Nelson's basically a Jedi now.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog. He just woke up and would like to politely ask if it might be OK to get in the people bed, please.

Baller.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog. We did a big walk tonight, covered some new ground.

Anyway here's a picture of my mom. Happy Mother's Day all!

Anyway here's a picture of my dog last night:

Nelson hopes that your Saturday is going as well as his:

Quit staring at my dog when he's eating, it makes him uncomfortable.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog planning the day ahead. It's a beautiful morning and he hopes you have a beautiful day.

Sweet dreams, sweet dog. We'll play some more this afternoon.

Please share widely So this is my birthday month and I am asking folks to support a favorite nonprofit organization - if you are in the Seattle/Shoreline area, they are having a fundraiser yard sale on May 16 or you can donate directly here: seattlevet.org #homelessness #pets #veterinarycare

Anyway here's a picture of my dog. He got over an hour of snuggles and scritchies in the people bed this morning, but now he's ready for some action.

Happy International Worker's Day! Your boss called and told me to tell you that you should take the day off to celebrate.

Using a Vaporub nasal inhaler... recreationally.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog meeting with his advisors:

Hide your phone quick! Your boss is coming!!!

Anyway here's a picture of my dog:

April snow showers bring May snow flowers.

Anyway here's that picture of my dog down by the river earlier this evening just before the clouds rolled in.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog taking his evening scritches. We recently worked out this new position and it really helps both of us make the most of our buddy-time.

Nelson did 8 km in walkies yesterday (his personal best) and is now soliciting high-fives from his frens.

Hey folks! Scout is doing much better but there is still a long road ahead, if you can help/share/donate we greatly appreciate it!! gofund.me/019c40c9a

Anyway here's a couple pictures of my dog. One where he's getting belly scritches, and one the very second he stopped getting belly scritches.

I want a dog ranch. We'll take some stress off local shelters. One side will be 10-20 rescued elder dogs that just get to live out their best lives. The other side will be 10-20 dogs that will be saved from destruction, available for adoption. In the middle we'll worry about how to fund this.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog. He advises you to stay in bed today.

Get in the fume hood losers, we're Makering.

I know we gave you the Canada Arm last time, but with all the tariffs right now the most we can give you is the Canada Finger.

Have you ever seen Bill Kristol and Billy Crystal at the same place at the same time?

Nelson's favorite part of "Raising Arizona" is when the dogs are chasing Hi in the supermarket. Nelson wants to do that someday.

Nelson's on watch, keeping us safe from neighborhood riff-raff such as: Kitties Bunnies Other dogs People with hoods on People on skateboards Mothers pushing strollers Trash blowing in the wind Etc.

Pouring hot water into a maple syrup bottle to get the last of it like it's shampoo.

I took EPL's "3D Printing 101" certification online this evening. It's just the basics of how to use the library's printers, but it's also a good intro to using slicer software and it's free! 🙌

Every time I've been to EPL libraries the first Librarian I've spoken to has instantly resolved whatever I'm trying to do. It's incredible. I defy you to get better service and value anywhere.

I'm glad Edmonton is getting more affordable housing. And I don't have any better ideas for that than enriching property developers for the benefit of property management companies. But the in-fill on my block is making my life a pain in the ass, and the area around my house disgusting.

"Lodestar" is actually a pretty cool word. I'm reclaiming it. It's the peoples' word now, feel free to use it where applicable.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog. He's skipping church today.

Saturdays are for sandwiches. I got into Bahn Mi Diddy early and the bread was still warm!

Saturday morning squad goals.

A young man who was also a customer at the dollar store this afternoon approached me loudly saying "excuse me, excuse me..." When I acknowledged him he loudly wished me a happy Easter weekend, then told me I look like every generic dad in 80s movies. Not even mad. 😎

When I was dying last weekend I tossed this hoodie into the vat as well. It was originally acid green like the lining but over the years I've: - dyed it black - bleached an octopus design onto it - and now dyed it dark blue It's cheap and beat up, but it keeps getting revived.

Tom Cullen is missing his moment right now.

I'm presently on track to personally achieve the annual cost savings goal set for my entire team. 🎉

Sometimes Nelson gets up early at like 5 or 6 and sits by my bed and quietly sighs and whines. So I have to get up to see what he needs (knowing damn well exactly what he really wants) and he immediately takes my spot in bed. 😆

Anyway here's a picture of my dog. I'd have posted it sooner, but I had to go play with my dog.

Before & After I got this red Sherpa Trucker jacket a couple years ago because I like unusual colored Levi's denim. But I soon realized it was a little too North Pole for me to wear outside of December. So I dyed the shit out of it and now it's custom AF. 🤩

Looks like low-key witchcraft in my basement this afternoon:

Anyway it's time for a mid-morning nap.

I love music to the extent that I feel compelled to share it with others. So I'm sharing some music I like. Thanks for indulging me.
