Summer activities: pool, beach, amusement parks, ballgames, and hiding from the heat in the man cavern.




Office renovation, faucet repair, and some odds and ends.




Holiday stuff at home and up the coast.




Xmas stuff and a Cybertruck review.




A few photos from the holidays: Safari West, cozy fires, and a Boneys sess.




A few short trips and wondering why something isn't a thing.




Christmas travel.




A family-friendly winery, a ballgame, and a weekend trip.




Construction begins on the veranda, the market dips while China cracks down on crypto, meme stonks, and some video games.




I check out Google search console, discuss graphics in static site generation, and talk SEO when I really don't care about SEO. Plus some investing, video games, and foot talk.




Danielle arrives. And some other stuff while nevously awaiting delivery.




Star Wars: Squadrons and covered calls 101.




A Maui trip during humpback season.




Christmas with a weim and a golden.




Installing a tankless water heater and a few board games.




Horizontal fencing installation, a DC trip, and Battleborn.




Wedding.




Diving Kauai.




The big island at 14,000 feet above sea level and 60 feet below.




An office and OS reorg, sand and snow for the doggo.




KO turns 40, Dad turns 60 in Hawaii, Lee and Carly get married.




Sweating pipe for the master bathroom.




Kafka drives a Bobcat and gets a bunch of new rawhides.




We left off with our heroes needing to remove some thin set. This called for a terrazo grinder, readily available from Sunbelt and not Clairemont Equipment. While I slaved away at a keyboard, dad and Jon took care of the downstairs concrete. Not to worry, I partook after they headed back to the Bay.




I had quite a few visitors this weekend. The main project - other than good times - was resupporting the deck.




Some motorcycling, diving, and golfing on Maui




San Diego was too cold so I flew north. Virgin is a pretty sweet airline. I played Doom all the way up, no credit card required. On the subject of video games I'm considering this one for the chilly January nights.




So the ol' 1.6 Athlon setup finally choked. Hard to say what it was, I've failed to diagnose the problem hardware having independently swapped everything out. I'll revisit when I'm setting the box up as a terminal in the garage.




The 'rents came down this weekend. Mom bought me the taxadermed animal I wanted so badly.




The first round of tile went in to the downstairs shower. China multicolor slate.




Progress. I picked up the centerpiece for the media room. Furnishings include a futon and Justin's chair. The game systems are there, though tomorrow I have to call Microsoft to take the xbox back a second time. And the tv speakers were atrocious enough I immediately set up audio system.




A door.




So a little while ago the Morelos Era came to an end. It was an lengthy, sickly death with people coming and going in the closing weeks - not befit of the three years of history within the walls. Everyone's parted ways for greater commitments, girls mostly, so I guess it's time to grow up. No more California burritos and daily house memes.
