Waterfall break

Zoe and I enjoyed a little break by this waterfall while we were on our rollerblading trip in Corwin.

In the middle of our skate day jaunt

I alternate biking, walking, and skating.  Skating seems to be a little long and fast for her little legs.  Maybe Zoe can work up to it? 🤪

Finished with our bike ride on a pretty day

We found a dead raccoon on our walk…

It somehow ended up dead in the pond.  The dogs were very interested… So I pulled it out into the meadow for the vaulters and other scavengers to enjoy.  Top right is when I first pulled it out.  Bottom left is 24 hours later. They made quick work of the poor little guy.

One is ready, one is not…

I’m thinking about going on a walk with them.  It’s funny the different way they each prep for it 🤪

T-shirt outlasted my career…?!

Laura got me this when I first started working in engineering around 33 years ago.  I wore it again the other day to celebrate unemployment :)

New yummy burger spot

This opened up over by Andy’s house and we had to try it.  Smash burger style.  Really good.  He made the mistake of ordering a quad burger.  Just a little too much meat…

I rescued several baby birds

They’d somehow gotten into the bottom half of the barn and couldn’t get out and back up to the eves where their nest is.  So I helped them find their way out.

Laid off just after…

Pretty funny to get this in the mail a week or too before they didn’t need me anymore hahahahaha.

“Model printed successfully” 🤪

Sometimes 3D prints don’t go as planned.  This was what we found after the printer sent us a message saying it’d finished successfully LOL! Notice that the bulk of the print has been thrown off to the left side of the printer and landed on the desk!

I might have bought Julie something…

We bought the smallest package of the cheapest seats we could find.  We used some of our Christmas and Birthday allocation. Just barely enough to qualify for these free season ticket holder gifts.

These would be decent seats…

It was fun hanging out in the arena with my girl❣️ What a weird date 🤪

We found Elmo at the Blue Jacket hockey open house

Sesame Street was there years ago and this balloon got stuck in the rafters (left pic).  Somehow, the internet did its thing, and now Elmo is an unofficial mascot.  Can you  find him in the right pic?

Julie and I hit the open house

We’re enjoying cheering for the Blue Jackets sometimes too :) I liked this mural at the main entrance.
