Checking on my magnolia slabs. It was my first close look after my toe amputation. Things look good.

@noisyastronomer.com just saw your meta post. Just touching base so I know how to reach you, just in case. 😃 you’re doing good stuff. Keep it up.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

This balance board challenges every expectation I brought to it as a juggler. I wanted the ultimate level of performance and utility that I could pack into it. Here’s the 2nd video featuring my new rola bola.

Easily thousands roaring "ICE out!"

I’ve been working on this for a while. My new rola bola will debut at the Groundhogs Day juggling festival next week. It is a serious upgrade from pvc pipe.

I’ve been out of my workshop for a while. Here’s what happened to me in video. I had an amputation. More details in the video. www.instagram.com/reel/DTbiJBR...

I get my new orthotic tomorrow & I have shoes arriving. The orthotic should give me stability and the ability to start running again after my amputation. Meanwhile, I need to bring my legs back to parity. First bike ride was this weekend and I felt how weak my leg is.

Good morning. My son woke to these weeping angels and the warning note. He didn’t say anything to me about them before he left the house. 🙄 Anyway he must have seen his passenger waiting in the car when he was left this morning. Hopefully I’ll get some reaction later. #weepingangels

Justice Kavanaugh: "and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States."

The weeping angel continues to make appearances in new places around our house. I have a plan to up the ante before the big reveal. #weepingangel

When operation midway blitz started, the term “detained” was used to describe federal agents taking ppl. There has been a shift in the language being used among rapid responders and Chicagoans. Abduction/kidnapped feels more accurate bc there are no warrants, no badged agents, no due process.

I printed these weeping angels yesterday and placed the weeping figure on my son’s desk. He asked who did it and my wife and I denied knowing about it. It made 2 more appearances today in my son’s spaces. I just got home from lunch and found it on my desk. The game is on. Don’t blink. #weepingangels

My son runs down a list of things he needs to know for his chemistry exam. He says “Avogadros number.” I said, “I think it’s unlisted.” He says he gets it but people his age never used a Yellow Pages. In that moment I realized that my sense of comedic timing is off by about 30 years. #dadjokes

Been gone a while. Been a little busy having an amputation. But I’m finally standing again. I’m some time away from running but it’s good to ambulate again. More to come. Oh! I can wear matching shoes again.

Why didn’t they tell me that when I got older and took up woodworking, that I’d need a better sense of complimentary angles. This project is testing me in ways I haven’t been tested in 40 years. 🤣 #woodworking

Leaving my parents house in Miami with logs from the longan tree that used to grow in the yard. Climate change made the tree stop bearing fruit and it’s a hurricane hazard. I’m sending a to @leahhoughtalingww.bsky.social Because she knows the log song and she’s fun. #woodworking #wood

After decades of use and consideration, I finally realized that pancakes are served using a LIFO accounting system. This is why I am not an accountant. I only dated accountants in my single days. #Accountinghumor

“US military to start kicking out transgender troops next month, memo says.” Over 4,000 troops willing to die for their country are about to be discharged simply for being themselves. So much for the land of the free. Shameful. #MomSky www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The new pope is from Chicago. I reckon he likes deep dish.

Wood can have sharp edges. Watch this video I made and it will explain how I know this. Sharp edges youtube.com/shorts/moXrw... #woodworking #shopsafety

Magnolias are blooming. The trees have good wood for making furniture. Most wood from magnolias is sapwood. The dark heartwood is very hard and near the center of the log. I’d rather just inhale the fragrance of the blossoms but trees fall over and I’m lucky to rescue this wood from the landfill.

I wouldn’t say that the administration is a bunch of Nazis but I hear at their planning breakfast that they served Luft-waffles.

The new tool chest is coming together quickly and wry nicely.

Swapping in a fresh battery and powering through this final cut. Watch from the saw's perspective as the blade glides through, with a satisfying ending when the tape measure confirms a perfect straight cut. Tools don't lie - measure twice, cut once!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #woodworking

Look at this amazing turnout for democracy! It’s a full house at the Tallahassee town hall. Our congressman #congressmanNeilDunn failed to show. He’s hiding like every other Republican coward in congress on break. If they’re in a real majority, why are they running scared? #democracy #savetheusa

Screw that.
