Picking all of this up seemed like a good idea at first. Now that I have them. I'm not sure what to do with 168 bottles of mead and 500 or so cans of beer.

The last time I had this many full cans. I dumped them in the driveway and crushed them with the truck.

Was out exploring yesterday and found a Western Electric rotary phone in an abandoned building. It would have been nice if someone hadn't cut the cord off.

I figured out that Overnight Shipping originally occupied the building I've been exploring. It was built in the 1950s.

Out exploring an abandoned building and need a little help. Does anyone have any ideas as to the original purpose of the room with the pink and black tiles? A lot of the original building was changed by the previous tenants. I believe that the tile is original though.

So many tart pie cherries but don't have a tall enough ladder to pick them.

Baked a strawberry pie. Well... sort of. The crust was baked but the filling wasn't. Hmm... Made a strawberry pie?

Was pulling up some English Ivy and came across a small eastern kingsnake.

I've seen a leucistic robin in my yard on several occasions. I'd like to get a photo of it but I don't know how feasible that will be though.

I guess it wasn't watching where it was going.

Pumpkin pecan cookie dough. It'll chill overnight and will be baked at some point tomorrow.

Destructive learning. A few years ago, I found several of these Lucas Aerospace voltage regulators in the woods.

I haven't had any success in determining exactly what they might have gone on. Based on other items that were in the area. It was most likely some type of aircraft.

Finished a small component replacement and soldering job. Three diodes and two SCRs were replaced on this DC motor speed control.

Was listening to the TV while baking and heard, "These individuals were caught on the parking deck security cameras breaking into over a dozen cars. We are asking for the public's help in identifying them." I glance up and they are blurred out.

Umm... Okay.

I listened to the feedback that I got from some reduced sugar marmalade that I recently shared. The reduced sugar version has 600 grams of sugar. This is a standard batch and has 1,600 grams of sugar.

Dug out my two 20# CO2 tanks from their accidental hiding spot in the blackberries. Now, I need to see if I can trade them in and get two 60 cubic foot argon tanks instead.
