Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.18)

It looks like my work trips to St Louis are going to continue for the foreseeable future, so I guess I'll need to work out some sort of fun routine there. Maybe see if there are any good music or collectible shops int he area down there for when I am down that way. Otherwise it's been a pretty standard issue week. Nothing much special happening, just the usual nonsense. Music Last Sunday was another MCCD Free concert. This one was Broken Brogue, an Irish group doing Irish music. Well, probably Irish. The lead guy said he was Irish and…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.11)

Maybe one day I will do real blog posts again. I mean, technically this is probably closer to "real blogging" than silly reviews or whatever. I actually have been feeling… more into the idea again lately, I guess. Technically the Fourth of July happened after last post, I went down to the bridge and watched the city fireworks as we often do. No fun travel food this week. I just got QDOBA and another, different Crazy Bowl dish. I did look up and found a ramen place near the office down there, but I've been working an hour earlier than…

Happy 4th of July… I guess. It's the big "250th Anniversary" but it really doesn't feel like anything here is worth celebrating. I don't have plans. I might go watch fireworks later on the bridge around the corner. It's never crowded and it's got a nice view over the lake. I tried going tot he Zoo and Children's Museum area last year but it was more crowded and the view was not great because of trees and light posts and people. I want to throw out a bit of a send off. Almost two years ago exactly, I bought this…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.06.27)

It's been an eventful few weeks. Mostly because of new work activities traveling some. Funny story, without too much detail. A coworker retired, so I am covering a second location. I met with my coworker before he left, for a refresher on where things were at the site. I got there a week later, without him, and had the dumbest problem. I could not figure out how to turn on the lights. In my normal location, everything is motion activated, at this location it's not. And when I met with him, the lights were on, so I didn't even think…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.06.13)

Oh look, slacka lackin again. It's not even been that boring, just kind of uneventful. I've also had this vague annoaynce at the idea of AI slurping up all my dumb blog posts and using that data to make more dumb blog posts for others. Maybe I should stop trying to fix my typos to screw with it. Oh geeze, it's been 3 weeks, I thought it was just two. I've got a new temporary work thing going on which should liven things up on the work front. Basically, i get to cover another office once every week or two,…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.05.23)

Its been another mostly slow boring week. Summers coming soon though, which means the occasional part concert or other activities in the community at least. Next week is the first game for the new local baseball team. I am not super into baseball, but I kind of want to go to the first game. Maybe more will happen. Video Games I have almoat finished the Droid-dex in Fortnite's Droid Tycoon game. I just need a Raindbow R7. If I want to "max out" my base I need like a dozen of them. The R7 is the top slot droid for…

In boring normal life doings, the dumb Rider lawn mower is still acting iffy, despite the oil/oil filter change, despite the new battery. I've ordered a carburetor/solenoid kit, so hopefully that fixes it. The thing is like ten years old, and parts do wear out. I've also got some spouts from the seeds in the garden a bit, I think. I had some long planters and put seeds for green onions and broccoli, Video Games My first Forza Horizon game was FH4, which is still the best one I'd say. After playing the shit out of FH4, I went on…
