Starting off the day at my unironically favorite place: the dump. Taking the second load of brush in. Still at least one more to go. And the back of the jeep is loaded with crap from the basement to toss out.

Scored the sickest beer league goal tonight. That was a nice 2G night.

Today’s weekend warrior project is extracting the trailer out from under five+ years of overgrowth and brush piling up. Yes believe it or not there is a trailer under that. Actually I had already started removing brush when I took the pic

Bluesky, I never do this, but we need your help.

This beautiful cat is suffering, and we need your support. She has a condition called “the bedroom door is closed”. Symptoms include “being mad” and “SCREAM”.

With just a few thousand donations or likes we can find a cure by opening the door.

I wrote this eight months ago and it’s as relevant now as it was then.

Dressing up to wfh

We’re back home after wrapping up the summer with one more live show.

This one was a bit of a pilgrimage for me. Ever since I was like, 14, I’ve wanted to go to a show at Red Rocks.

So when one of my favorite artists was playing there, a Colorado local no less, I finally made “some day” today.

Whenever I’ve been feeling like crap for a few days I like to dress up to kick the Good Brain Chemicals into action, anyway my outfit today is great

So my solution to this ended up being:

- notch the studs by about 1” to stay code compliant
- install false studs in the drywall to hold the unit
- build a frame to wrap the unit between the wall and trim
- install the side of the frame to the false studs

Tomorrow i’ll touch up drywall

The weekend’s 3rd project is replacing the faucets in the upstairs bathroom that we let get too calcified. And settling of the house means we need to seal some gaps that have grown over 15 years

Weekend project #2 was taming the front patio. I don’t have a before pic, but there was a lot of leaves and junk left there from previous projects.

We need a better bike solution, but I have ideas.
