Always fun seeing what Andy’s up to with his tools

And his marketplace exploits!

Cool early morning shadows

The moon and the snow combined to make a nice bright 3a photo.  Not sure which is more creepy, the shadows or me being up wandering around at 3a hahaha.

It sure was cold when we woke up last weekend!

NOT feels like temperatures, these are real temps, Alaska style.

Oh yeah, don’t forget the nacho helmet!

I decided to splurge for an evening and feast on this helmet full of loaded nachos. I eat around the chips and thoroughly enjoyed the multiple kinds of meats and fixin's.

What a fun hockey giveaway night

A weekend ago, we had quite the souvenir weekend. First, I picked up an autographed puck from the points we get in the Cyclones app.  They also handed out savings banks that night.  The next game, they handed out trading card packs and the frenzy of trading ensued.  We enjoyed ourselves in spite of the meh performance of the team of late. 🤪

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. :)
