Just a cool pose of a neat little knife from years past

We got this from the Great America Outdoor Show during my five year anniversary trip to Philly a few years back.  Julie and I have passed it back and forth between us a couple times.  It's currently "mine" 😂

All the mascots are out celebrating

It was Twisters birthday (31) last week.  So all the area mascots got together to celebrate.

Andy took a cool picture of his work

Leading companies

It's nice to see my work get this callout.  I've said it since something like 2020, we're out there ahead of the competition with a useable product on the factory automation floor where AI works, and is easy enough to use to be practical.  That's served us well.  Now we just need to take it to the next level and keep the competition in the distance behind us.  Hopefully the future is bright.

Another pretty sunset in the snow

My new sticker spot is coming along well…

…maybe a little too well.  Will need more room soon!

Battle at the Bunker, haha.

During Battle at the Border, they were jokingly changing the name during our competition.  We locked ourselves in, sheltered from the weather, and pushed through all in one day.  After the fact, they even modified the schedule to the way it went down.  Fun memories.

Got the snow out of the way

We were treated to a pretty day after the snow storm.  

Pretty snowy sunrise the next morning

I got my snow blowing down after John finished.

He got the daylight, but I got to enjoy the beautiful starry night! It was COLD, down into the single digits and windy.  But it was still pretty.  Enjoy the view. :)

Johnny figured he better get busy!

 He needed to clear his driveway to get out for work if Ohio ever opened back up after the snow 🤪

Just a pretty Sunday morning

We woke to quite a blanked of snow Sunday morning a week ago.  Andy and I were glad we got home before it settled in on us. With the wind blowing out of the North East, we figured is was gonna be for real…

What a foot of snow looks like!

Fun with In-N-Out

I grabbed some of the marketing material, activity kit and shirt graphics from our trip.  I like the "10 State" picture in the upper right.  Fresh, simple and delicious quality you can taste.  That sums it up pretty well!

A pretty wild cheese…

We got this one at Jungle Jim's.  It was funky for sure.  It's covered in a layer of mold that gives quite a tang to the cheese.  If you leave it sit out for 30-40 mins, it's better, but still something you'd have to develop a taste for.  Cool packaging, but just a little over the top for more than a spoonful at a time…
