Digging in the dirt for potatoes

Baseball practice at The Chuck

A K-State cake to celebrate my new job! Thank you @talloneintheback.bsky.social and @gadgetdad.bsky.social

LilC is playing bball for Southeast this summer. Against Westside yesterday, he played at the 5 (natural position is at the 3) and was matched up sometimes against Westside's 6'8" Creighton 2027 recruit. This player couldn't drive past LilC, but nothing could be done about his fade away jumper.

LilK had a tennis tournament in Salina, KS over the weekend, so we decided to drive through Manhattan on our way back to #LNK. Here’s a pic of us visiting where my office will be in the fall: Dickens Hall at K-State! @kstate.bsky.social

Just paid $11.75 to watch LilC's club basketball game in Council Bluffs. I miss the days when I could watch him play a Y basketball game for free at a local middle school.

This is too realistic. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/my-...

Lack of color contrast between #IPL teams today! #LSG and #PK both in red and blue.

Vals and girls state tennis today to celebrate first day of summer vacation for LilK #LNK

I have seen that same green vortex around Hardin Hall since December 5. youtu.be/2BDnuDDa9e4?... #Huskers #Nebraska #UNL #LNK

Congrats to #LNK #NorthStar boys track with their state title! Overall for North Star athletics this year: 2 state titles and 2 2nd place finishes. Amazing year considering it had 0 state titles and 2 2nd place finishes prior to this year since its opening in 2003.

Colbert and the unl Department of Statistics were both cancelled in 2025. This video gives me ideas about how to spend the last few days of the Department of Statistics - youtu.be/eBKWKu2Rqxc?.... I think Hardin Hall is high enough to get the same dramatic effect! #LNK

KHAN!!!! 4 wickets so far today #GT

Birthday weekend for LilC and LilK. Today, the Enterprise D arrived for LilC.

Set new PR for stringing time today: 37 minutes. I may be ready to go pro!

LilC to save par on #16 during the #LPS golf tourney this week #NorthStar #LNK

We had ribs for dinner this evening to recognize the one-year anniversary of my surgery to have a rib removed! I have heard a few jokes about Eve since then.

Basic maintenance gets overlooked by a university after your department has been eliminated. This door leading into the department has been like this for a couple of weeks. #unl #LNK #huskers #nebraska

Since elimination of #unl departments, the amount of profanities in everyday conversations on campus has greatly increased--not just among those losing jobs but everyone. It does not bother me but just unexpected. I suppose this is a sign of how much everyone is disappointed in admin. #LNK #huskers

Easter gagh; I've heard the live version is better

The only good part of waking up early on a Saturday: The #IPL. It's breakfast at Dehli this morning.

First spear of the year in the garden

More pics of LilC playing for #NorthStar high school varsity golf with his #GigaGolf clubs; in the bag from this brand are a TRX F4 driver, Pursuit ps550 3 hybrid, TRX Slot 3W, TRX Power Slot Irons, and S2 60 degree wedge, GigaGolf.com

LilC makes a birdie at Highlands #13 during a golf invite last week #NorthStar #NSAAgolf #LNK

First match of the #IPL season! The randomized complete block (RCB) designs are playing.

An #Iowa colleague suggested the following about last night's basketball game: The impact of terminating statisticians [at UNL] is already happening. #Nebraska can no longer count to 5. #Huskers #LNK @iowahawkeyes.bsky.social SaveOurStats.com

Here's how #Hawkeyes fans can soon counter the #Huskers fans sign of "Iowa has bad corn": Nebraska has bad stats. SaveOurStats.com #LNK

Its like what a #Husker-#Hawkeye football game often is like: Nebraska loses in an unbelievable way

Reinstate the eliminated departments and you will have all #UNL faculty and students cheering the same way as the #Husker fans in OKC. #LNK #Nebraska

Still coming to the rescue when turtle does not work; batteries have been replaced

Introduced LilK this evening to my Battlestar Galactica and group testing seminar - youtu.be/66-VW3fjcRs. I judge it as a success because he watched it without also looking at his phone.

It's birthday time! @kimberlypb.bsky.social

We had a bread machine failure today

#Omaha sink hole at 67th and Pacific; another view: cdn.field59.com/OMAHA/ad457b...

First time sledding this year with LilK

LilC was at my alma mater #MillardSouth today for his basketball game. Great game - shots went in at the end of each quarter, including the game winner by Millard South with a Laettner-esque ending www.youtube.com/live/14quUlM...

The "let it melt" snow removal strategy is working for the drive way! #LNK

Up to 8" of snow so far in north central #LNK

Good #Chevy #EquinoxEV efficiency this evening; this would lead to a 400-mile range

LilK and I went to our first #Omaha #SuperNovas match this evening

Pics from half-bday celebration yesterday; we had Lithuanian Bakery chocolate torte leftover from my bday celebration 6 months ago; LilK took the 2nd pic

Print version of the AMSTAT News article "University of Nebraska Regents Vote to Eliminate Statistics Department" is available at magazine.amstat.org/wp-content/u... (see p. 10-12). This article provides more details about what happened at UNL @amstatnews.bsky.social @srvanderplas.bsky.social 1/

3,000th subscriber for my YouTube channel! Multiply this by 100 and maybe this could be my new job www.youtube.com/ChrisBilder

My kids and @kimberlypb.bsky.social aren't home for dinner this evening because they are at various activities. This means that I can make something for dinner that they think is gross. I decided to be very simple: Malt O Meal!

Old school work today: I went to the library stacks to look at a physical book.

Taking my first outdoor swings of the year

Tennis today: both teams wore white jerseys with small red logos on upper left side

The Parade of Athletes at the Olympics reminds me of #StargateSG1. Will the Goa'uld be coming out of the stargate too? I hope they have an iris!

LilC's first time running out with the varsity bball team

LilC got a jersey to play on varsity bball team for the first time! The team was then upset by 19 points and everyone had their jerseys taken away
