June 27, 2023. The day we brought her home from the hospital after a 3 day stay. She couldn’t breathe or walk. We thought we’d lose her. They worked a miracle and got her back home. That’s our daughter hugging her while we all cried tears of joy. This has been pinned over there since that day 🐾❤️
Watching The Final Reckoning tonight. I’ve been a big fan of Cruise since Top Gun. His body of work is pretty amazing, so it’s a bummer knowing this is his last Mission Impossible.

Driving through the college campus this morning on my way back from the store and saw this guy (or gal, I don’t know 🤷♂️) slowly walking along. He (or she) usually hangs out by one of the ponds. But I guess Saturday is take a stroll day.

This stuff is like water in our house. I usually buy it by the case at Costco. Haven’t tried a flavor yet that I don’t like, and that’s going back to my childhood.

Well, yeah, Mill Valley. This is what happens during a King Tide when the bulk of your infrastructure is built at or below sea level 🤷♂️

Now my wife is decorating the inside of the house. Pro tip (I learned this many years ago): to get out of helping your spouse decorate for the holidays, make stupid suggestions. After the 3rd or 4th said stupid suggestion, you will be dismissed to continue watching football 🤷♂️

4 smoked pork shanks, 1 lb of red beans, 4 whole jalapeños & 2 Serranos (stems removed), coarse ground black pepper, Lawry’s garlic salt & cumin. The crock pot did the rest overnight.

84 years +1 day ago grandpa Harvey climbed into his rack on his ship, the USS St. Louis in Pearl Harbor (aka The Lucky Lou) not knowing that tomorrow, 12/7/41, all hell would break loose. He died when I was 3, but I know he never spoke of that day until 2 days before he died ❤️⚓️

We went through seas MUCH rougher than this. To me this says I’m going to sleep like a baby as long as the conn keeps that bow pointed into the swells and out of the trough.

Tomorrow marks the 126th annual matchup. I didn’t go to Annapolis but learned over the years that that doesn’t matter. It’s an all hands on deck day.
Go Navy!

At first we thought she was watching Pluribus with us, but that “fire” seems to sure have her attention. She just lays there staring at it.

I loved him in The Last Emperor, and especially in Man in The High Castle. He had a screen presence that was pure artistry. And yet it seemingly came to him naturally.
RIP ❤️

This is Carl the minion. I leave him up 24/7. Today for the umpteenth time (that I’ve seen) a woman was pushing a stroller across the street, took a left to come over to our house so her little boy could see Carl. Lots of big smiles & giggles ❤️

Pilar started as a lowkey ice cream maker. Basically a cult following (her ice cream is insanely good)….and then Thomas Keller got his hands on a bunch of her different flavors and very publicly proclaimed it’s the greatest ice cream he’s ever had. Then it just took off!

From our Coastie Officer neighbor, Ben. There’s that old saying that you can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your neighbors. So you just hope for the best. We hit the lottery with them ⚓️❤️

I have a hat with this emblem on it. Once in a while I’ll wear it in public and someone will inevitably ask what is that, it looks military…and special. I just reply with “Yes, it is.” 😉
