I made pumpkin waffles for the first time. 10/10 but would add more spice next time.

A pumpkin waffle covered casually with whipped cream sitting on a fluted clear glass plate on a dark wood table next to some library books and a mug of coffee.

In Kansas, if you have a mail-in ballot and end up waiting to the last minute to drop it off, be aware that you can take it to ANY polling location on Election Day.

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing

Please admire my recently refinished handrail: as solid a piece of hardwood as you could ask for. Last weekend I scraped and sanded off all the old finish and decided to just use clear sealant. Returned it to service before anyone might need it.

Aqua wall with a natural wood handrail over some carpeted stairs. Ignore the bad spot on the carpet. I need to borrow a staple gun.

Today’s ADHD project: removed the old finish from a ~50-year-old wooden stair rail with a carbide scraper and sanding. Now I’m trying to decide whether to stain it or just throw a few coats of clear polyurethane on it.

Kayaked in southeast Missouri yesterday and the sun on my legs was so hot! It didn’t occur to me until today that I could have used the towel in my dry bag to cover them. Fortunately my sunscreen did its job.

I keep hearing muffled sounds of some sort and after checking to make sure it wasn’t some random device in my house, I’m forced to conclude that it’s something loud and annoying outside.

The problem with only going camping once a year is figuring out where Last Year You thought it was reasonable to put all the gear after a long, tiring road trip. Currently searching for my large cooler ice packs.
