Puzzle Solved

12/29/2020

One of my goals before the New Year was to solve the Rubix Cube - and after watching a video explaining how to solve it and a few notes I managed to get all the sides solved.

Now to work on getting a smoother solve and memorizing the algorithms (what a great word!).

Cosmic Pickle

12/29/2020

My youngest son and I were driving to pick up carry out from one of our favorite BBQ places in town - Rudy’s BBQ (fun fact: I used to work at Rudy’s for a spell after college) But, as we were driving down the highway I saw this big green pickle (or cucumber?) looking thing flying down the highway. And just as it passed, I caught the name painted on the side of it ... the “Cosmic Pickle.” I thought it was pretty cool because it’s not everyday you get to see a cosmic pickle on the road. And the BBQ was amazing too.

Mixie Update

12/3/2020

So it’s been a few days since we have gotten Mixie.

Good news is she is sleeping well through the nights - we are letting her stay in a kennel thing because it’s getting really cold at night.

Bummer thing is that she is definitely in the “puppy needs to chew on everything” phase. I have learned it’s normal for her to just want to interact with the world by chewing on it - my ankles and hands included. So we’re working on that one.

Overall, she’s such a sweet puppy and we are having a lot of fun with her.
