By the time I got home, the snow had all but disappeared. I thought my rig looked pretty nice on the thinnest of snow blankets. So I grabbed these pics while goofing around out front of the garage.

Winter is coming?
I was out running errands a few nights ago and got hit with this little squall. The predictions for the weekend sound dire… What are the chances they’re right? ;)
Some of the guys at work were messing with me…
This was their use of AI to show me either putting the spilt beans back into the can, or combining our two meeting threads back into one. Regardless, pretty fun version of "me", hahahahaha!
These are really cool!
There's a gazillion of these floating around all the socials. I'm trying not to get sucked into any of them as most are probably too good to be true. This particular supposed design, coloring and quality looks pretty good on the screen. I decided to satisfy my self by saving a pic. 🤪

Watching a video about an abandoned IBM training facility…
The urban explorers in the video stumbled onto some cool artifacts behind the rear projection room of the main training area.
Imagine the days of being the guy that had to find a keyboard, make the little arrow, stick the printing on it, then frame it up on a film camera to make this one slide to add to the projector carousel to be shown in a training presentation on where the enter button is on a computer! 🤪
This facility was in its heyday about the time I was entering the work force. It gives you an idea how things have changed during my career timeframe!
Back at it again - Kendama
Andy and I are headed to one of our two annual competitions again soon. So I have my trick list and have run through it a few times. I added a couple new ones I can do (nightingale and hanging pinch start-tama grip-spike for example), got better at some that used to stop me (one turn lighthouse), but I still have a couple that are always gonna give me trouble (whirlwinds and juggles). At least I make a little progress every year 🤪
Julie bought this cheese at Kroger!
It's a sheep's milk cheese laced with black truffles. It is REALLY good! Just the right firmness, texture and flavor!
Cracking open Papua New Guinea coffee!
Julie got me a k-cup maker for Christmas. It lets me use my own coffee and still enjoy the convenience of Keurig. So I ground up some of this I had in the freezer that Dave and Deb gave me when they visited. It's a unique and flavorful brew. It also helps remind me to pray for their work and ministry translating God's Word. :)
Just too cute!
I thought this was just too adorable a pic of the boys. I had to post it for old time's sake❣️ It's fun to think of the light saber days gone by.

Ok, one last comparison…
I found these "factory" pics of my first and second Jeeps. This is roughly what they would have looked like stock. The bottom pics show the last time I had them out for some fun and give a nice comparison for all that had been done to them along their journey. Really happy with my current build, its drivability, and it's trail prowess! :)
What kind of wild monsters roam our place…?!
I discovered this huge, clawed footprint while on our walk!
Then I realized it was just Chloe, hahahahaha! She's so scary ;)
Hands free walking belt…
I grabbed an old army surplus belt and a "swivel" so that I could walk the pups and not worry about holding onto their leashes or getting them tangled the whole time. I do really like the "no-pull" harnesses that have the leash connections in the middle of their chests, they are a 93% improvement!
This setup works pretty well for me and makes it more enjoyable for all involved 🤪
Been playing with watch faces…
The amount of data you can get on one screen is just crazy silly these days. 20 pieces of info displayed on the left one, and access to 5 or 6 more by touching the screen. The right screen is my standard walking/biking workout data. Nuts!
