Weekends are never long enough.

My snail mail letter pile has been growing, due to a new family member, writing time for replying to a letter has increased quite a bit. 🐌✉️

Playing with the NOMO app a little.

Current home screen, I’ve had 4 rows on apps on the home screen for several years now. With the new phone, I’ve been tempted to add another row, but the trouble is finding another 4 apps that I use consistently enough to move to the front.

Three years ago this month, we were just getting in 900sq of hardwood flooring for our 2nd floor remodel.

We are in fatbike season again, this is a throwback to one of the first rides I did when I got my Moonlander. Many miles have been put on it over then past several years, and I expect many more. 🚵

I’ve been meaning to do this for quite some time now, but I’ve started a new page, The Remodel. I plan to update it with photos, and details about the 3+ year remodel that we’ve done on our 1892 Victorian house.

Sometimes you crave a really dark stout. Today feels like one of those days. Heavy Boots of Lead is pretty good, not sure it’s quite worth the price I paid for it, and at that price it will not hit my fridge again.

In the effort to free myself from “free” services, I’ve started to consolidate and delete some of the things I’ve been using around the internet. The most recent one is Wishlistr, I used it to provide a wishlist of items to family. I’ve since moved my wishlist to a page hosted here via Micro.blog, which is a much nicer option for people to follow links.

Wishlistr, since it is a “free” service, injects ads in the urls you save. So when someone clicks the link to check out the item you’ve saved, they get fed to an ad server before redirecting to the url they actually should be going to.

It snowed.

Current conditions: white-out. 3-6 inches of snow expected overnight, with snowfall rates up to 1in an hour.

I’ve never done something like this before, but I got some new fountain pen friendly paper to try out, and was told it was better for art than writing. So I dumped some samples on the page and went to town. I used a letter opener to spread the ink around, and this is what happened.

The car is in the garage. For the first winter storm of the season, we got the car in the garage. In the 5 years we’ve owned the house, the car has only been in the garage once, and never this time of year. I’m looking forward to not having to clean it off in the morning.

Today’s fountain pen carry.🖋

We are under a winter storm watch, from Monday evening through Tuesday morning. Possibilities of heavy snow with snow fall from 5-9 inches. This will be the season’s first heavy snow if it comes, and I’ll most likely need to get up early on Tuesday to clean out the driveway.

Just spent 20 minutes taking apart the vacuum trying to figure out why the roller wasn’t working. After taking the roller bit all apart, I figured out the issue was actually the roller cutoff switch in the handle. At least I got to clean all the strings and crap off the roller.

On the walk home. We got our first snow yesterday, and it seems to be sticking through the start of the weekend.

I’m looking forward to trying this, I love normal Kraken, and this smells delicious, but I’m not sure what I want to mix it with. I don’t think rum and coke with this rum is the right answer.

Took Moose for a walk after work and decided to play with the new cameras on the iPhone 11 Pro. Wow is this a fantastic camera. 📷

Today is Election Day, I voted, did you?

Played D&D for the first time in several years. Online game, using Roll20, Teamspeak, and real dice. It was a blast, and I look forward to our next session. 🎲🐲

Picked up Rogue Legacy from the App Store yesterday. I’m pretty horrible at it, but it is a great pick up and play 5 minutes game. This is the best I’ve done so far!

With a new baby in the house, Muenster doesn’t get much lap time, so he enjoys every minute he can.

This isn’t something we normally see in central New York.
