We don’t get much of a fall or winter, but these cloudy drizzly days sure make puppies snoozing just seem more endearing. #RhodesianRidgebacks, #Ridgebacks,

10 (well, later, 9) people, 7-days, go on an expedition to the lower Everglades to help a USF doctoral student with data for her thesis. The Southern-most point on the continental U.S. (not Key West). It was a blast! [Flamingo, FL and Cape Sable] #everglades, #evergladesFL, #flamingoFL,

In Greek mythology, Narcissus' demise was a reflecting pool in which he fell in love with the image of himself only to disregard all else. This is where we derive the term Narcissist. #ReflectingPool, #LincolnMemorial

There is nothing more "Florida" than one of the leading potential FL governor candidates promoting literacy in FL, while the campaign sign has a HUGE spelling error. #Florida, #ByronDonalds x.com/j_fishback/s...

Welcome our newest family member, Daisy. She's a 6y/o full-breed Rhodesian Ridgeback. She was returned to her breeder after 6 years, reportedly the family couldn't handle her. Rüger has a new older roommate now. #RhodesianRidgeback, #Ridgeback, #DunedinFL

Personally, I'm agnostic. I'm not against faith, but I do feel faith is earned by verifiable evidence and experience. I do find it interesting, however, when faith and reality cross paths. #TurningPointUSA

I thought of you today, Penny. My friend of 28 years. You are so missed. 😭

I can highly recommend the DEWENWILS 240VAC/40amp Matter Smart Switch. I replaced my aged mechanical pool pump timer with this. Installation was easy and pairing with the Home Assistant matter server was even easier! Completely satisfied. #HomeAssistant, #HA, #HAOS

What I love about Home Assistant? It's open source; it has a massive community of enthusiasts and developers from all over the world working together for the same goal. A few developers reek of arrogance, but mostly people try to help each other - regardless of their nationality. #HomeAssistant, #HA

Holy Coquito! 😁🥰🎄🎅 Feliz Navidad! I’m not Puerto Rican, but a close friend is and she was my mentor! And she won’t tolerate short cuts. We steep the spices into a tea and use more rum than you should. I’m honored to be her student. 😁 #PuertoRico, #Coquito, #Christmas, #HandmadeGifts

Our Star Fruit tree is kicking butt again. This the second fruiting this year, and it has new blossoms on it. These things are massive and mildly sweet! #gardening, #Dunedin, #DunedinFL

We hold an every-other-month Ridgeback meet-up in Tampa @ the Hair of The Dog park & Pub. It's a Craft Beer & Wine pub in the middle of an outdoor dog park. Rüger loves it! #RhodesianRidgebacks, #TampaBayRidgebacks,#HairOfTheDogPark, #Rhodesians

I volunteered for kitchen duty at our local American Legion (Post 275) - we hosted a free meal cookout for our veterans and members. Everyone had a great time, and I got surprised by some long-time friends. #ALPOST275, #AmericanLegion, #SAL, #DunedinALpost275,

Polished up new menus for the home automation system. I also integrated Music Assistant and integrated the Spotify add-on. I'm blown away by how powerful Music Assistant is. #HomeAssistant, #HA,

What’s exciting here is that we programmed Isaac with instructions on where to look for very specific info, but not with what to say. So as the info changes, so does his answer. #HA, #AI,

How do they raise homes on the shoreline and barrier islands in the Tampa FL area? As scary as this looks, it's a common and well-engineered practice.
