Preferably bald.
Cat person.

Driver of large things, operator of high stuff.

I’m under no obligation to make sense to you.

I'm just a cat born in a human body who loves dragons. Nothing special.
Ordered some new flags for the garden. Not sure yet which 3 I will put up. Also includes some other designs of the same subjects. Have to see what looks best.

#Neelix has found a corner under the desk where he can display his discontent and show me how much he is ignoring me and my attempts to comfort him.

What you don’t see of your robot, that the night vision of your CCTV does. 😃

Lunch has crippled me. Not much I can do now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Coming in at 25 tons, it unfolds to 50 meters in height. 😃

A flatbed semi. (Different load.)

*Dangerous overtaking
*Driving in the 3rd lane
*Dangerous merging
*Crossing road markers
*Road endangerment
*Dangerous tailgating
*Not keeping right
*Road rage

And all that with loaded semi’s in just 2 minutes. Welcome to my daily world. 😭

Portraits for #Caturday.
It is so hard to make them look cute, specially with Tibbles who always looks pissed off on pictures. (He hates pictures. 😹)

After years of having a boring grey wall, it was about time I made the bedroom wall look a bit better.

LinkedIn offers connecting through ICQ? This very limited options menu seems extremely outdated. 🫤

(I loved ICQ back in the day. #TheGoodDaysOfTheInternet )

Unbelievable that they used flat white frames on a hard wood door. 🤬 Now I need to sand and paint the whole door! 😭

(Window sticker is on there with a bit of tape, it’s transparent when applied, but I’m waiting to hear of it is suited for HR++ glas.)

I’ve got a little mushroom forest growing in one of my plant pots. Or is a small leprechaun village?

On release day this morning, I wanted to check on the status of my pre-order of the Lego Star Trek Enterprise. The webshop was out. And when I was able to check, my pre-order was on back-order! The demand for this set is crazy, new orders have a waiting time of more than 2 months!

#Neelix : “Listen, I don’t know what that new thing is, but it is on -my- lap, so I’m just going to lay here and you can move that intruder out of the way. Or not. Whatever. 😼”

It’s a StarLabs StarLite tablet with detachable keyboard and hub, running Linux Mint. Still setting things up, but all looking good so far, well pleased. 👍🏼

It is now 28:53 on day 77 of the 0th month in the year 2077.

… Seems my world clock did not like the power outage, or is it predicting a different time keeping in the future? 😹

Bodged some ramps together to see if that works and it looks like it does. Have to figure out something more sturdy and better looking, but now I know this works. (Note that ready made solutions are stupidly expensive and new flooring will have to wait.)

Right. It’s here. It’s plugged in and installed. It’s charging. Now though, as it turns out, I need to clear every bit of floor space that ever might need to be cleaned, to let it map the house. It can save multiple maps, I might do a basic now and a full later.

Was up and having my first coffee by 7:30, on my day off, just in case the unconfirmed window guy would show up at 8 anyway. Of course he didn’t. Which means I now need to stay at home all day just in case he does come, but at a later time. Ugh.

Cat is happy though. 😻
