Formerly @overdesigned in various places. I contain multitudes; an old pilot trying to make more old pilots. Illinois! Very food motivated. Views not those of the DoD or US Gov't. He/him.
It is unfair that I am not allowed to keep my scruffy yet dashing salt and peppery facial hair past the four day weekend during which for legal reasons I will state that I did not leave my house.
UNFAIR.
I got a lot of work done on making the office / guest room / ex-navigator-and-Harrier pilot shrine a complete space today.
Still gotta buy a big wooden set of aviator wings.
learning about Deep Dish, how it started out as a kinda thick pizza and it's later that a Mississippi chef, Alice Mae Redmond, changes the crust to the modern shortcrust and increasing the height from inch high to very tall and deep

I didn't take any pictures but this was my best run of smash burgers yet. With muenster. And garden tomatoes and truffle hot sauce. And toasted buns OBVIOUSLY
I wrote to the Tractor Supply board today. Here is what I sent. Even if you've only ever bought one thing there, I encourage you to write, as a customer.
As long as @envirojules.bsky.social 's garden keeps giving us a bunch of cherry tomatoes I'm going to keep making weekend brunch hashes. And posting them.
(This one is with green chili & cheddar sausage!)
So far my favorite thing about the blackstone is that it lets you cook things in piles. Pile of vegetables. Pile of chicken. Pile of eggs. Pile of bacon. Separate piles. Together piles. Whatever you want. Pile cooking 24/7. This was a desire I did not know I had.
That's a weird label for a bottle of Bucky
(For those who don't know, Buckfast is blackcurrant wine that's 14.8% alcohol and has 90mg of caffeine per 5oz. This bottle is the size of a can of Coke and has 210mg of caffeine compared to 32mg in a can of Coke plus the alcohol of 4 glasses of wine)
I have thousands of underlings working for me right now. Millions, by morning. My army is terrible in size; its number would drive other, lesser men to madness, but I will tame it. I pledge to only use it for good.
so yeah I have pizza dough and waffle batter yeasting overnight
my dad set up parental controls on the family computer that made it harder for me to play play-by-post dnd games on forums, so an older kid in the dnd group walked me through making and using an ubuntu live CD to get around them. today I work in IT. thanks Justin, whenever you are
So they obviously had this prepped and ready to go, right? NYT basically in the tank for Donny is the only way I choose to read this.
This is my one politics skeet of the night we now return to our regularly scheduled programming
This is probably the best picture of "your dad used to be cool" I'll ever get (even if it's not ME, just representative). Someday I'll put it in a good frame but I exhausted this year's framing budget on other Harrier art that didn't fit in a 20x30" frame.
(@_10speed on IG for plane pic folks)
Pulled a full kitchen trash bag of garbage, a full vacuum cleaner of crumbs, and a 37-gallon tote worth of Kid Stuff out of the minivan but it's clean(ish) now. Whew. Road trips, man.
The Taurus Shield labeler has abruptly ceased. Early talk is allegations that they added former members of the Aegis team to their team, and this was leaked to a somewhat negative bsky reaction. Developing events, so expect more details to shake out later.
