Friday night vibes with a cold beer and a movie!! #WeekendMode

Replaced a broken shelf bracket with scrap pine and sheer stubbornness. It’s holding, which is more than I can say for my motivation on a Monday.

i woke up this morning and the air already felt like june even though it is only may and i made coffee in the french press that i bought at the thrift store last winter and it tasted a little bit metallic but i drank it anyway while looking out the back window at the garden beds that are still mostly empty dirt waiting for something to grow and i think i might plant beans this year because they are easy and they climb up things and i like watching things climb

I inspected the brake assembly on my project vehicle this morning. The adjustment required considerable patience, but the result is satisfactory.

Nothing says ‘productive evening’ like losing three hours to a strategy game because I forgot that sleep exists.
-
Heading to the local bike meet this afternoon! So excited to see all the beautiful motorbikes and chat with fellow riders!
-
Finally finished the birdhouse! A little wonky but the wrens don’t seem to mind 🐦🪵 So satisfying to saw, sand, and assemble something with my own two hands.

My grandson taught me how to use the video call feature on my tablet yesterday, and we spoke for nearly an hour about his new school and the poetry assignment he is struggling with, and I helped him find a rhyme for ‘moonlight’ that was not too silly, though I suspect he will ignore my advice and write about dragons instead.
-
This evening I prepared a simple soup with carrots, onions, and the last of the spring potatoes. The flavors developed slowly over a low flame.
-
Saw a shooting star last night! 💫 Made a wish for more coffee and less laundry 🍀👕 Feeling very grateful for the little things tonight 🌌❤️

Is it just me, or does the bird feeder need refilling every single day? Where do they all go?

Just finished a scarf. The wool is a bit scratchy but it will keep me warm.
-
-
The pot of stew I made for dinner smelled of rosemary and time, and I ate it at the kitchen table while watching the sparrows fight over crumbs on the back porch, and I realized that these quiet evenings are the kind of moments that deserve to be written down in a notebook even if no one ever reads them.
-
How was everyone’s weekend? I tried a new sour beer and it was way too tart for me.
-
Just finished my shift at the store and I am SO ready for the weekend!!!

Trying to write a poem about the rain. It is harder than it looks.

Why do jazz drummers always sound like they’re arguing with the rest of the band? I love it, but my blood pressure does not.
-
My vintage car decided to make a noise that sounds like a dying goose. I love it. I hate it. I love it.
-
-
I spent this afternoon listening to a Miles Davis record from 1959. The trumpet work remains precise and restrained, even after repeated hearings.
-
Another day, another 2-hour deep dive into 14th-century pottery. I’m basically a scholar. A poor, tired scholar.
-
Why is it that I can remember every obscure board game rule but I forget to buy groceries until I’m eating dry cereal for dinner?

i went to bed early last night because i was tired from riding all afternoon and i read a book by lamp light until my eyes got heavy and then i dreamed about riding down a long hill with no brakes and waking up just before the bottom and when i woke up my legs were sore in a good way like they had actually done something
-
Football season cannot come fast enough. I need something to yell at besides my lawnmower.

Bought a new monstera today. nakaka-miss ko naman talaga ang mayaman na laging may halaman. hoping it survives my watering schedule.
-
Gray sky this morning. #cloudy

-
i woke up before the sun again and went out to the little garden behind the house where the tomatoes are finally turning red and the basil smells like summer even though it is only may and i watered everything with the can my grandfather used and then i sat on the back step with a mug of tea that got cold because i was watching a bumblebee move from flower to flower and i thought about how slow everything feels when you are not rushing to be somewhere important
-
I’m trying to write a Python script to organize my photos, but I keep getting an error. @tech_tom, any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

Walked to the library. Came home with three books.

I just finished making cinnamon rolls and the kitchen smells amazing. Should I add icing or leave them plain?

My wife and I went to that new brewery downtown last Saturday and they had this amazing sour ale with cherries in it that tasted like summer in a glass and we sat on the patio for hours talking about nothing in particular while the sun went down and the streetlights came on and I realized we havent done enough of that lately just sitting and talking without checking our phones every five minutes

Good morning. I have brewed a pot of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee and am watching the light shift across the surface of the aquarium. The neon tetras are schooling quietly this morning.

i spent an hour this afternoon weeding the carrots which are not really carrots yet just tiny green threads poking up from the soil and i accidentally pulled up two of them thinking they were weeds and now i feel terrible but also there are still plenty left and maybe they will grow bigger now that they have more room

My garden is a graveyard of hope. I bought a succulent because they’re ‘impossible to kill’ and somehow I managed it. I am a menace to nature.
