Alright, y’all… Came through it like a boss. Sore as heck, but I’m feeling okay. If all goes well, home Friday afternoon. For those wondering, got a quadruple bypass. ❤️‍🩹 But I’ve got a new lease on life.

Alright, y’all. Tomorrow’s photo challenge has been queued. It’s time for this dude to go offline and head outside to be thankful for a beautiful day and the many blessing I have. I’ll be back in a couple of weeks. ✌🏻❤️

I just brewed a cup of coffee without putting my mug under the filter. Nice. Clearly, I’m a little distracted today…

I’ve begun cross-posting to my original Mastodon.social account again. If you want to connect over there, give a follow. Yeah, I just couldn’t stay away from Mastodon…
