Arrived.

I feel attacked. Now Facebook is showing me Aleve ads for being sore and old after a concert.

Home safe after the three hour drive from St Louis.

In an hour and forty-five minutes the kids will get up for school. 🥴 (I’ll get my sleep once they’re taking care of.)

As they say - Rage. Rest. Repeat.

The image features the words "RAGE REST REPEAT" in a stylish, minimalistic font against a black background.

Bubba looks so good after a trim.

Corporate greed strikes again.

Sure they’re hiding behind the contract, though we know it’s truly because now they can charge the government a higher rate.

My new front door is perfection. This little feature is one of my favorite things.

Good morning! ☀️

Start your day off right with some Mr Blue Sky to set the mood right!

#Eggy -7/25/24 - Floyd Fest, Check, VA

Listen here

A musician is performing energetically on stage at Floyd Fest in Check, Virginia on July 25, 2024, with the text "Eggy" above the photo.

I received a whiteboard for me new office last week. Had to take the opportunity to put this up.

A whiteboard displays the quote, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take," attributed to Wayne Gretzky and Michael Scott, in a minimalist room.

Decided to many bugs got in. Gotta close it up. 😄

A warmly lit front entrance features a white door with sidelights, a decorative "HELLO" sign hanging on the left side, and a textured concrete porch.

Decided today we wanted a more open air concept for the house. 🏡

A set of concrete stairs with black metal railings leads to a doorway under renovation, with construction tools and materials visible in the background.

Just another Can’t Focus Friday! 😖

Welp, it is that time of the year again. 📚

A notification settings screen for the ClassDojo app is shown with the "Allow Notifications" option turned on.

Seems this week in a nutshell is - it storms I pick up the sticks.

A person is holding a bundle of lichen-covered branches against a grassy background.

Office Journeyman: Hey! I just started painting your new office and getting ready to install new LED lights. It’s going to look great after

Me: That is amazing! I appreciate it so much.

Reality - They came in to putty holes then sanded but made zero effort to cover anything in my office. Looks like it snowed in here. Not a spot free from dust in the whole place. I hate corner cutters and pure laziness.

During every Olympic opening ceremony I give a little fist pump to Tuvalu for being my domain host. 🇹🇻

Which royalties from make up 8.4% of its government revenue.

Younger me in 1995: Oh wow! I bet in 2024 there will be flying cars. World peace. So much cool technology.

Slides

🛝

A vibrant green slide is part of a playground under a sunny sky with some clouds.

It’s about to begin.

(I really need a work table.)

A backyard patio setting includes a gas grill, a griddle, a propane tank, a metal chair, and a white fence.

I am a sad dad now that a sudden thunderstorm has come through preventing all of my yard tasks.

Just help yourself sir…!

A squirrel is climbing on a glass door near a lit table lamp and a smart speaker, with a scenic outdoor view in the background.

I think I have all of my organizing done for the birthday feast.

It is going to be a humid weekend. 🥵

A weather graph shows the hourly average humidity percentages throughout Sunday, July 14, 2024, with a daily summary indicating an average humidity of 72% and a dew point range of 70° to 76°.A weather graph indicates varying humidity percentages throughout the day, with detailed daily summary information provided below it.

Excited for making the grocery of things I need for my oldest’s birthday party. Making sure I have it all for prep work in advance.

Saying I have an 18 year old just doesn’t seem real.

Very eye opening reminder how time flies.

Hope do I cope with this? Making food. 🙂

Lessons from the first “Egg McMuffin” attempt:

Sounds about right the local power company would change everyone’s account number then force us to re-register an account.

But to then top it off do this over July 4th weekend where the site now gives a Bad Request. Seems like the made the change then turned it all off.

Ah the fireworks have already started….at 9am…. 😒
