Trump has bombed seven countries in the first year of this term. “Donald the Dove“ my ass. 💣

There are no bigger babies than an adult man with the common cold. 🤧 Yes, it’s me. I’m the big baby.

After this latest hearing, will AG Pam Bondi ever be hirable in any legitimate law firm? She is not our AG, she's Trumps lackey, doing his bidding.

Richard Nixon’s Attorney General was convicted and sentenced to 19 months in prison. I suggest nominating AG Pam Bondi for the same consideration.

Bad Bunny represents the best of us. 🎉🏈

Trashy folks gonna trash.

Exactly!

Congratulations dad, your team won! 🏈 we love you and miss you and saved you a seat at the sports bar.

Unhinged, asinine, ignorant and delusional.

As expected, unhinged and loony as fuck.

Bullies only respond to pain. If our trading partners can harm him enough economically, he will stop because TACO.

I for one, will not be watching the documentary, “Melanoma“. I can walk out my front door and see two street dogs sniffing butts and will be more entertained than that piece of trash.

Good. Cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of Lemon.

I spent the afternoon on the phone with my investment firm. There is something incredibly comforting, knowing that my family will be taken care of after I am gone.

Awesome rain storm, which is good unfortunately this brings an awesome thunderstorm which the fur kids find to be bad. I’ve got a puppy pile in the bedroom and we’re going to have a quiet inside day today.⛈️

My handsome gentleman, Señor Lucas, died last night. Today we took him to the cemetery where we laid Mr. Lucas to rest next to Nubia’s mom and dad. I’m gutted. 😢

SNL fake music video, "I Miss My Ex's Dad" and then I blew coffee out my nose. Ya just gotta give this a spin. 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYmS...

Small military base, west coast Washington PNW. We were asked/ordered to assemble a band. We called ourselves, "11 days and counting," because that's the amount of time we had to practice. This is the song we were most proud of. Fiddlers Green, by The Tragically Hip. youtu.be/BYmhzoMfmI8?...

Last night, my wife was sleeping and I was still awake, but I wanted her to wake up happy the next morning. So this is the text that I sent her: “Good morning love, I just wanted you to wake up to a message, reminding you that I love you. Have a great day amor. 🧡” She woke up, and was happy.

It’s finally happened. I’m wearing pants, a jacket and *gasp! shoes. 🥶🥶🥶 These things are generally not required in Sonora, but it was cold today.

@shorepatrol.bsky.social Brother. Shore Patrol in Singapore was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I was older, I was wiser, and I was unprepared for anything Singapore. I'm a storyteller but do not think I have ever told that story. I may never. Dubai? Sure. Eritrea? Yes. Singapore? Nope.

I want to celebrate a little milestone. Today I went to the convenience store and while there a local man struck up a conversation with me. My Spanish is terrible, so I was proud to be able to have a casual conversation with a man in Spanish. 🇲🇽🇺🇸 My dude. 🤙

Sister-in-law, Karla and wife Nubia are both sick. We’ve all had our Flu and Covid vacunations, but that was not enough. All I can do now is just lay next to my wife and rub her butt. So far, I’m feeling pretty darn good. They are not, which is terrible, because this is where the family gathers.

Please Bluesky! Please give me an edit my post button! I wrote this whole long list of how I prepared my dinner and then I forgot to include a picture. I just wanted to add a picture to the original post, please! Sheesh!

Yes, of course I needed one more ham. Rubbed with mustard as a binder and then covered with Texas style barbecue rub and black pepper. In the pan, it roasted with mandarin oranges and apple juice. To finish it off, I covered with honey, and then allowed that to caramelize in the oven. Thoughts?

Shit. First gunfire of the year and my ferocious Chihuahua has already climbed on top of my head. This warrior is not happy with gunfire.

Feliz Año Nuevo de Sonora, Mexico! 🧨🇲🇽

It just hit me. This is New Year’s Eve in Mexico, so I can expect to have the entire family here partying like rock stars until about 2 AM. It is very likely that I will be assigned to keeping the dogs in the bedroom, safe from fireworks. 🧨

In the kitchen, I am a bit of a mad scientist. I try new things I experiment and I go off on my own weird tangent. This time I followed a fairly simple recipe of butter salt, sugar, and pecans. I tossed it in the oven for less time than I thought I would need and this is what I discovered. Fail.

