Family Tech Support ...

Photo-A-Day #02636 We are on the Cape for the Easter holiday. We got down and had lunch then I took a nap before work. Got up and we had pizza from Paul's for dinner. Andy had everyone watching Atlantis: The Lost Empire after dinner. Andy has been watching lots of old Disney animated movies. I like that Andy has been exploring these old movies. After dinner I set up for work. When I am anywhere but home I have to set up a ton of stuff including an additional screen. I completely overtook the sun porch table. I have it all down to a science. My parent's got a new router and that has caused a few things to stop working. Mainly the Sonos speaker. I figured that out and got that working again so now they can play whatever music they like from Spotify. Then there was the general updates for my dad's computer and also trying to figure out why Quicken accounts were looking all sorts of strange with charges showing as credits and vice versa. I think I got that figured as well.

LEGO Dodge Hellcat ...

Photo-A-Day #02635 I've had this LEGO set with me at work for a few months and tonight I built it. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in a LEGO set before. You can see in the photo that the roof of the car does not line up well. I tried for a very long time to get everything in place but it just is a wonky build. I've done so many other LEGO car builds and this is by far the worst one. I really thought i was going to be good but in the end the very last bits did not fit together well or even securely. It was very frustrating.

Part Time At The Pretzel Factory ...

Photo-A-Day #02634 Yesterday I went by the Philly Pretzel Factory and filled out an application. I had been in there a week ago and gave the owner my name and number but wanted to follow up. He called me and asked me to come in this morning to chat and he hired me to work part time. I'm going to have to use a lot of self control not to eat pretzels on every shift. I start training on Monday.

Proud of Our Graduating Senior Sign ...

Photo-A-Day #02633 We got a message from Feehan the other day that they had commissioned lawn signs through Signs by Tomorrow. I ran over there today and picked one up.I made sure to drive Eva by the front yard even though we came in the wrong street to pass by the front yard cleanly. I went very convoluted to get there but wanted her to see it. She did and was happy that I had picked one up.

Front Yard Stump ...

Photo-A-Day #02632 Allison and I took a walk around the neighborhood after dinner tonight. I snapped this photo of the stump from the tree that we had taken down this Fall. Not sure what I'm going to do in that space but we shall see.

First Crocuses of 2026 ...

Photo-A-Day #02631 The Spring is coming and the first flowers have arrived. I always enjoy seeing these little guys pop up each season. I can't help but photograph them too. I think I have crocus photos from every year and they pretty much are all the same as these guys pop up in the same place each year.

College Counseling at Morins ...

Photo-A-Day #02630 This afternoon we had lunch with Tar and Erik at Morins. We went for the meal and the advice on college funding. We're working on how to fund Eva's first year of college. We're in that "No need" level of college funding and that means taking out plenty of loans. So we are working on how to best do that. So I've got a lot of research to do to get the best rates I can for loans and we are also looking at scholarships. while we were there Erik told us about how much he has fond memories of the Charlie Burger and how he and his grandparents used to split them whenever they went there. They liked the renovations that were made to the place. I told them that they had to see the sign on the side of the building, it really gives the place a great look. Before we went to lunch Mem and Grandfather stopped over to congratulate Eva on her award at the METG Festival.
