Friday marked 5 years of sobriety from alcohol for me, which was nice. Then on Saturday I went to my city's pride parade. I asked a friend to come with me, and another friend if they wanted to play a round of disc golf afterwards, but both cancelled. This usually means I wallow in self-pity, but instead I got geared up in my gayest outfit, and enjoyed the festival anyway! it was like 100 degrees, but I was proud to see so many happy people having a great time in one of the most welcoming, accepting environments ever.

CONGRATS!

I have been trying since January to get a teaching job in Portland (I live in Dallas) for the next academic year, and this week I was offered positions by two different school districts. This weekend, I have been working out which job to go with, I think I'mma go with the one that pays a little more, might be able to offer funds to offset relocation costs, and has less trafficky access to downtown and Vancouver (I have friends in North Portland and Vancouver.
So yeah...got that figured out; tomorrow I'll be looking for an apartment, taking my kids to Terry Black's for some world-class barbecue before Texas is forever in my rear-view mirror, doing some packing, and playing some THPS 1+2.
-
Congrats! Going from Texas to Portland, think about transit going into it. In the right mindset for less commute, but play your cards right and maybe you won't even have to drive to work!

I made the equivalent of 1 week wage in like two hours today.. money can't buy happiness but I feel good about it anyway.
-
That sounds really nice! May I ask what you did?

Our local city went from a couple of hobbiest to around 20 people getting into it. It's like a pager lol. But it does have a phone app as well as a web one.

It’s a close family-friend’s birthday. We’re going to visit a local Oddities Expo event tomorrow, so that should be a fun little adventure.

I love rainstorms and got a doozy yesterday, that was pleasant

cooked fluffy rice with no burnt ends!

Helping the in-law hang some lights in their new place.

Got a session of Pathfinder in with my group who seems plagued by the scheduling monster. Always glad to get a session in when we can.
-
Swimming! The summer heat is here (it was 98F/36C today) and the neighborhood pool is open, so there is no better place to be in the afternoons.
-
Did you come up with your username while you were jumping in the pool? :)
-
Yeah. I love water!
-
-
-
Water park!

-
A few rounds of discgolf!

I redesigned a mechanism for an automata I've been working on for over a year for the fourth time, and now it's like half the size and way more reliable then the previous prototype.
-
Redoing the spark plug wires on my old truck and pulled off the valve covers and cleaned the rust off and painted them.
They’re looking real pretty now. Excited to get everything put all back together.
-
Nearly finished with some gift art!
-
I finally saw beardyman live yesterday! It was an absolute blast.
-
I got a good deal on a projector that I used to set up a home theater in the basement complete with ambient lighting, couches, and even a mini fridge. Now, I'm just waiting for the weekday to start so I can go to the store to pick up the cords I need for the sound system. Been playing my PS5 on it and it looks amazing!
-
I've been celebrating the Midsummer Day with my family. Here in Finland, the whole country basically closes down for the weekend and almost everyone heads to the countryside. Fire officials had banned bonfires this year, so no 'kokko'. Lots of good food and even greater company, plenty of swimming and enjoying the sauna!
-
My son caught his first fish! A 3 inch bluegill, we have an incredibly adorable photo!
Also, to quote another poster in this thread...
And thank you for the question! I include this opportunity to share my joy as a good thing that is going on with my weekend.

Me? Just livin' large boy, livin' so large.

Finally got web workers to work in WASM
-
Got a new pipe in the mail and got some new tobacco coming in soon, so I'm excited to enjoy that at the park later while reading a book and I am considering ordering my first block meerschaum soon.
-
More enjoyable than vapes imo.
-
I enjoy them both. I have some zero nicotine vapes that I use from time to time, but I also enjoy my aromatics.

I'll tell you when any happen.
