My name is Brian; it means “to rot.” Husband, Pops, assembler. Bad attitude, terrible posture. Minneapolish, by way of Rockford, IL. my opinions are your own.
A little blizzard won’t keep me from my grilled meat!

“You can’t go home again,” only applies when the food stops filling the void.

(For the uninitiated, Rockford, IL has tons of amazing food. Tonight, it was the pizza for me)

The other socials were plagued with this as well but Bluesky gets its own caption because I love it so.

My wife got me this guitar for my birthday, and I love it so much.

(Sorry for sloppiness, I was literally just plunking on the couch after putting the little ones to bed 😅)

Despite the dreaded man-cold, I still pulled it together for band practice tonight. Needed that!

I’m usually more of a Fall girly, but the hammock is hitting hard today.

Front loaded active alarms because first shift is hell.
My wife and kids are my nap alarms. They don’t require backups and offer no snooze button.

It’s on Disney Plus, I’ll let you borrow my mom’s D+ subscription if you need it (for academic purposes of course).

We finally got enough of a thaw to crawl around on the roof and take down the Christmas lights.
Might fire up the grill without feeling insane, as well!

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Let them in!

(Don’t worry, the acoustic is in the case with a humidifier)

Props to Old Man Winter for delaying the snowstorm enough for this as yet unnamed band to squeeze in one more Wednesday practice before the holidays!

Opted for an independent study rather than drive the “Corridor of Death” that is the snow covered highway between my town and my drummer’s house. Gotta live to shred another day I suppose 🫤
