    Scenes From The Attic

    Woke up on 12/3 and found it chilly in the house. Quick inspection showed the upstairs thermostat was dead. Chased the idea of the thermostat being dead for a while, but proved myself wrong there. That’d be much too easy. If the device was fine, I deduced there was no power to it (upstairs). Why?…

  • Space, again.

    Space, again.

    That “night site” mode is really incredible, coming from an amateur photog. Every clear is a temptation for more star pics.

  • A drip

    A drip

    This is like a real world Rorschach test. If you see this in your driveway, most people don’t see .. anything. I see it though. Its a drip. A leak. Car juice! Later we learned it was either a oil cooler and/or radiator leak. I think radiator based on the placement under the vehicle. Anyway,…

  • The View

    The View

    Top of the Prudential Tower is now a very cool commercialized viewing deck over the city. We planned our visit around sunset, which gave some nice light and effects.

  • Day After Thanksgiving

    Day After Thanksgiving

    Coffee. Coffee in a killer mug (thanks Alexis), to boot. That morning ritual forever will be the most important thing after a holiday, I think. Followed by a huge turkey sandwich. I somehow did not take a photo of the sandwich that inevitably was made. Oops. In other news, later that evening, Winter came knocking..

  • Birthday Turkey

    Birthday Turkey

    Born on Black Friday, cursed with revolving Thanksgiving Birthdays! Well not a curse, just less likely to have a birthday burrito. ABOVE, a gift from the dog – not in a green bag. Peanut butter banana treat from TJoes – high end stuff! Below – two turkey hats are better than one!

  • Tale of Two Turkeys

    Tale of Two Turkeys

    Thanksgiving prep! 11/27 a day of pain for many. This year, a smoked turkey breast wrapped in bacon and a fairly classic bird – dry brined overnight:

  • Got Frost?

    Got Frost?

    Late November, Winter is arriving, as I post this in early March, where Spring is making itself known. Also with the frost, I think this was the grill cover. Not sure now..

  • Space. Wow.

    Space. Wow.

    A clear night, and camera better than my eyes, really opens up the sky..

  • 3.5

    3.5

    Imara never puts full weight on that back left foot. It is assumed, since it was broken as a puppy, its a little shorter than the other leg. Or, just not as flexible, as she kind of swings it forward instead of a graceful step. Either way, its one of many quirks on this odd…

  • Turkey Tail

    Turkey Tail

    Spotted on a walk around the block. Wild looking fungus.. some Google Lens searches seem to land it as “Turkey Tail”. I guess if you imagine 50 turkeys stacked up, but only their tails.. thats what you get. Here’s an AI rendering, melding the two ideas.. sort of.

  • Different Tastes

    Different Tastes

    Only one of these two is very excited about the Nintendo that Willy is holding.
