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…

Since we’re on the topic of Punk, I think I’m going to start a new band once I’m recovered. I miss playing music to a live crowd, and I have a feeling my creative priorities will have a shift over the next few months. This one is filed away for later action…
