I have been slacking on posting my daily Instax Pal pics.

I've been taking them...I've just not posted them here.

Comfort food from #wafflehouse on this snowy day.

Here's my second Muppets from memory drawing. No reference photos.

This is Fozzie in my mind's eye.

Officially out of school tomorrow too.

I may have to get brave and venture out today, though.

One of the things I dislike greatly about snow days is that I end up on my phone way too much.

I don't love the way that makes me feel, so....

Time to get up and get moving.

Did a little walkabout in the snow. I got some pics with my new (to me) camera.

I just got the call/email that my school is closed tomorrow.

That's a win.

I would hate to have been cooped up all weekend and the first time I get out afterwards is right back to work.

"Frigid" and "Sedentary"

When I draw the Muppets, I almost always use a reference.

But I wanted to try to draw some Muppets just purely from memory. This is how I see them in my minds eye.

First up, Gonzo the Great!

The temperature is lower than both of my dogs ages.

Even if my dogs were really old (they're not), this would be unacceptable.

I'm getting too old for winters.

"Viewpoint" and "Obstruction"

Side note: this little camera is incredibly easy to misplace. Hence these photos being posted on the 22nd

You guys remember Savage Garden?

Man, I really enjoyed their music. I wonder whatever happened to them.

Look, I'm no expert, but I think that if you combined all seven deadly sins into a human form, it would be really orange with a face like a sphincter and a terrible yellow comb over.

The Moka pot I bought is a freaking game changer. This makes some of the best coffee I've ever had at home.

Delusions of grandeur about my brewing skills are a dangerous possibility.

Goodwill and Nutcracker.

So, I had honestly forgotten about this song. But I heard a clip of Merle Haggard singing it on tiktok the other day and memories flooded back. I remembered Pawpaw singing it when I was younger.

"Ukes" and "Defiance."

Side note: didn't intentionally have two pics with the new Superman shield, but the odds are not low around here.

This is a song that I'd honestly forgotten until a clip of Merle Haggard singing it came across my tiktok.

Memories came flooding back and I remember my grandfather singing it.

I'll finish it and post the full version soon.
