I’m 3 months shy of 50th birthday…yesterday I survived my first rugby outing in 10 years with no injuries and I’m pretty darn proud of myself 🍻

Looks like the midlife crisis may have hit…I just signed myself up to start playing rugby again, 3 months shy of my 50th birthday 😅🤷‍♂️

Between the very cool Ireland and Munster Rugby jerseys that @dermotncosgrove.bsky.social gifted me at our meet up, and this badarse Kraken jersey, I am feeling extremely blessed to have the great friends I have 💙🍻 thank you guys! 🙏

I just opened an out of the blue package, from my favorite high school wood working teacher @lordsnorkel.bsky.social What the actual F mate?!

Ladies and gentlemen…I give you the end of a short lived era. I now return you to you regularly scheduled viewing 🍻

Caught up with @mannson.bsky.social for my first real Chicago deep dish experience and a chat. Delicious food and great company 😊 see you next time in ABQ!

LETS GOOOO!!!!

Decisions, decisions @dermotncosgrove.bsky.social 😉

Chicago I am in you

I think I’ve spoken about the local Starbucks staff on here a couple of times, but their latest shenanigans are the funniest yet 🤣🤣🤣

Flat top breakfast- steak, eggs and potatoes 🤤🍽️

New work PC, who dis?

Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta “special shapes” balloon glow on Friday night

Pork ribs, a piece beef short rib, mac and cheese, potato salad and kiwi salad 🍽️

Heading to a family cookout tonight and asked what I could bring…the unanimous request was a “kiwi salad” 🍽️

Pollo a la Brasa (Peruvian chicken) and a chopped salad for dinner last night! Will definitely make this again, but next time there will be green sauce 😊🍽️

New System of a Down shirt came in today…Love it!!

Marilyn Manson 2025 tour with the lovely @jennica101.bsky.social 🖤

Back in stock! Take my 💵 oafnation.com/products/dnc...

Jorts for the win!!

These screen shots are from instagram and are promoting “threads” It looks like the algorithm is now flagging people that have made comments or posts at some stage, that the current administration don’t agree with This is scary shit

Bambu 3d printer engineers have a sense of humor…check out the speed settings 🤣

When prints go bad… I’m blaming the Labubu print 🤣

Golden, buttery, crunchy Crumpets y’all 🤤🍽️

Violating my "no Bluesky during football season" tenets to parachute in and say that my weird obsession with far right splinter groups and their shibboleths has finally made me the expert on something. The shooter wrote 4 shitpost memes on bullets and every single one of them is a dumb groyper meme

Breaded lamb cutlets with a little blackberry and rum drizzle sauce and a Mediterranean inspired salad with beets, feta cheese and balsamic dressing 😊🍽️

I found a cheap rack of lamb at the store so frenched it and made breaded cutlets, ready for cooking later 😊

Watch out for Electricity kids!!

One of my staff brought little Binks in to visit today 😊

Noticed the Air Force Security Forces blocking the road outside my work and then saw these two taking a leisurely stroll towards the entry gate…not concerning at all right? Nothing to see here 😅🤣

Finished dinner My attempt at Bulgogi beef with stir fry and udon noodles…i think It turned out great 😊 🍽️

I’ve been lazy and It’s been a while since I posted one of my own dinners. Sorry about that! Tonight we are having Bulgogi marinated beef, stir fried vegetables and Thai wheat udon noodles all cooked on the flat top 🍽️🤤

A crab boil and axe throwing…a fun night out in the 505 😊

We’ve got a busy morning this morning, so I grabbed the lovely @jennica101.bsky.social a sandwich from Starbucks on the way back from dropping T1 at daycare. She is less than impressed that she’s been going to that Starbucks for years and they know my name and not hers 🤣

Lunch is spicy Korean wings from Kokio 😊

I concur!!

Kids are down for the night and I thought I might jump on and play some of the Battlefield 6 beta…except something is conspicuously missing from my gear rack…like my $300 custom controller with the chat mixer to attach my headphones. 😔🤦‍♂️ the joys of having tall toddlers

T1 has a blast grading the front path for his play house too! 🤣

She’s all mine for the day boys!! It’s the small things in life…or in this case, the mini things 🤣

Our work neighbors 🤣 Sound on at your own risk!!

English crumpets and Vegemite go together like peas and carrots 😊

Found this beautiful little arachnid tucked up in a door jam at work. It is kinda shaped and moves like a widow, but the colors are way off. Anyone know what it is?

🤦‍♂️ “Last year, Australia shipped almost 400,000 metric tons of beef worth $2.9 billion to the United States, with just 269 tons of U.S. product moving the other way” www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

We found some old Victor Rat traps at work today. I’d never seen the brand before and their mouse logo is quite cute…until it isn’t 😳

I couldn’t decide what to make for dinner, so shark coochie it is! Looks fantastic on the fancy arsed cutting board @lordsnorkel.bsky.social and I started while I was there 😊

Soooo…after range time yesterday with my .357 carbine, I felt I’d be remiss if I didn’t own a handgun that shot the same ammunition. Say hello to my new Taurus model-88, 6” barrel .357 magnum revolver. Now the 7 day wait begins 🤣

Got some range time in today 😊The carbine is zeroed for 40 yards with .38 special. The bullseye shots on the center targets are .38 special, the high shots are .357 magnum

There is no such thing as the perfect hat to wear in November, to the All Blacks vs Ireland rugby game, while proudly sporting my mullet…oh fuck…wait one

Went for a post-op walk today and true to Albuquerque style, found this on the footpath. At home all compressioned up and ready for 3 more days of procedures on my legs

Bacon cheese burgers and salads for my Brother-in-laws birthday dinner 😊🍽️
