Good morning everyone!
I'm going to try salting some Green Onions today to preserve them. Should be an interesting experiment.
If it goes well, I shall post about it.
If not we shall never speak of it again. 🤫

Good morning! I am as much a fan of love as anyone, but Valentine's day just feels like an excuse to have sex and eat chocolate!

I just saw a YouTuber say, that in regards to negotiations, Donald Trump plays darts while Mark Carney plays chess. 🤔
I kind of like that analogy..

Murmuration for you
So I just pulled into a strategically well placed parking spot and my wife looks around and says "Perfecto!".
I turn to her and say...
"Why do you have to bring up that smug asshole's name! You know I hate clowns!"
She married me by choice. 😁

It amuses me greatly that my most well liked comment recently is on how I make chicken broth! 😄
It serves me well by keeping me from 'simmering' in my own self importance. 😉

So I have decided to go back to University and audit some classes. Learning has always been a lifetime pursuit and I'm looking forward to it! 😀

Good morning everyone! Sunny day today and my new fun thing is checking my Solar panel monitor app and watching the power collecting.
It's the most exciting boring thing to do! 😁

After much consideration I downloaded all my data and deleted ChatGPT. I think the technology does have its uses in some situations, but It's becoming impossible to ignore the environmental, ethical, and socioeconomic misuse of it. 🙁
