a wall-mounted TV above a fireplace.A modern, frosted glass barn door with a sleek handle is mounted on a sliding track against a gray wall.A brown cushioned chair is positioned next to a small wooden table in the corner of a room with light gray walls and laminate flooring.A finished basement area features two closed white closet doors, a partially visible hallway, and gray-toned flooring with white brick wall accents.

I have to say I do enjoy a Nutty Buddy.

Last week was insane to say the least. I was exhausted after a late night with #Eggy in Louisville with the drive back to then two days of basement work I forgot to post photos. Last week was barn door and ceiling tiles. This weekend we finished the floor! Shocking the change it’s made down here.

A grey-painted room features a wall-mounted TV, recessed lighting, and light wood flooring, with a few items placed on the floor.A sliding barn door with frosted glass panels is installed in a modern room with gray flooring and walls.A room under construction features an open ceiling grid with exposed wiring and partial ceiling tiles, along with stacked boxes and wall-mounted equipment.A newly renovated, empty basement room with light gray walls, a white door, and wood flooring.

I’ve been rather down this week trying to wrap my head around everything that occurred.

Though I came across a post about what Sam tells Frodo in Return on the King that hit me hard.

A quote from Samwise Gamgee appears next to an image of him, expressing hope and resilience in challenging times.

#Eggy - 10/25/24 Hulaween, Live Oak, FL - Whoa There

Whoa There is the new ear worm. It matches or exceeds Atomic Age. This version was the last thing I listened to last night. First this morning.

Mike crushes the low end the entire time. Such a smooth, soft grove over the top. Will leave you saying, “What is it about you?” the rest of the day.

Listen here

A band named Eggy is performing on stage with vibrant green lights at Suwannee Hulaween in Live Oak, Florida, on October 25, 2024.

Don’t mind me. Just getting ready for work this morning.

A person is crying in the shower with the caption "*sobbing uncontrollably*".

Oh look! Time to take out the trash twice today.

A digital calendar highlights events such as Recycling, Trash, and Election Day on Tuesday the 5th.

Halloween evening 🧙‍♀️

A stunning sunset casts a warm glow over a serene landscape, with soft clouds painted in shades of pink and orange.

Who’s ready for wet trick or treating?! 🎃 💀

(Honestly, not me either. Yet, here we are.)

Just wrapped up #voting at my local center.

It feels like such a weight was lifted off of me.

Go make your voice heard! 🎙️

Happy Halloween 🎃

A humorous meme shows a Balrog from "The Lord of the Rings" inside a candy bar with a warning message for parents.

Unsure how I can get the AirPod Hearing Protection to work.

Keeps saying too much noise while in a totally silent room.

Frustrating.

Next big basement step was crossed off the list yesterday. The grid is up for the ceiling with light boxes placed for where they intend to go.

Fine fall day

Bright sunlight filters through the autumn-colored leaves of a tree.

Free stream of #Eggy’s show in Nashville tomorrow!

It has been awhile since I shared a #homescreen. So here’s what I have at the moment.

Thanks to BasicAppleGuy for the iPhone 16 Pro internals wallpaper.

A smartphone home screen displays apps and a weather widget overlaid on an X-ray style background of the phone's internal components.

“Dad since I got New Balance shoes can you wear yours today too?”

Twins!

Yearly reviews all turned in for my team.

It is done.

Is there a way to reset the Apple Intelligence pop-ups? Feel like mine closed out before I read them.

How’s the basement going?

Glad you asked!

First and second coats of primer on today. Finally got the sliding door in after it was damaged in transit and reordered. Then to be lost at the store for pick up for two days. Decided a color for the walls today. Cleaned out the laundry side for ceiling and flooring. Started deep cleaning upstairs now since dust is done!

Lot was done. With still more to go!

A room under construction features exposed ceiling beams, a partially finished floor, and tools on a cart in the foreground.Partially finished box to hide the sump-pump A minimalist interior space under construction features white walls, a gray floor, and an open ceiling, with construction equipment visible in the background.

Oh Culver’s! You’re so punny.

A sign indicates a location for curbside pickup, featuring a car icon and instructions to "Tap 'I'm Here' in your email."

I am no Excel expert in any respect.

Though how I pulled off this Halloween Bingo game for next week made me feel pretty smart. 45 unique card with 75 words

Conversation Awareness on my AirPods is great.

That is until I get into a grove singing and then music drops out leaving me there doing a solo performance.

I am so tired. I cannot wake up today. Monday is in full effect.
