The two family members appear to be getting along just fine. Rüger & Daisy. #RhodesianRidgeback, #Ridgebacks

Welcome our newest family member, Daisy. She's a 6y/o full-breed Rhodesian Ridgeback. She was returned to her breeder after 6 years, reportedly the family couldn't handle her. Rüger has a new older roommate now. #RhodesianRidgeback, #Ridgeback, #DunedinFL

Personally, I'm agnostic. I'm not against faith, but I do feel faith is earned by verifiable evidence and experience. I do find it interesting, however, when faith and reality cross paths. #TurningPointUSA

I can highly recommend the DEWENWILS 240VAC/40amp Matter Smart Switch. I replaced my aged mechanical pool pump timer with this. Installation was easy and pairing with the Home Assistant matter server was even easier! Completely satisfied. #HomeAssistant, #HA, #HAOS

What I love about Home Assistant? It's open source; it has a massive community of enthusiasts and developers from all over the world working together for the same goal. A few developers reek of arrogance, but mostly people try to help each other - regardless of their nationality. #HomeAssistant, #HA

Nope, not spoiled. #Dunedin, #Rhodesian, #RhodesianRidgeback, #Ridgeback, #DunedinFL,

Holy Coquito! 😁🥰🎄🎅 Feliz Navidad! I’m not Puerto Rican, but a close friend is and she was my mentor! And she won’t tolerate short cuts. We steep the spices into a tea and use more rum than you should. I’m honored to be her student. 😁 #PuertoRico, #Coquito, #Christmas, #HandmadeGifts

Thanksgiving in our (AirBnB) mountain-top cabin, Stecoah, NC.

Thanksgiving week at 2,900 feet in our AirBnB cabin in Stecoah, NC. Rüger loved it!

it’s evening now, but I love these kind of days. 🥰 #solar, #SolarEnergy, #RooftopSolar, #DunedinFL, #DunedinFlorida,

Front porch sittin’ kinda night. Yes,, that’s a Rhode Island state flag - I was feeling nostalgic for home! #RhodeIsland, #NewEngland,

Our Star Fruit tree is kicking butt again. This the second fruiting this year, and it has new blossoms on it. These things are massive and mildly sweet! #gardening, #Dunedin, #DunedinFL

We hosted Neighborhood Movie Night on our front lawn and about 8 families joined us - it was a fun time. #Dunedin, #DunedinFlorida, #DunedinFL,

Great job on a grass roots TV commercial for our small airport. #KSPG, #AlbertWhittedAirport, #StPetersburg,

Now THIS is a sentiment I can get behind. #Republicans, #Democrats, #politics, #USA

We hold an every-other-month Ridgeback meet-up in Tampa @ the Hair of The Dog park & Pub. It's a Craft Beer & Wine pub in the middle of an outdoor dog park. Rüger loves it! #RhodesianRidgebacks, #TampaBayRidgebacks,#HairOfTheDogPark, #Rhodesians

I volunteered for kitchen duty at our local American Legion (Post 275) - we hosted a free meal cookout for our veterans and members. Everyone had a great time, and I got surprised by some long-time friends. #ALPOST275, #AmericanLegion, #SAL, #DunedinALpost275,

Having fun at GECKOFEST in Gulfport. #GulfportFL, #Florida, #GECKOFEST,

Life is good. Get a dog. They ground you and remind you of what’s really important. #RhodesianRidgeback, #Ridgebacks, #dogs, #Dunedin, #Dogs,

Walking by the pool and this just looked like a cool shot. #Dunedin, #DunedinFL, #DunedinFlorida, #Florida, #Photography, #Reflections,

What the southern old-timers called “front porch sittin’ “. And I love it. #FrontPorch, #Southern, #Florida, #Dunedin,

Our base camp in the Everglades. ❤️ #Everglades, #EvergladesFL, #Florida, #Camping, #Hiking, #Kayaking, #RV, #Camp,

Kayaking in the Everglades. I love camping here. #Everglades, #EvergladesFL, #camping, #kayaking, #KayakingFL, #Florida, #Camp, #Campers, #Hiking, #Wildlife,

Polished up new menus for the home automation system. I also integrated Music Assistant and integrated the Spotify add-on. I'm blown away by how powerful Music Assistant is. #HomeAssistant, #HA,

What’s exciting here is that we programmed Isaac with instructions on where to look for very specific info, but not with what to say. So as the info changes, so does his answer. #HA, #AI,

How do they raise homes on the shoreline and barrier islands in the Tampa FL area? As scary as this looks, it's a common and well-engineered practice.