1/2 I have used, carried and traveled with a MacBook Air through many countries and for many years. Last week I upgraded to the MacBook Air most recent version. It’s been six years since I’ve had a new upgraded computer, and I have to say this one is fantastic! It’s simply does everything better. ⬇️

Credit card got blocked, debit card got blocked, phone banking app blocked. I know my bank is solid on security, but come on man! One phone call and 30 minutes of my time it’s all resolved, but arguably, a pain in the butt. Next time, I’m just going to call them and let them know, “IM TRAVELING!!”

We traveled north from Mexico to Arizona and returned over the course of four days. In total, we spent 18 hours sitting in that car to make that trip. My back is wrecked, so next time we will fly.

I’ve seen many YouTube videos with people barbecuing and smoking Texas style brisket and brisket burnt ends. I’ve never tried that BBQ and I desperately want to. We just found on Google two smokehouse barbecue restaurants in the city where we live. Guess where we’re going next?! 🍖🍗

We definitely over ordered. We both ordered a medium rare ribeye smothered with mushrooms and grilled onions with a shrimp, skewer, baked potatoes, and a green bean side. We can’t eat that much food and have been eating leftovers for days. Not that I’m complaining, leftover ribeye is still ribeye!

1/2 The wife and I decided we were not going to exchange Christmas gifts this year. Instead, we chose to go to Costco together, whereas I would buy a new computer for me and a new iPad for her. This was all very exciting until the cashier told me my card had been blocked due to security reasons. ⬇️

1/2 After I retired, I spent several years bouncing around Asia and really grew to love the flavors of Asia. Now I live in Sonora Mexico and we don’t have a large Asian population and it’s rare for me to find the spices that I associate with Asian food. Continued..1/2

I’m American and had a few guns. Had, because I have a different life now. On Saturday I took them to a gun store in AZ and sold them. I sold them because we live in Mexico and gun possession for someone like me can earn a 5-year prison sentence. I do not want a roommate named “Mexican Bubba“.

I’m moderately educated. I retired from DHS, and graduated Magna Cum Laude in Homeland Security. My wife however, earned her degree in criminology and worked as a victims rights advocate. After that, she went on to earn her masters in psychology. I married way, way up.

Nubia and I traveled to the US to run some errands. On my shopping list I had smoked paprika listed as an item. She found this and I had an OMG moment. I’m sprinkling this over everything.

I took Nubia to a Texas roadhouse restaurant for the first time and blew her mind. Appetizers, ribeye, with mushrooms and onions, side of butter garlic grilled shrimp, baked potato, and green beans. Accompanied by one of their super margaritas. We did not overeat, and we have leftovers for days.

So true..

Christmas. If there is cooking going on, Braulia is not far away.

We spent the last three days with her family in Mexico, now we’re traveling north to spend the next three days with my mom in America. At the end of this, no more travels, please. I love them all, but good grief!

2 AM and the Mexican family is still partying hard. I am not a partier, so I am reclining in the bedroom with the Doggo’s.

In the pacific isles, it’s called, “island time“. In Saudi Arabia, it’s called, “Inshallah“. Here in Mexico, it’s called, “Mexican time.“ so when she tells me dinner will be ready at seven, I know that that’s a flexible number all the way up until midnight. Don’t fight it, just roll with it. 🤙

True story, yet strange. The wife and traveled to a fishing village to spend the night for no other reason then to have an adventure. As we wandered down the beach for a stroll, we were escorted by three stray village dogs. When other dogs tried to approach, they were chased off by our escorts. 1/2

I spent a couple of days with some pork knuckles to make a soup stock, and then after I was done with the bones, we put them into a bucket and put them out on the sidewalk. That day, we made several neighborhood dogs very happy. Here, showing respect and love for the strays reflects well upon us.

Life always gets away from us, we always plan to do more than we physically have the time to accomplish. We did not make meatloaf, however, I spent two days reducing our bone broth and today I added the vegetables to make a soup stock. We often have plans to do seven things yet can rarely do two.

This woman’s spine! Well done, ma’am. 🫡
