Not sure what we're going to do about our Sequoia/Yosemite/Kings Canyon National Parks trip coming up in a week. The parks are open, but does a visit actually count if you don't get your passport stamped?

Is October 10th too early for egg nog?

I get to play games with another person in Cleveland tomorrow. It's a Halloween miracle so I dug out my spooky games (except Horrified because I'm not feeling co-op& I never got around to printing the Abbott & Costello fan characters). I can't decide which one I want to play most.

New tiny Lego wildflower bouquet. Botanicals has become my favorite line of Lego products. They're easy to display and don't look quite as nerdy to company as R2D2 and Ecto 1.

Went to a used game sale in Canton and picked up this signed copy of Steam for $15. I figure I should play it one time in my life.

This is actually pretty good.

Just finished Raising Steam. Starting The Shepherd's Crown then I'll be sad that I have no more new Discworld to read.

Oh, I do not like the new way bgg user profiles appear on mobile.

I have been influenced.

Yeah, I'm not giving bluesky my credit card, id, or ssn to verify I'm an adult. I might be around here much longer if I lose access to features.

Excited to see the Guardians and Reds both made the playoffs!

Just finished watching Superman and now I'm bummed I never made it downtown to see the Daily Planet.

I've been thinking about these mini chips all week. I sold a set a few years ago because I didn’t like the case. 🙁

I just posted my annual Age of Steam Con Recap geeklist. boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/362...

It wasn't a good night for the mascots.

We only lmay serious games at Age of Steam Con.

Thursday night we played my map in its final form. I couldn't be more happy with how the art turned out. And yes, we played with the tiddlywink money.

The end of the 30 player Age of Steam Donut map. It was wild. Everyone was playing their own 5 player game with 2 people to their left and right. I won my individual game and had the second highest score overall.

Currently in the longest pre check line I've ever seen in Cleveland 😬

It's fitting that I'm reading Raising Steam while preparing for Age of Steam Con in a few days.

I didn't think roll and move games could be fun until I played The Magnificent Race and the new CMYK edition of Magical Athlete.

Nobody puts (Huge) Baby in a corner.

3 days till Age of Steam Con and 60 days until Age of Steam Con UK!

I will never skip the Peacemaker opening theme.

I think my dental hygienist was a little too gentle this time. I like it when my gums feel like they had a massage. Today I just have a slight minty taste from the flouride treatment.

I had plans of sleeping in until I woke up at 7am to the sound of our neighbor having their roof replaced.

Pretty sure I'm going to have to check a bag if I want to take Hot Streak to Age of Steam Con next week.

Yesterday I had a migraine and right now I have a nosebleed. What fun will tomorrow bring?

I never thought I'd by a game from the Exploding Kittens people, but here I am assembling tiny furniture.

@dnlnwmn.bsky.social found 2 new flavors at target today.

Mother in law complaining about covid being on the rise, but won't get the new shot because her dr told her they aren't safe. Nevermind the fact that she has received them all up to this point and never had an issue. 🙄

Kitschcon was a blast. Thanks for the games @thebuckeyegamer.bsky.social, @overthehillier.bsky.social, and everyone else I met today.

Kitschcon bag packed. I might grab Fireball Island Race to Adventure and/or 13 Dead End Drive.

I had a mystery package on my informed delivery this morning. It says it was delivered to my mailbox at 1:50pm, but there's nothing there. Hopefully it shows up tomorrow so I can figure out what it is.

The way Chrissie Hynde pronounces Cuyahoga in My City Was Gone really annoys me.

I need to find a way to respond to people asking about the covid shot without showing my complete disdain for the way it's being handled or I might get fired before the shot is available.

I think September might be my favorite month. It's warm enough outside that I can wear pants sandals, and a tshirt. I can also consume all of the pumpkin without judgment.

Interesting pairing at Target

I just found out about Lost Valley of the Dinosaurs and I need to find a copy ASAP. I wish they weren't all in the UK, that the dollar wasn't so weak, and that tariffs/import fees didn't apply to 40 year old board games.

I finally watched John Wick 4 last night and the entire time I was just waiting for Caine to say "I am one with the force, the force is with me."

Lots of folding today.

Of course Final Binary would come back in stock right as shipping to the US becomes prohibitively expensive or impossible in some cases. 😭

Black Keys concert tonight. I haven't listened to much of the new album, so I hope they play the hits.

Oh Lord is good, but Do Ya Wanna Taste It was perfect. Maybe it will grow on me over the next 7 episodes.

My last cube4me order was delivered while I was at work today 😭

Saw the pennyfarthing guy on my way to the boardgame flea market. I hope that means I'll find some good deals.

Which one should I read next?

Has anyone tried those p'kup card lifter things? I'm fed adds for them all the time and I'm wondering if they actually work.

I really like this picture I took of Arthur last night.

Annoyed at how small the Balatro text is on my Switch vs my phone.
