Was out moving trailers around during the 1pm Awooo and I gotta tell ya it hits differently now even out here in the burbs...

Hey MSP peeps, I have one extra ticket to the First Ave thing at noon today. dm me if you're interested.

Video of the shooting of another individual in Minneapolis, Minnesota this morning. Share the video so they can't hide what happened!

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Driving into work this morning got slowly passed* by a black Ford explorer with tinted windows and cop spotlights, as he passed, saw the mn blackout plates and a thin blue line flag. So, trump chud, not trump goon... *I was doing 70, he was doing 72

I don't suppose anyone happens to have an old T10 G17Q slide projector bulb just laying around? Going through stuff at moms townhouse and came across three carousels full of slides and a Montgomery Wards slide projector, but there's no bulb in it...

Lap dog.

Driveway report from the 55109: 2.5-3" snow just cleaned off, didn't fire up the snow blower, was able to use the pusher to get most of it near the edge, then the scoop to clean all the way to the edges. Wet and heavy on the bottom inch, hopefully whatever else falls tonight doesn't compact too...

Bought my wife an igloo for Xmas (she asked), got the frame assembled yesterday. Was considering pulling the clear cover on it until the instructions read "will support 200# of snow". Not putting that up yet. Also, check out how the snow is sticking, it's rolling around on to the bottom of the tubes

Is it just me or is Snoop's mic mixed way too quiet? I can barely hear his vocals

I was unaware that Josh Duhamel was one of us* #minnesotamentioned

There is a manufacturing/machine shop just off 61 in Minnesota City, and 100 years ago it used to be a dance hall/speakeasy. There was a TPT Cathy Wurzer special about various places on Hwy 61 a couple of decades ago that featured it...

Ten years ago I gave away all my remaining film cameras. My dad and I bought these at National Camera back in the 1980's when Mamiya decided that their foray into 35mm was ill fated, got a screaming deal. I liked them, they took great photos...

Waiting for mom's test results in the ER at St John's, and you think that wait is interminable, now imagine it with an Alzheimer's patient with zero short term memory, who asks roughly every 30 seconds when we can go home. Have said "we're just waiting for the test results" about 300 times...

I guess not all 31 psi are the same...

It's a 23x42 table

AwoooOOOOoooOOOooo Did anyone else have a 3 second "oopsie" siren about 1130?

Went hunting yesterday, bagged myself a 9' Fraser Fir... Went out to Michaelson's out by New Richmond WI, prices are good, spent 30 bucks less than last year (big place in Isanti) and they had a really nice selection of trees to cut, including a field of Canaan and Frasier firs with $50 trees

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: John Denver Prince Lollapalooza (the first one) Soul Coughing Soul Asylum

You just died. 6th pic in your gallery is what killed you. Well I guess if the auroras killed me I didn't go alone. Could be the lake I guess...

Went to Total Wine and Byerly's in Roseville on snowstorm eve and turkey day eve-eve, and was very surprised it wasn't busier. I think the stores were too, both places had a ton of staff managing registers, no wait at all to check out...

Out by white bear lake. Can see green with the eye, bit of red popping on the camera

Apparently I posted too many Aurora pics last night. Lol... @support.bsky.team

Go back outside if you went in to warm up.... East to West directly overhead...

Get outside right fucking now.

Cell phone pic from my back yard in the 55109. Gonna get the camera and head to white bear lake... Nice colors but no structure yet...

AwoooOOOOoooOOOooo (my phone has this in the dictionary, lol)

Voter number 236 at the Maplewood community center...

Saint Paul, turned into a perfect evening for a walk...

55 kids so far out here in the 55109. We had almost 80 last year, so a bit off the usual traffic, I'm sure this lovely drizzle/light rain helps a lot...

Change one letter, ruin a candy. M & A's

Smells sooooooo good with just the beef and onions, time for celery. And it could stop raining any fucking time now.

Next in the booya kettle, a whole ass regular soup kettle of onions....

I only make soup once a year. Starting now for tonight.

feels like i need to preface every bit with "i know there's a LOT going on..." so here's my minor whine for the day: my wife and my brother and I have a FB chat going all the time to talk about mom's alzheimer's issues and to also post our daily wordle scores.... (1/2)

It's 79 degrees on October 2nd and I'm on my deck cleaning the pool like it's the middle of fucking August (except it's dark at 7pm and my Xcel gas bill will look like dark January...)

Broke my wordle streak yesterday and missed the 1pm siren celebration today. Too dang busy...

The Lake Johanna Fire Department is doing their annual 9/11 flag show on 694 and Victoria in Shoreview...

Out playing bingo with the family at Jimmy's in Vadnais Heights, I apparently got the last pour of Octoberfest from the keg and was awarded this big glass boot as the prize...

AwoooOOOOoooOOOooo!!!

Next glass check:

Glass check (sorta)

Took Mom out for a drive today, stopped to see the world's largest walleye! Paul Bunyan-esque mythology... (We'll skip the depressing Alzheimer's elder care bits, too nice of a day to dwell on that...)

Watching K-Pop Demon Hunters in the pool with my granddaughter as one does...

Unfortunately there are a limited number of days to do this before the seasons change, so taking full advantage of a glorious Minnesota afternoon. In the pool with a cocktail, with a bonus Sadie pic, check out her tongue, lol...

Rainbows and TV towers on westbound 694 this morning. Was gone by the time I got to 35w...

Me and Sadie watching Star Trek out in the deck....

Out in the garage inflating the shark pool toys for the Jaws pool party tomorrow, and perhaps my brain has been internet or early Bluesky poisoned, but I'm not so sure about this new inflatable...

No cheating, last photo of your pet (if you'd like)

A photo you took that brings you inner peace
