Photo-A-Day #02769 Another weekend, another realization that things are not at all better with time. For my companies' 57th year in business they gave employees an ice cream social. They did not forget about the night folks. There was ice cream for everyone ... last weekend. So this weekend when I came in I found a half gallon of rubbery, frost burned ice cream. Gross. And in my Facebook memories there was a photo of the very last company picnic from four years ago.

Photo-A-Day #02768 Finally Wheeljack is getting his own story. They've got Wheeljack by himself rebuilding what will ultimately be Autobot City in Chicago in the current storyline. He's holed up by himself in this big location. Or is someone or other someone's there with him. He's known as the mad scientist of the Autobots and in this issue he meets a real mad scientist, Dr. Henri Arkaville, a future villain who has it out for the Transformers. Wheeljack is called in to help save the life of new Autobot, Shredhead in this issue as well. A lot of story was in this issue.

Photo-A-Day #02767 This morning we took the kids to First Watch for breakfast. They were not impressed. The place was really loud, they didn't quite enjoy their meals and that made for a rather poor experience. While we were there though we talked about the things that we'd like to watch together (movies) before Eva goes off to college. We settled on watching Stand By Me as the first of a series of movies we'll watch over the next few weeks.  I worked at The Pretzel factory today until closing. Then I ran a bunch of pretzels over to America's Best Defense. I had put out a call earlier in the week for people who might want a delivery of pretzels. Sensei Howard replied and I got him on the list for tonight. Last night I went to the North Attleboro Fire Station and they practically tackled me for them. Both nights someone did not pick up their 2 Good 2 Go order so I had multiple bags of pretzels to share.  When I got home we watched Stand By Me. I think both kids really en...

Photo-A-Day #02766 I was on Tik Tok the other day and saw an ad for the Pizza Pack. this is a way to store multiple slices of pizza for easy reheating and the storage container won't take up a ton of room like a regular pizza box. I got one for us and one for Eva to take to college. Hope it works well.

Photo-A-Day #02765 I've been thinking of a book to get Eva to send with them to college. There is this guy on Tik Tok and I really enjoy listening to his stories. He wrote a book called Empty your backpack and so I ordered it for Eva. I plan to read through it before giving it to them with a little note from me. I hope that Eva enjoys reading Sam's stories and is able to take a little wisdom from them.

Photo-A-Day #02764 Today Eva and I went and picked up Lexi for Auntie Tara. Tara's plane was delayed and Lexi needed to be picked up from daycare. So we went over and got her and than brought her home to hang out with us. after a brief period of adjustment she settled right in and enjoyed hanging out with us on the couch.
