Today was the first day, after nearly a year, of me getting out on my own. My e-bike is wonderful for getting around town. I got a cheeseburger.

Getting my Ebike fixed finally. It’s going to be nice to be able to get around again.

Those days when the highway patrol lets you go because you just got chemo… Blessings 😌

I’m just going to say I hate my ostomy. I know people live with them fine but mine never heals. It always hurts and I can’t get the smell out of my head. Fiancé is always looking up new things to try but nothing works so far.

I’m just gonna watch Sealab 2021 today and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Jesus, it’s 107 degrees outside and my neighbor is mowing.

Hah! I literally live in a little house on (the) prairie. Good to have our own finally.

I am now a resident of Wichita. Pity me, please.

Just found a complete Kobayashi Alternative for the #C64 for $2. Now I need a C64 and a disk drive.

Shit... Guy buying my car backed out. Anyone need a decent but not perfect Focus? Going cheap.

Need a very important legal form from Florida. Their website is broken. Had someone down there go to a courthouse to try and get said form. They refer them to the broken website and refuse to help. Yay me. I just want to do things right and they won't let me. Anybody know a family lawyer down there?

Doctor Pickles @docpickles.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

I don’t know… If people cracked off a few rounds every couple of months towards me at work I’d find a new job.

Eight days in the hospital for a blown out appendix. Staff are always great here - but it’s still a hospital. Unexpected stays are so much fun. At least I hate the painkillers they give me so the addiction angle just isn’t there.

Doctor Pickles @docpickles.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Guess who’s appendix burst! Wouldn’t recommend it…

Can't show titties on TV, but an axe to the face? A-OK.

Feeling old. Don’t know who the SNL host is or does. Don’t know why people are screaming for another guy I don’t know who shows up. At least I know the musical guest.

It's February. It's 80 degrees outside, in Missouri. We're not gonna make it, are we?

You know what show I'd like to see? Gordon Ramsays Average Meals. He takes a week, watches a family cook, and then offers suggestions on how to make their food better within a reasonable budget. Yeah, fresh veggies every night would be great - but how do I make canned a bit better?

Doctor Pickles @docpickles.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Well fuck... Can anyone in Las Vegas take in my crazy ass SIL for a night until we can drive from Missouri to get her? Not expecting anything, and the shelters aren't taking her. But if you're willing it would be nice.

Doctor Pickles @docpickles.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

The chemo makes me sick as hell, but I'll be damned if I can't get down on some tacos anyway.

Doctor Pickles @docpickles.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Finally ordered myself a basic Meshtastic device. Got one with a big battery. Nobody around me has any that I can tell, but Kansas City is bound to have a few along the way.

Amaz0n has Kraft Mac cup 4-packs for $2.34---less than half price. These are the ones that only need water (no butter/milk), and my local food pantry wanted them even though the best-by date is May'26 (less than the usual 6m) bc they're so useful. www.amazon.com/dp/B000YG6TL...

And that’s my first chemo infusion done.

The new Steam Machine looks like an Ouya more than a GameCube.

Just got back from seeing (most) of "Die My Love". I'm very happy I didn't have to pay for it - because I walked out. There might be something in there for someone, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Sure, something about postpartum depression seems to be a thread, but that's a wispy thread.

Okay, what the fuck is up with all the inflation art on my Discovery? I block, I mute, I "show less", and it's just everywhere now. You do you, but the algorithm is not working right for me.

I should get rolling on building my pirate TV transmitter... Anyone got a spare amplifier? I can make the antenna.

Day 3 in the hospital. New hole in my gut. Feeling low. #fuckcancer

Doctor Pickles @docpickles.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

I got bad news today. I’m more scared than anything I’ve ever faced. If you pray, I’d appreciate it. If you send vibes, I’ll take all the good and hope you can float me. I’m too young for this. #fuckcancer

They're gonna put the people in prison out to work in the fields, y'all know that right?

So, a Timex Sinclair 1000 in box, with styrofoam, cables and manual for $25 at a thrift shop? Now I need accessories and a small CRT... Bet I can make it run off of USB-C!

@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social I'm sadly "represented" by Eric Burlison (in fact his office is just up the road...) and can absolutely confirm the locals are pissed about the Epstein stuff. And a couple hundred calls might have been mine. The water is poison in places around here - so spot on!

I honestly bought my AirPods for the hearing aid function, but I'll be damned if having music all day hasn't made me feel better.

Doctor Pickles @docpickles.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

I've got an early morning stoned thought... Do police or military dogs listen for a specific voice or could anyone just shout out those German commands with authority and confuse the pupper?

Doctor Pickles @docpickles.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

They ban books about gay penguins, but they're playing a band called "Steely Dan" on the radio. @kellycarlin.bsky.social knows what's up.

Oh, so we've cycled around to the Extinguish part of the 3 E's of Microsoft.

Why is it whenever I talk to someone on the phone - even if I know them, they're a friend or family... I get soaked in sweat? I pace too, but everyone seems to do that. God I love my fucked up brain.

Jesus, the heat index is 114F here. A few miles over a station is showing an index of 121F. We're fucked. Absolutely fucked.

@cpsc.gov So, like what do I do when an old man INSISTS on making a suicide-cord for his generator? Take videos?

We need some honorable Gomer Pyle type people to citizens arrest people trying to kidnap people off the streets. Barney knows he can't park in front of the hydrant.

Okay, so I play games on last gen systems, at the highest usually. Potatoes. Fun, but not the best. Work bonus - Got a Series X Holy shit, that's 60fps? There's stuff on the ground in NMS? Okay... Still mostly play retro stuff, but it's nice to be able to do new games.

Is it really a birthday parade, or is he prepping to barricade himself with all that armor?

Can any Congresscritter introduce a bill to ban all US law enforcement from wearing face obscuring masks? No carve outs for "special circumstances", show your fucking face you cowards. And nah, y'all breathe in the tear gas too.
