Friday marked 5 years of sobriety from alcohol for me, which was nice. Then on Saturday I went to my city’s pride parade. I asked a friend to come with me, and another friend if they wanted to play a round of disc golf afterwards, but both cancelled. This usually means I wallow in self-pity, but instead I got geared up in my gayest outfit, and enjoyed the festival anyway! it was like 100 degrees, but I was proud to see so many happy people having a great time in one of the most welcoming, accepting environments ever.
CONGRATS!
Congratulations on your 5 years.
Thank you! I texted my father, saying “oh, look another year down!” and he replied “ok,” and told me his plans for later that day. So you’re actually the only person to have congratulated me on this so far. So, thanks!
Credit where it’s due. LOL
I redesigned a mechanism for an automata I’ve been working on for over a year for the fourth time, and now it’s like half the size and way more reliable then the previous prototype.
The heat hasn’t killed me yet
Even the heathdeath if the universe is too warm for me
What do we tell the god of heat?
Summer is coming
I have been trying since January to get a teaching job in Portland (I live in Dallas) for the next academic year, and this week I was offered positions by two different school districts. This weekend, I have been working out which job to go with, I think I’mma go with the one that pays a little more, might be able to offer funds to offset relocation costs, and has less trafficky access to downtown and Vancouver (I have friends in North Portland and Vancouver.
So yeah…got that figured out; tomorrow I’ll be looking for an apartment, taking my kids to Terry Black’s for some world-class barbecue before Texas is forever in my rear-view mirror, doing some packing, and playing some THPS 1+2.
Congrats! Going from Texas to Portland, think about transit going into it. In the right mindset for less commute, but play your cards right and maybe you won’t even have to drive to work!
Visiting my grandma for her birthday.
cooked fluffy rice with no burnt ends!
I took a couple of very cute selfies in a new outfit and had a difficult but fruitful conversation with my girlfriend about some insecurities that I was having in the relationship.
And thank you for the question! I include this opportunity to share my joy as a good thing that is going on with my weekend.
What good things are going on with your weekend?
I love rainstorms and got a doozy yesterday, that was pleasant
Got to spend some time with my son and he got to meet his newborn sister .
Congrats!
You won’t believe it, I got up and went for a run! Yay!
Redoing the spark plug wires on my old truck and pulled off the valve covers and cleaned the rust off and painted them.
They’re looking real pretty now. Excited to get everything put all back together.
I got a good deal on a projector that I used to set up a home theater in the basement complete with ambient lighting, couches, and even a mini fridge. Now, I’m just waiting for the weekday to start so I can go to the store to pick up the cords I need for the sound system. Been playing my PS5 on it and it looks amazing!
I’ve been celebrating the Midsummer Day with my family. Here in Finland, the whole country basically closes down for the weekend and almost everyone heads to the countryside. Fire officials had banned bonfires this year, so no ‘kokko’. Lots of good food and even greater company, plenty of swimming and enjoying the sauna!

Testing out my meshtastic setup and seeing friends.
TIL: Meshtastic - An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices.
Our local city went from a couple of hobbiest to around 20 people getting into it. It’s like a pager lol. But it does have a phone app as well as a web one.
