From the back yard…
Falcon 9 launch from my backyard in Tampa. A darkish sky, red glow from the rocket with stars in the sky.

Hey northern friends, I need some help. What is this white stuff called that’s on top of my car? It seems that the car is covered in this crap.

Maybe it’s time for me to move south.

It’s a bit chilly in Tampa, also our coldest day of the season. 😃
A screen shot from my weather station app showing it was 35F at 6:55am in Tampa this morning. Down almost 30F from the previous day.

Understood. Dammit does the same with squirrels but she is slowing down a step (she’s 10) so I don’t have to worry about that any longer. Her slowing down is a good thing and a SAD thing all at the same time, if you know what I mean. This is us going home for the 1st time from the SPCA.
My dog Dammit and I leaving the SPCA and going home for the 1st time with her head on my shoulder in the car. It was also what I believe was her 1st car ride. It’s one of my favorite pictures of us. She was a year old when she found me.

I have one of those as well, when I first got her she would just coward when I tried touching her. Over time, she learned to trust and she’s the best dog I’ve ever had in my life. My best friend and our protector.

We had steak for dinner.

Me: Dammit, get out from under the table while we are eating, go lay down.

Dammit: Ok fine, I’ll go into the bedroom.

To her credit, her feet never left the bedroom. LOL

Union Station Hotel, St Louis MO. It’s a pretty cool place. If you ever find yourself in St Louis it’s a great place to stay. I give it a solid 4.5 out of 5.

An unexpected project at my daughters house. I LOVE projects!
The beginning of ripping out the wall to reveal the fireplace. My daughter and me, the wall with the calendar is gone. Re-wiring begins tomorrow! The bricks will remain exposed because it looks cool. Shelfs will go in to the left of the fireplace. Unfortunately those 3 2x4’s are load bearing and will need to stay. But I have a plan to cover those and make them look natural.
