Saturday night in Charleston.

Saturday night in Charleston.
The SO said she was at the store and they had Pokemon cards, but she didn't grab any because she didn't know if they were the right ones....
I may have to tell her tomorrow that the store had flowers, but I didn't know if they were the right ones. This is war!

No matter how old you get, your siblings will still be a pain.

My phone rang. No one calls me, we just text.
Always pick up the phone. My best friend's wife needed to unload and just talked for two hours.
I texted him instantly. 30 years of friendship and 15 years of of them together.
"She needs to talk, but not to.....me."
Empathy is....it is.

I may also have a very large fish tank. One of the two blue eye red plecos showed up along with the reticulated loaches. The albino Cory cats are generational. Oh, there are also neons and glass cats.

280 packs of Pokemon, 60 shots of fire all, and thousands of pieces of candy in 90 minutes. There are still lines around the block.

Took me long enough. I get how you can lose time in Balatro really easily.

I assume this is the right crowd. I miss when EVGA made video cards. Never a problem. Overclock the hell out of them, no problem. Cross ship for another. Oh, and your old dual 980tis died, upgraded internals. I am still running a 3080ti ftw, and no software can beat it.
Get off my lawn.

I am such a sucker for these physical boxes. Add another one to the collection.

I mean, when in Connecticut for work, might as well get a decent slice.

Well, I found some 2025 pokemon Halloween cards at Walgreens. 15 packs for $10. Now if I had 20 kids at my house each year, sure. Last two years, we ran out after 200.
Older packs, but they joy in the eyes of the kids when they get candy and Pokemon!
Resellers kill the fun.

Tonight's motivation was, what I hope, is the last edging and mowing of the front lawn. I also put up the LEDs in the office and I am pretty happy with how it turned out
I can now see to read and organize cards and comics.

On tonight's episode of productivity:
New ceiling light in the office. I may have overdone in with the 5k bulbs:).
Going to put LEDs all around the ceiling next so I can balance it how I want.

When a friend sends you this picture, you drop every game, grab your emergency case of beer, a couple of cigars, and Uber over.
Pork loin on the left, sausage and sweet corn on the right.
I am so full right now:)

I've graded comics out of my collection before, but never thought about cards. I went through some of my boxes and decided to send these out.

This evening's productivity was fertilizing the lawn, watching the Cubs win, then fixing the SO's broken fan relay and connector on her truck (fans wouldn't kick on so it was overheating).
I ever mention how much easier it is to work on my Chevelle instead of this Lincoln?

Sunset from my deck last night. No filters, just my phone and nonexistent photography skills.

Just changed a breaker in the house and figured out the problem with the house AC unit. Truck overheated on the way to get the AC part. Tomorrow changing an AC capacitor for the house and putting a new fan relay in the truck.
This being cheap and handy thing is taking up a lot of Hades II time!

This is going to be a good weekend. Now if a hurricane comes through Monday, maybe an extended gaming weekend?
