Just a heads-up for any potential new followers. You need to ask yourself something before following me. Do you have any content that's not NSFW? Sexy content is great but have some other actual content about yourself. If you post exclusively porn, you will be muted/blocked. That's the rule here.
11 years, 3 months, 19 days this happened in a South Lake Tahoe hotel. It was my last stop on the way home from vacationing near Death Valley. Enjoy this softie Sunday. I figure I owe this after my little trick last Friday.

Gummie up to speed.
Quick glass of wine downed.
Missing bottle of lube recovered.
The tablet charged up.
Time to get this party of one started!

Today on a very special outdoor #fcf I was doing a short hike between rainstorms when I thought this might be a good time for a picture. Added a coffee cup from Dutch Bros. for scale.

The CTO of BlueSky had this to say about changes coming in 2026. Make note of the private data mentioned. I wonder if this is what I think it is and how much more or less nudity I'll get to see here.

Good news: It's the winter solstice and daylight in the northern hemisphere will begin increase in length.
Bad news: The sun sets later in the day, but sunrise times are basically stagnate until Jan 10 at my location.
It's hell for a morning person like myself.

Last night I watched this movie on BluRay disc on the extreme insistence of a co-worker. For years he kept telling me how this was his absolute favorite movie as a kid and was relentless trying to get me and everyone else to watch it. Then he handed me the disc this week.
4 out of 5 stars.

My sister sent me a holiday package consisting of cheese, nuts, and mainly pears. I've never liked pears so I brought them into work to be picked off like sardines in a bait ball.

Freshly showered after getting back from the gym, and I have some bad news. Autumn was bad to me because I was good to myself. Now I've visually put on too much weight. I'm too scared to step on the scale to see how much I've slid.
Thankfully I've started my intermittent fasting again.

Several months ago my sister and my folks came over for a couple of nights. I gave my bedroom to my mom & dad to use but not before I removed my bottle of 'happy time' lube from the room. To this day I still don't know where I put it, and it's driving my nuts.

I'm surprised to see this trending. That's because apparently even here on BlueSky, this is generating controversy.
It's just a super hero movie people. Get over yourselves or whatever.

While not intended to be a Christmas decoration, this display was put up at work by a co-worker who's actually a talented artist. She found this shrub remains and thought it looked good enough to do something with. It's a work in progress, and I think it would have been better on the ground.

After 2 weeks I'm finally back in the gym. Good thing too because yesterday was a classic day of sloth with me eating poorly and often. Though I'm mostly over my cold, a cough or two from me still sounds awful. Also ocular migraines. Fortunately Sunday mornings rarely have more than 4-5 people in.

Back at the tire shop to get my tire pressure sensors replaced. Yeah, they were due for replaced but spending $400 on top of the cost on new tires from last week grates on my inner Scrooge McDuck. I have more than enough to cover all that though I would prefer that I didn't have to. Go figure.

$700 for a new set of tires with some rather aggressive tread that I now regret. Then yesterday I get a light on my dash for low tire pressure. Stopped twice to check and again once I got to work. All fine. Now it looks like another $400 for new TPMs. Safety ain't cheap.

I got new tires today, and I still feel like shit. 😐💩

Not to beat a dead horse here, but I feel like I'm in a perpetual hangover. Pounding head and body aches for days now. No fever. And yes, I still can't taste anything. WTF am I supposed to do for breakfast? 🐴🤧🧇
Anyway I have an appointment for a tire rotation at 11:00. Let's see how I handle this.

Today I lost all sense of taste from this head cold. Just for the fuck of it, I pulled out a COVID-19 home test kit that quickly came up negative. But that kit expired two months ago. Guess I'll never know for sure.
I predict another bad night of sleep, so I'm drinking a glass of dark purple juice

Oh boy. My suspicion yesterday was correct. I've come down with something. Cold or flu or both. In any case I feel less than optimal. I thank my boss who came in this week with a cold he brought with him from his trip to Argentina. It's gonna be a long day. 3½ hour drive and then family.

All shaved, trimmed up, freshly showered and ready for tomorrow. Given all that along with three glasses of wine, I'm feeling confident.
Until I wake up tomorrow at zero dark fucking thirty again.
