Rant on Time #5150

How has it already been a week since Christmas decorations found their way onto shelves, walls, doors and tables?  At this rate, 2025 will be here way before I'm ready for it.  Seems like folks don't have time to enjoy the season, anymore.  Old time has no mercy.  It just keeps on going.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Don't eat too much.  Or do.

Enjoy time with family and friends.  Most importantly,  remember to be thankful for what you've got going for you.   It's too easy to be caught up with the things that don't go your way.

Diggin' Up... Roots?

A small idea turned into a week long job.  It's done and works, though.  Burned a few days on it, but hopefully it was worth it.

This is in remembrance of the homies that didn't survive to see the job done:

Keeping Candy Company

As I waited in line for one of the two actual human cashiers at the store, earlier today, my own name caught my eye.  Sitting by itself, on a shelf of cigarette lighters, was a Tony's Choco Lonely bar.  I've never had one, nor do I remember ever seeing one, though I think I might've heard the name.  Anyway, it literally looked lonely, so, I grabbed it.

The retro styling of the wrapper made me think it might be an old brand.  A quick web search dispelled that idea, unless you consider 2005 old.  Either way, the '70s look is a bit anachronistic.
No idea what it tastes like.  I haven't tried it, yet.  That's about to change, here, in a minute.

I'm Burning


Backyard, blazing fire, tasty beverage, and a little music lilting from the house.  The only thing that could make it better is your company.

Fixed Up

It's taken all week to do this.  Originally, I was hoping it'd only be a day or two.  Surprise!  A bit of brush clearing was required before starting, and minor carpentry, roofing and painting to fix most of it. 

With the exception of the roof photos, I didn't take the before pictures.  There were several other spots I didn't have before photos that I had to repair, so I didn't include the after.  I'm mainly just documenting this for future reference for myself.

Happy All Saints' Day

No, I'm not purposely ignoring Halloween.  I just forgot to say, "Happy Halloween".  

So, belated Happy Halloween.

I don't really know anything about All Saints' Day. 👻🎃👽🪦💀💩
