Truly, there are very few things that I enjoy more than sitting outside on a cool, cloudy day, with a roaring fire going in the chiminea. The smell of the wood smoke reminds me of the rendezvous that I used to attend many years ago, a long way from this desert place. I do miss it.

Would be very thankful to anyone willing to share. bsky.app/profile/dano...

Daily Doodles 120 "Veteran" Not that I really see myself as a veteran, but it was fun and nice of @kosciejkojot.bsky.social to let me draw Dano doing some swordsmithing for him^^ I need to make myself a proper set of stake-anvils... Oh! 120! Gonna make another 40 sketches post when I can!

Coyote roaming the service lot - a good omen.

Mornin', everyone! Up before the sun, as usual. Time to get some yard work done.

Buying mags for a gun I don't even own. You know what that means. 😅

Shopping around for IFAK refill kits. So many options out there!

Cloudy - easy to tell even though the sun isn't up yet. A slight chill in the air, too, but not too bad. A good morning to get some work done. ☕️

Three miles lugging an additional 25 pounds - let's go! 💪

"Doors and corners. I tell you to check your doors and corners, and you blow into the middle of the room with your dick hanging out."

On this day, I grill 10lbs of steaks. 🥩

Back yard is all trimmed and prepped for fall/winter. Got more done this morning than I had originally intended, but that's a good thing.

I'll play.

Spaghetti 🍝 and steaks 🥩 for dinner? Sounds good to me. 🍻

@retehi.bsky.social Good to see you again. 🍻

Mornin' all. ☕️ Hope your week is going well!

It's @dustyjacks.bsky.social birthday today! 🎉

Mornin' all. Time to get up, get out there, and get at it. ☕️

Nine Christmas cards just about ready to send out. 🎄 I believe that's more than last year, and I don't think I'm quite done just yet.

Yard work before 7am. Why? Because it's too cold for the bees to function, so I can trim flowering plants without risk of upsetting them. 😅

Warning: This Coyote contains flashing lights and effects, and can possibly trigger stimulus-sensitive seizures.

At the current exchange rate, $100 gets you 300 rounds of 9mm and one G19 magazine. Good to know. 😂

Since I'm workin' on Halloween, might as well get the house and backyard squared away for November. 🍂🦃

Me when someone asks when I sleep. youtu.be/ekpkeHc5vvo?...

🎶 What's got you so jumpy? Why can't you sit still? Like gasoline, you want to pump me, and leave me when you get your fill. 🎶 🤣🤘🏻🔥

Night hike, night hike. 🥾

Four weeks in, and it's still weird being wide awake overnight. 😂 On the plus side, finding plenty of time to get shit done on my nights off. I am glad that I physically/mentally adjusted to the new schedule quickly, wasn't too hard to adapt to.

Early morning grillin'. Steak and rice bowl for breakfast. 🥩🍚

🦨'd today. Not a single fish would stay on the hook. Nearly had one good to go, but it was not to be. 😭

Now that I'm primarily awake/active at night, it might be time again to start taking some trips out to the desert to see the night critters once more. And maybe invest in some sort of night vision. 🤔

7am cigar with my coffee. ☕️ Working nights is a trip.

Range day! Which one comes along? 🤔

One of my favorite military BP cartridge rifles. It has been 135 years since it was manufactured, but looks almost new. Made sometime between March and June of 1888 during the brief reign of Kaiser Friedrich III, this is an Infanterie-Gewehr 71/84, made at the Spandau arsenal. Amazing craftsmanship!

Dang it, @splatfennec.bsky.social , don't send your spiders over to my place! I don't want 'em or need 'em! 🕷️

I eat two steaks in the morning. I eat two steaks at night. I eat two steaks in the afternoon. It makes me feel alright.

Dang bat, she done gone and drank my beer again! By Faye (blue_bat_butt) on the other site.

Already grilling some steaks 🥩 this morning, it'll give the neighbors something nice to wake up to. 😄

Ready for the 1st day of Oktoberfest! 🍺 For comparison, a Maßkrug (1 liter) next to a standard beer mug (~12oz).

Purchased a proper quantity of Hofbräu Oktoberfest and unpacked the Maßkrug. Ready to kick things off this weekend! 🍺

Two days until Oktoberfest officially begins! 🍻 Which reminds me, I need to go pick up more beer! 😂

The year is 1965, and you're heading to Vietnam. Which do you want to be issued with?

Finally got around to seeing both Five Finger Death Punch and Metallica, both put on great shows. That makes...seven bands in the past year? Not bad.

I was not expecting a Detroit win tonight, but here we are. 🏈

Second play-through of Baldur's Gate 3 is going MUCH better than the first. Finding way more side content that I had managed to miss the first time around, and haven't gotten any party members killed so far. 😂

Is it weird that I have a knack for identifying late 80's / early 90's video games just by hearing their music or sound effects?

The Guild of Millers uses only the finest grain. 🌾 True Roman bread, for true Romans. 🍞

Looks like just about all of the local gas stations are back up to $4.50/gallon or higher. 🤬
