Realized I haven't shown any of my #knitting progress. I have the first three sections done and the fourth is almost complete. I actually had to frog a couple rows today as I'd completely messed up a row of the seed stitch. Repeated the row 1 pattern instead of doing row 2. That was super stressful.
The first 4 panels of a knitted scarf. From right to left a garter stitch section, stockinette section, basket weave section and a not quite finished seed stitch section. There is a mushroom stopper on the needle on the left with the stitches on. In the upper right is a ceramic yarn bowl with the ball of yarn and the other needle. The yarn and scarf are a rust orange color. The scarf and bowl sit on a wood table.

Hit Good Boy and Tron Ares today. Enjoyed the former quite a bit. Plot's a little muddled but I found the ending really effective.

Tron is what you should expect by now, very pretty, good soundtrack, a plot that doesn't really amount to much. I had fun.

First apple of the season. Rave. Crisp and juicy. On the tart side. Love this time of year.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating that Beacon Patrol is just a lovely chill way to end an evening. Love playing this with my wife to wind down at the end of the day. #boardgames

Decided I wanted to try to learn to knit. As a treat for finishing my last project and starting a new hobby I picked up this yarn bowl at the farmer's market tonight.

I can cast on relatively well. Figuring out the knit stitch is giving me a little trouble. I'll get there.

A ceramic yarn bowl with a ball of light brown yarn in it. There are two bamboo knitting needles in the holes of the bowl. The bowl is glazed brown on the outside and there is a gray star above and to the right of the needles. It's sitting on top of the dally bugle Lego set box. There is a bookcase in the background with lots of books stacked pretty much every which way. Ignore the books.

So I'm bad at judging how close I am. And I did little else. But about two weeks shy of one year the cross stitch is finished! Cloud and Tifa are forever at the bar. Yay! Plus the back for you sickos. You know who you are. #crossstitch #finalfantasy7 #ff7 #crafts
The front of a completed crossstitch done on yellow Aida cloth. It's a 3/4 diorama scene of cloud and tifa in the bar 7th heaven. Cloud is sitting at the bar with his buster sword on his back. Tifa is behind the bar. The characters are from the game final fantasy 7. This is the 8 bit version not the recent remake so the characters are pixelated. The back of the cross stitch described in the other image. It is very tidy.

Almost done! I'll hit a year working on it in just over two weeks. Hoping to finish just before that. We'll see! #crossstitch #ff7 #wipwednesday
A work in progress cross stitch that's probably about 90% done. It's a diorama style scene from final fantasy 7 featuring tifa and cloud at the bar seventh heaven. It's just three upper portion of the picture that's unfinished. There is a chibi Cthulhu needle minder in the upper right corner. The fabric is a pale yellow.

Up to my usual summer shenanigans. Almost all of this homegrown or from a farmer's market #salsa
Chopped salsa ingredients on a yellow cutting board. There are tomatoes, jalapenos, green pepper, white onion, garlic, serranos, cayenne along with a red spatula off to the side

Got in some #DyingMessage tonight. Alas my murderer wasn't found. Continue to love Oink Games. This is a fun little game where you try and leave a message that lets the other players figure out which suspect killed you. #boardgames
"crime scene" photo taken for the board game dying message. A bearded man in glasses lies on a felt pool off blood. His right hand points at some cards arranged next to him. They include a shaded circle above a horizonal line and an eye to the left of a vertical line. Above him is a row of suspect cards with the letters a and b visible above the two cards on the left.

Took @chuckwendig.bsky.social to some woods on Mirror Lake. I'm sure this will be fine.
A copy of staircase in the woods held up in front of mirror lake in Utah with some woods and bald mountain in the background. Three cover of the book shows a staircase amid some trees

That moment when you're playing bomb busters with your wife and daughter and it's the final training mission. You have two of three possible yellow wires and one of two possible reds. You've figured out your wife has the red. You've been playing for a bit and have several numbers figured out. 1/x

Hiked the Mount Timp trail this morning. It was gorgeous. #hiking #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography
Picture taken while hiking the mount timpanogos trail. There is mountainside on the left with several pine trees going from left to right in a rough curve up the hillside. The sky is light blue and there's a puffy little cloud that's lit light orange yellow by the sun. Macro photo shot of some pine-ish foliage. It's light green with bits of yellow at the tips Shot of a canyon looking out onto the basket with some more mountains in the distance. The sky is blue with a not quite c shape of clouds in the foreground and more clouds in the distance.

Anyway, if you’re interested in a free game show and are willing to have you and your group recorded for posterity, get in touch!
The 7 rounds of “Mall Night Long”, my virtual game show. Includes names of fictional mall stores like “10 Star Video” and “Big Money Arcade.” The letters EEHLSW are displayed, with the clue “When they’re driving, they’re always tired.” Can you guess the scrambled word? A blue vinyl album marked “DISCO”, from our Name That Tune round where all the songs are played at the wrong speed.

Free slurpee and Superman all in one day. Pretty great!
Slurpee day 2025 cup with a coke slurpee in it. It's a very colorful cup featuring an open mouth with dark blue lips and the top row of teeth with stars on the two front teeth. There is a hand hiding the cup.
