Pipes

They've put up a few more walls since last time, and just recently dug out trenches for, then installed a bunch of what I assume are plumbing pipes (all those white tubes sticking up.)

Crazy Train

Some lunatic tagged this train car.

Did Not Add

So I was looking at a friend's blog and saw they were getting their DNA checked which reminded me that I had posted about my own adventures in tube-spitting a while back but never followed up. We got the results back ages ago, I just forgot. Turns out I'm pretty much a European mutt. Mostly British and Irish.

Therapy

The Sniper Elite series isn't spectacular. Set in WWII this is a series I enjoy, but would never pay full price for. I always wait until it hits the virtual bargain bin. Part 3 here I got for 9 bucks on Steam sale. What brings me back is it's just a fun game with very solid sniping mechanics. It's not deep, it'll only last about 10 hours of game play. But it's good, Nazi killing, popcorn fun. And can't we all use a little of that lately?

Now And Then: No Jimi

Hard to believe I started my journey to learn guitar almost 5 years ago. Back then I gave myself a 50-50 chance. Looks like I was about right. I learned a little. About 3 years ago I borrowed the pink guitar and went electric. I learned a little more. Still can't play. People have been encouraging me to get lessons locally and I think I might do that if I work up the gumption. Time to either learn the thing or admit defeat.

Playing With Dirt

Stardew Valley is an indie game about starting a farm in a small town. There's a lot more to it than that including adventuring in a monster-filled mine, fishing, and many other activities, but at its core it's a farm sim. It's also crazy addictive and I've put a ton of time into it. I think I'm finally ready to put it down and move on the to next game, but this was a little gem. Mari just started playing it and she's hooked too. 

2024

I have given my glasses to Ultra Sentinel Bititron for safe keeping. The next American eclipse is in 2024. Maybe we'll go eclipse hunting. I can now see why people do.
