Cornbread dressing & cranberry orange bread

Still need to make (packaged) gravy before I eat. Collard greens not pictured, because picture of collard greens is boring.

OK, it's no longer #Thanksgiving here (past midnight), but, this turkey breast came out very well, very moist. I just need to make gravy yet. Dressing is in the oven with the cranberry-orange bread.

You’ve just died.
The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

[This is the 6th, if you follow my rule and count "double snaps" (to make sure at least one is presentable) as one]

I now have a photo of Olive and Avocado, though I know not which is which! #CatSky

Marshall bass head had unadvertised damage to the "blend" circuit. About to be a neutral feedback.

Seemed like the A-string was a little flat. And of course I suck. I hadn't played this bass in like 10 years before tonight. That's the Marshall tube preamp with 3/4 gain fed through the Peavey post via effects send/return.

I really find this guitar beautiful (it does have a couple of finish gashes on the rear corner at the base, but, not visible from front). I am also really loving the humbucker sound with a good bit of Supersat(tm). #Fender #Peavey

the two Dell SFF (small form factor) PCs I've dealt with over the past year, similar vintage. It booted, but the background was gone/black (WiFi? didn't check), the clock was arbitrary, and then it eventually crashed with KERNEL_HEAP_CORRUPTION. WTF just from changing a display?

A move that takes place where you are from (well, where I'm from since I was 24)

OK, going to watch the first half of the #Celtics game; should be able to finish the job at halftime.

I knew the donor laptop had no SSD but now I know (unadvertised) that it also has no WiFi card. I have an 802.11n one somewhere (original one from 2013) I'll install when I'm selling it, if fits.

1080p donor screen removed from donor laptop (laptop works, I plan to sell it on Craigslist after all this, but with the 720p screen from my existing laptop)

I considered cancelling the order, but, $3...why bother.

There was a surprising dearth of kits under $5, must be tariff-related.

Now this project has been delayed so long, it's static season. Can't believe that thing was totally invisible to me for, hell, 11 months.

What would orange babies be without their calico/tortie elders?

When an internationally touring band shows up with this basic kit, you know that mf knows how to handle things. Neal Peart and all those big kit, 12-tom drummers rock, but, these OG funk dudes with their snare and two toms...am I wrong?

#ThrowbackThursday #CatSky This photo could also be used on Sunday or Monday!

There was enough light to bring out her diluteness for a change on that occasion in 2021.

Oh and museum station has overhead power, not third rail! That's also cool. I think it's cute that the train logo there has the circle like the Tube/Underground haha.
Here is the Green Line (upper) level at Park St; it has 4 tracks and is a trolley line.
Also some old tile from another station.

"Hey Féla" the first song I ever heard by Master sound. Late night on a Shoutcast station from Europe (probably Germany) on WinAmp. Probably was 2005.
