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.
Skype is shutting down today. I will be honest, I was surprised it was still a thing. I think most people have already moved to something else.
Best part of being in my mid-40s: throwing my back out handing my wife her tablet
This is just silly: Jack Black’s 34-Second ‘Minecraft Movie’ Anthem ‘Steve’s Lava Chicken’ Becomes Shortest Song to Enter Hot 100
Me: I really need to eat better.
Also Me: Oh look, that is a good deal on a bag of Reese’s!
I was listening to a podcast where two hosts were trying to convince the third host that the term gaslighting was actually called gaslamping, and they almost succeeded. 🤣
Mowed my lawn for the first time this year. I forgot how lumpy my front yard is, so my ankles are killing me as they went every which way with each step. Maybe I’ll spend some time this year researching yard leveling. Then I won’t look like I’m drunk while I mow. 😁
Just what the world needs: another Twitter clone with AI. 🤷♂️
I finished all episodes of Futurama again. Wasn’t sure what to do now since I enjoy watching a few episodes a week up to an episode a day, so I decided it just makes sense to start the series again. Can’t go wrong with that.
It seemed easy enough. I didn’t account for all the boxes stored in the spare bedroom that I had to move around and find new places for. I’m exhausted.
I decided to remove all my social media apps from my phone in January. That lasted maybe a month and then I had reinstalled a few. Now I’m feeling the social media overload again, so maybe it is time to cut back again.
The world is a silly place. I think it is time to drive a virtual truck and complete the Cruising Missouri achievement.
Got a big play tree for my parrots to hang out on. I put it together and placed it in their room. Will be interesting to see how long it will take for them to actually use it.
Washer update. I couldn’t figure out where the leak was coming from. I have an older washer that I held onto since we moved, so I just swapped back to my old washer for now instead of either paying to get the newer one fixed.
I forgot how loud my old washer was. lol
Just discovered my washer is leaking out underneath somewhere. Guess who gets to do some cleanup and maybe repair a washer?! Me! What fun times.
I went to see Snow White with my wife. My wife had no interest in seeing it, but I was curious with all the criticism of it. I didn’t actually think it was that bad. It’s not my type of movie (musical), but I still had some fun. I do agree with people that those CGI dwarves were a choice. lol
Looks like Superman: Escape from Krypton won’t be reopening at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
This is one ride I always hoped to try, but getting to Magic Mountain before just wasn’t in the cards.
Been out of work for a few months now. My best friend sent me a job to apply to with the company he works for. It was a very nice gesture, but it would require me to commute 60 miles one way. Not sure if I want to drive that far, but I’ll think about it.
My town has had more snow in the last week than the rest of winter.
Wife and I finally had a chance to watch episode 3 of Daredevil Born Again. The show continues to knock it out of the park, and the ending was nuts. I love it.
I upgraded my phone today, and I realized the thrill of getting a new phone is kind of gone. It’s almost sad to think about that these little super computers in our pockets are just common place now and changes are mainly incremental improvements now instead of new amazing tricks.
Just watched the first two episodes of the new Daredevil series on Disney+. It is so good. I love Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, but I have to say Vincent D’Onofrio’s portrayal of Wilson Fisk continues to be the best!
Was planning on doing a delivery a day to two deliveries a day in American Trucking Simulator to complete the Cupid’s Express event. Was unable to play for a couple of days, so now I have some catching up to do.
American Trucking Simulator is running a new community event: Cupid’s Express. I decided to get in on the fun and made my first delivery. Need to complete 13 more to finish the event.
I recently reinstalled Windows on my PC, and I have been trying something new with software. Instead of going to a website and downloading, I am using the Windows Store in Windows 11 to see how much I can install that way. I’m actually surprised at how many of the programs I use are in the store now
