New bump-outs/curb extensions all along Lincoln in downtown Hillsboro. You love to see it.

Jersey Mike’s usually makes a decent sandwich but some high school kid just ruined my sandwich with 5x as much mustard as should be legal.

I ordered some patches. One of the few times an ad worked to part me from my money.

I only have smart summon on my car for about a month during my full self driving trial, but this is gonna be fun to use when I see the parking enforcement coming for my car at work.

In every office I’ve ever worked, the dish drying rack looks like this, at all times. No one puts anything away, they just cycle through the dishes on the rack. So why do we even use them? I want to throw the damn thing away, make people dry their dishes, and put them in the cupboard. 🤣

My blog posts now show the syndication links when cross posted, which I’m happy about. And while I am getting Mastodon and Bluesky comments copied over from Bridgy with webmentions, I’m hoping to figure out a way to bring over likes and reblogs as well. Has anyone got this to work on Micro.blog? ✍️

Going to see Stars tonight in #pdx. Pretty excited. I used to love this album…20 years ago. These reunion tours are starting to make me feel my age.

Despite some lingering pain from last week, I decided to try the Smith machine again yesterday. I kept the weight light and got a good night sleep after stretching. I feel so much better today than I did following last week’s session. Wish I had a lifting buddy, I really want to make this a habit.

Went to the gym on Wednesday and figured I’d try some squats on the smith machine. Started off super easy at 75 lbs because I didn’t want to injure myself. Five days later and my hamstrings are still stiff and ache.

Caught a whiff of someone smoking clove cigarettes tonight and it sent me back to freshman year of college (1999/2000) in East Lansing. All my antics and failings. Total olfactory teleportation. Amazing how scents can send us back in time.

Seeing Nilüfer Yanya at Wonder Ballroom tonight. Leaving the house past 7pm on a Sunday night feels like it should be illegal at my age.

Hillsboro, Oregon has such beautiful parks & rec facilities. Very kid friendly town. We come to this area a lot because there’s an aquatic center, library, and a beautiful park all on the same block. And we inevitably spend some money downtown, too.

My kindergartener can now count into the 100s and is starting to read. My two-year-old daughter’s language development is exploding. It’s so much fun seeing little human minds develop.
