Another Asian market food review. I was excited for this one since Sinigang is my favorite Filipino dish. Supposed to taste like tamarind, but it didn’t. I tried to like it. I’d eat it on a cold day if that’s all that was in the pantry. Rating 3 out of 20.

I’m not any more canned meat reviews for a while because I gained 5 pounds, but I saw these at the Asian market yesterday & thought I’d give them a try. I can’t describe the flavor, a little , spices but didn’t take like pepperoni pizza. Rating: 3 out of 10.

Last weekend I gave my wife more reason to think my brain isn’t working like it should. When I got to my second march last Saturday, I couldn’t find my water bottle. I thought maybe I left it at home. I never found, but my wife noticed it at the bottom of my windshield as we were driving on Sunday.

Not surprised at all. JD and Pete are idiots. www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-267...

What’s a protest without soon Woodie Guthrie ?

More from the hellscape war zone.

Great turn out, people of all ages. I went two current marches in different towns.

Mykie is working on her ground game.

I saw this grave when I visited my dad last. Imagine being born in Ireland then coming to America, then shipping off to war in Europe in your 20’s. Don’t say immigrants don’t contribute.

You’re never too old to be dumb. Getting hurt doing things that you used to do all the time.

@pandamom.bsky.social as much as I like the sense of rebellion this ranks right up there with Victorian Era hygiene. That’s a lot of germy bike seats.

This should make all my red neck friends back in the gem state happy. I don’t know why we’d let Qatar have part of an Air Force base. www.instagram.com/reel/DPogZhj...

I enjoyed watching this game. The Trump curse continues & Canadian sports teams stick it to him.

This is so me. Then Saturday rolls around and I get pissed when I find out we’re meeting friends somewhere www.instagram.com/reel/DPEe7Hq...

Son of a bitch! Can’t we just limit my holiday angst to one month?

In the latest installment of the canned meat reviews, Pinoy Select was paired up with a before and mushroom omelette. It had similar composition to the Pure Food brand, but it was saltier and had less flavor. It also didn’t fill up the can like Spam or Pure Foods. I can only give it a 6.5 rating.

I’d like to have this.

I missed my true calling. I told my wife I might move to Japan for this to be my retirement job. I’d make a great passenger pusher youtube.com/shorts/rJyuh...

It took a lot of cross fire casualties to figure it out probably

Sadly, I’m burdened with a good conscience. Today we went shopping at REI then to lunch. I was looking at my REI receipt at lunch & noticed they didn’t charge me for the small YETI cooler I bought. As much as I would’ve liked a free cooler, I just couldn’t, so I walked back and paid for it.

SQUIRRELS ARE BAD ASS. There’s a pair of Cooper’s Hawks marauding this morning. One landed in my hedge about 5’ off the ground. Out of no where a tree squirrel comes running and launches himself at the hawk, scaring it off.

This week we did the side by side comparison between SPAM and the Pure Foods brand luncheon meat. We ate them with garlic fried rice. The Pure Foods was less salty, was a slightly rougher texture than SPAM. Flavor was pretty food. We had it this morning with over easy eggs and rice.

Beach baby Mykie.

Against my wife’s wishes, I decided we are having a taste comparison between Spam & alternatives.

My lime harvest is disappointing this year but what’s there are good. I mainly grow them for Mexican beer season

This kid is just playing is at this point.

Dimples!

A whole bunch of wild boar. I’ve spotted them in this pasture several times.

It was common to find dead bees on the sidewalks and drive ways in the past, but I have 3 bird baths, and the bees use them a lot. We don’t find many dead bees anymore. Help the bees survive the summer.

There’s always a couple in every large crowd. There was also a merch booth. My brother tried goading me into interaction at the merch booth, but I was too tired.

Hell Cat, Zero, Spitfire, Mustang

Close call with that wing tip.

Went to the air show last weekend. I always enjoy seeing these legendary planes in the air.

Baby Mykie wants me let me know that she’s still adorable.

@mountainash.bsky.social I stumbled across a new use for mushrooms. Grow yourself a boat. www.instagram.com/p/DNG572sBIq...

This fire has burned 4856 acres since this morning. Unreal.

It’s not all birds in the backyard. Mr. Garter Snake had his eye on a lizard. He didn’t get it.

Roar! Girl power!
