Got my smaller kettle sitting at 275 ready for the turkey

Beef ribs going on for dinner. Turkey booby going on in a bit.

Heeyyyy our street is dry for the first time in weeks or months. Thanksgiving miracle

Sometimes you gotta listen to your doctor and have your vitamins. Cheers y'all!

Gravy prep

Noms tonight

Update on the 8 blue-green chromis I added to the tank yesterday. They're all swimming together now and eating so much food! All good signs!

PJ’s pumpkin pie project perfectly prepared.

PJ heard Rachel and I talking about what we were making for Thanksgiving. I'm making turkey and beef ribs. Rachel is making spoon bread. PJ said, "I want to make something! I'll make pumpkin pie." So, here we are.

My urchin buddy in the living room tank

Too bad there ain't no more in the bottle Tuesday. cheers y'all! Time for Karate Kid Legends.

Our Innovative Marine Nuvo 112 EXT reef tank is home to: 🐠 Fish: green mandarin, 2 snowflake clownfish, yellow tang, hector's goby, gulf blenny, 8 blue-green chromis, lubbock's fairy wrasse

Turkey dry brine applied: salt, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, herbes de Provence, 16 mesh black pepper for texas bbq fans, and some sumac

I wish the best for Blake Grupe. I believe in a decade or so he'll look old enough to have a job and I'm sure will land in a good place.

The new dishes are doing quite well in their new home. There is one nervous chromis out of eight, but he should come around soon.

I want to get this little buddy a girlfriend. ❤️

Bald eagle buddy was doing laps around our neighborhood today. Rachel saw the same bird yesterday so seems like we're part of a territory / hunting area.

LOL this picture that PJ drew at school is awesome. I love how @chezlin.bsky.social is the shortest one of us three.

Hello little pom pom crab buddy!

Da eagle(turkey) has landed. 😂

Added a new little buddy to the living room tank today. This is a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse. Also added another sexy shrimp as I build up to a group of like I dunno 10 and then I added some more trochus snails for my clean up crew.

Short little tank tour video of how things are looking. ❤️

Noms tonight was yummy soup dumplings. I love that our little buddy who is only 5 eats just about everything and loves a culinary adventure haha Also she's def growing her housed like 6 dumplings and some snap peas.

Not the best message to see from your kid's school ... I'm glad they take things seriously, but sad they have something to take seriously.

My awesome wifey best friend personal YouTube trained hair stylist hooked me up with a haircut. Thank you @chezlin.bsky.social love you!

Sometimes your friend is about to take a big engineering test for a stamp and you need to bring him a bottle of mezcal to pour no matter the outcome. Also, bring him your empty egg carton for his chickens. Lol

Super excited for PJ's Santa photo session this weekend with Jennifer Anne Studio. PJ is gonna be super surprised because we got her the Santa activity package so they'll make cookies together and stuff. Should be fun and I figured why not while she's too young to worry about being cool lol

I know a bunch of y'all and for (mostly) good reasons don't like LLMs or AI in general. That's fine. Today, though I used ChatGPT as like a dynamic worksheet to work on nailing down ways of describing my values and that's something I've struggled with for years. I'm 43 (I think). (Math checks.)

The answer is this week or weekend. It's open!

Today I tried to smoke some chicken breasts and then like confit kinda situation.. life got in the way I didn't use my remote thermometers. Over cooked it. BUT I got a shit load of kerrygold smoked clarified butter out of it. So, I made a smoked butter old fashioned and I'm feeling better...

Check out these skrimp aren't they sexy?? JK I know that answer they're indeed Sexy Shrimp. Don't mind the camera hog tang who came outta nowhere once the camera was out.

Y'all if you're in New Orleans this weekend and are a fan of records/vinyl you should check out www.recordraid.com and say hi to @hunterking.heads.social.ap.brid.gy for me if you see him.

Anyone know when the fishing pier at Breakwater Park opens to the public? #NOLASky

Little buddy

PJ started her swimming class at UNO today. She loved it.

Sometimes when I'm making water for the fish tanks I'll get a text from SWBNO telling me I probably have a leak.

I know the economy is shite and things are tight, but if you want to help fund a playground situation at Morris Jeff Community School you can join PJ's team with any size donation: mybooster.com/v3/dash/klDp...

I was pulling my hair out because I couldn't get my water quality pure enough with my RODI system that was just working. I changed the DI resin, carbon block, and sentiment filter. Then RO membrane. Still not pure. Took resin cartridge out to check packing. Found damage. Replaced and back to 00 pure

Made the fam some swedish meatballs for dinner since we had leftover mashed potatoes. Noms!

Bruh, I'm going to have to call Sewerage and Water huh? The street outside my house is wet pretty consistently and there is no rain in sight. :(

Playing D&D for the first time and decided to pair it with some tumblin' dice ;)

Grilling up some marinated chicken thighs on the new Weber. I had it low and slow for like 40 minutes now I'm finishing up temp and color
