I'm just a random guy on the Internet. I enjoy theme parks, roller coasters, movies, music, and reading. Lives in Utah. Home park: Lagoon. I'm a little obsessed with computers and enjoy building and repairing them. Left Twix tastes better.

My wife and I celebrate our anniversary this week. We enjoy visiting national parks. Those visits usually happen around our anniversary. I found out this year my wife has never been to Dinosaur National Monument, so I surprised her with a trip out there. She was so excited and quite enjoyed it.

Was helping my mother clean out her garage of some old stuff and found my old roller blades. That brought back some memories.

Got me a new mechanical keyboard to go with my new Mac Mini. I decided to go with some retro keycaps. This thing looks like the IBM keyboards that I used in school many years ago. I love it.

My brother has been wanting me to read The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson for a few years now. I finally decided to pick it up. I'm 13% into the book and really enjoying it so far.

The front cover for the book The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. Shows two people standing at different ends of a chasm. Each looks to be holding a spear and the one in the front is pointing a sword into the air with the other hand. The sky has a low hanging son with a bunch of clouds in the air.

People of Bluesky! What is your favorite animal? Quote share your answer.

I love flamingos! The birds are just so quirky and fun to watch especially in groups as they chatter with each other.

Got tickets to see Red One on Sunday! I've been looking forward to seeing this movie since I saw the trailer.
Movie poster for Red One showing the main characters: Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, and J.K. Simmons. It also has the CGI polar bear behind those four. Their names, the title of the movie, and a sleigh with two reindeer below that.

Hmmm. Spyro Reignited Trilogy is on PC Game Pass. I never played any of the Spyro games before, so this might be a good chance for me to play it.

It's been awhile since I've been able to participate in a World of Trucks event. Just finished my first delivery!

#Gaming #AmericanTruckingSimulator
A screen grab of the Cruising Arkansas event on the World of Trucks website featuring a picture of a truck. The text on the screen reads: "Using External Contracts or External Market, with a World of Trucks-connected profile in American Truck Simulator, the community goal is to drive 125,000,000 miles (201,168,000 km) while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Arkansas. When a player completes a delivery to or from 10 different Arkansas cities, they will achieve their personal goal. Note that the in-game city of Texarkana spans both the Arkansas and Texas DLCs. Only jobs to or from the Arkansas portion of the city, shown as 'Texarkana (AR)' on the External Contracts job screen, count towards this event."

My wife and I decided to head out of town for a couple of days. We have a running joke that every hotel we stay at gives is the best views, which translates to parking lots or roads. Our streak continues with this amazing view!

Went out to Hogle Zoo last night to check out Boo Lights. Haven’t done this in a few years. Really enjoyed just walking around and looking at the lights.

My wife asked me to pick up some milk recently, and I came home with a brand we don’t normally get. When she asked me why, I just said “Hulk.”

Since I got the Windows update that has the preview of Copilot, I decided to try the image generation. I asked it to create an image of "a drunk cat at an amusement park." The image is the result. The caption on the t-shirt is hilarious. The corn dog being an actual ear of corn made me chuckle.
A cat wearing a t-shirt, pants, shoes, and sunglasses standing in front of two ferris wheels and two circus tents. The cat is holding a whine glass and an ear of corn on a stick. The shirt says "I'm not drunk. I'm just puirrefcty tipsy!"