Rüger is guarding the homestead. 🥰 #RhodesianRidgebacks, #Ridgebacks, #Rhodesians, #RRs

Rüger, enjoying life and tearing the palm fronds that fell. 😆 #RidgeLife, #RhodesianRidgeback, #Ridgebacks, #Rhodesians

Rüger wants some attention. 🥰 #RhodesianRidgebacks, #RidgeLife, #Ridgebacks

Caleb Bailey submitted this photo to Tampa meteorologist Denis Phillips. The two waterspouts were moving offshore (away) from them in Sarasota/Bradenton yesterday. #DenisPhillips, #ABCtampabay, #waterspouts, #Florida, #FLweather

Private pilot for almost 18 years, and I never knew the threshold markings denoted the width of the runway. I even checked my old study material and the FAA Pilot's Encyclopedia - no mention of it! I learned something new today! #privatepilot, #airportmarkings, #uncontrolledairspace,

Three siblings from Arizona, Daura, Dylan, and Devon. They call themselves "Life in 3D". They sing a wide variety of music, including some amazing Christian songs. But is was their harmony in this Paul Anka song that stopped me in my tracks! #Lifein3D, #harmonies, #siblingsingers,

Imagine combining an AirBNB and airport home? Yup, they exist! And there's one right here in Frostproof, FL. Rent your AirBNB and literally land your plane right there and taxi up to your rental. Cool Huh? #FlyinAirBNB, #RidgeLandingAirpark, #PrivatePilot, #RidgeLanding

Experimenter Shane Rehm has really taken building a private AI to a new level - I love the talking skull! #ShaneRehm, #homeAssistant, #AI, #HASS, #HAOS,

Immediately after I set up camp, Rüger went into "guard mode". It was really something to see. 🥰 #RhodesianRidgebacks, #Ridgebacks, #Dogs, #Everglades,

Boondocking in the Everglades with Rüger. #camping, #everglades, #sunray109

15 years ago the flight school I received my license from purchased a full motion simulator. It was a big for our area, so Fox 13 Tampa did an interview with Charley Belcher - it was funny to watch. #FlightTraining, #FlightSchool, #PrivatePilot, #PIE, #StPetersburgAirport youtu.be/tvUdQWc-B2g

Florida is much more than tourism, beaches, and major cities. The real beauty of Florida is our rural areas. One of my favorite areas is the Ocala National Forest in the center of the state. Check out this video. #Florida, #camping, #ocalaforest, www.ericdpeterson.com/wp-content/u...

Our candy-striped Frangipani is in full bloom. ☺️ #plumeria, #gardening, #Frangipani,

It was only a matter of time; the game is about to change dramatically! BYD introduced a new battery system that can recharge from 0 to 250 miles of range in just 5 minutes. It's too bad the US didn't invest in infrastructure like the UK or China. #BYD, #EV, #ElectricVehicles,

I've been slowly converting my smart devices over to matter-compatible devices. I'm impressed. They're system agnostic, don't require special apps, and don't need external internet to function. There's no turning back for me, I will not buy another smart device that ISN'T matter-compatible. #matter

Yes, seems like this sometimes - where they've invented a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Isaac, that’s what I call the computer that runs most things in our house, says yesterday was a good solar day!

This 2024 movie is obviously relevant, and if you have standard Amazon Prime it's free right now. I felt it was very engaging and the cinematography was impressive. It's worth your time. #conclave youtu.be/JX9jasdi3ic

It’s a gorgeous evening on the front porch. It’s been a while since I’ve dug out my 2 meter handy-talkie and hit a local repeater. Found one local ham to chat with. …73, de N1IVC.

Squeaky clean solar panels. 😁

I think it's time to work on Isaac 2.0, he's getting a little snarky. 🙄

Sun N Fun 51 is here. I realize a certain topic hordes all the news, but this started Tuesday and runs through Sunday. Shout out to my favorite podcast: Uncontrolled Airspace - hanger talk for us little pilots! #flysnf, #uncontrolledairspace,

I've never been a fan of Google, Alexa, etc. I don't like the privacy/security risk. Last year I built a custom A.I. and have been tweaking it ever since. Tonight I'm using machine learning to teach it it's new name and some new skills. #customAI,

Rüger never passes up an opportunity for a nap. #rhodeasianridgebacks, #ridgelife, #ridgebacks, #Dunedin, #DunedinFL,
