Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 10hDaughter Dearest just sent this to me with the instruction, “Find the AI oopsie.” It’s worth the hunt (description and answer in alt). 020
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Hi all! Charlie and his school (and a bunch of others) have a field trip to a Gwinnett Stripers (AAA minor league baseball) game. Good seats! 011
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Meanwhile, Mason & his gf’s stepdad painted the Miata rims, trunk, and new back panel. It looks better than I first expected; Mason used an AI rendering to show me what it would look like, and that helped me sign off on it. Now watch him end up at Georgia Tech. 🤪 (1/2) 130
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Speaking of “rizz,” the dough only half-filled the pan not an hour ago. 120
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 22/08/2026After a long time sitting, Little Zook is running again! I had to remember a few things, but I got home in good order. 1131
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Hey all! After a weekend being outside in 90°F+ weather at Mason’s soccer tournament, I’m hoping for a quiet day in the A/C. But it was worth the trip: 111
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 15/08/2026There’s a “family fun fair” at the park in town this evening. Lots of booths, and they’re going to run a movie at dusk. Charlie, he’s happy to sit and people-watch. 030
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Miya turns her water dispenser sideways when it needs a refill. Pretty clever, especially for an orange cat. I think the other orange cats returned her spare brain cells. #CatsOfBluesky 051
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I’ve got a similar one from April 2021. Mason is the one kicking it. I know it was in the second half, because back then he played goalie in the first half and go up front for the second half. As he moved to a more advanced league, he’s goalie full-time now. 110
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 07/08/2026This is the Orange Crate, so named for its color and shape: 011
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Rosie really doesn’t like when the lightning makes the landline phone chirp. It’s the only time she wants to sit with me. 060
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 29/07/2026A splash pad is a more elaborate version of running through the sprinkler in the back yard. It has a bunch of different ways to spray (or dump) water on people who want to cool off & play in the water. Like a pool, water gets reused. 111
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Cool. My wife runs the family cattle farm, and gets mineral tubs for the cows. So we end up with a bunch of 20gal plastic tubs… I drill a few drain holes, layer an inch of gravel, 6” of GA clay, then fill with garden soil. They work well. 010
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 22/07/2026It feels really soft; Charlie would love it if it were his size. 000
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I got an “extra bonus” item in my Zon shipment today, a small grey tee. I think AJ can wear it. 120
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I decided to taste-test one of these little hooligans, to see if they’ll be suitable for the hot sauce I’m making tomorrow, and it passed. Literally. Two hours later, it treated me to a “ring of fire.” I have plenty of backup peppers if I don’t have enough. Even the jalapeños are hot as blazes. 140
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 16/07/2026quite dead yet. I put a bright orange bucket with a chunk of wood nearby, hoping they’ll find and use that instead. 020
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The bees must be thirsty; they keep trying to get a drink from the kiddie pool. I’ve had to net some casualties out & rescue a couple that weren’t 130
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Morning all! And Coffee Day is any day ending in Y. The hornworms are terrible this year, but the garden is still doing well. Yesterday, I picked a bunch of tomatoes that were split and/or chewed on, cut off the yuck spots, and made a quart of pasta sauce with basil from the garden. 121
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 15/07/2026For some reason, hitting the sauce with an immersion blender turned it yellow. The completed sauce filled a quart jar to the brim. 061
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I pulled a bunch of tomatoes that had bug-chewed spots and cracks. Instead of chucking them, I cut off the bad spots and started some pasta sauce. Tomatoes and basil came out of the garden today. 231
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 07/07/2026My first attempt at making hamburger buns. I’ll need a smaller cutter, or bigger patties. 241
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I’m thinking about asking him if we could take the truck up there for a weekend campout. I have a tent that sits in the truck bed: 110
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Someone the wife knows generously offered to let us come up for viewing fireworks at multiple sites. 150
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Wife had been complaining about the new fridge leaking water, but we don’t have the ice machine hooked up. The drawer wasn’t closing all the way on the left, due to ice buildup along that side. I used a cordless heat gun & a butter knife to get it out. Weird at FAR Manor is normal, BUT… (1/6) 120
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I took Charlie to the park in town to ride bikes yesterday. He enjoyed it. 121
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Yup, got out the second biggest mug this morning. 100
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 14/05/2026That hatch on the right is going to drive someone bonkers. 040
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Finally got it put together. Now the Meshtastic app isn’t finding the device, and it ends up at this screen. Sorry to dump this on you… am I missing something, or did I get a dud? It does detect our Wi-Fi network along the way. 300
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Miya is 3 now, turning into a chonk. Despite the “orange cats share one brain cell” meme, she lets me know when something needs attention—she literally flags her litter box when she wants it cleaned up. And now it’s shedding season. 010
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I didn’t share the quick video of Mason stopping the first shootout shot vs. Calhoun on Friday. Mason’s shooters were flawless, and they won the shootout 4-1. (Calhoun’s second shot bounced off the post, and their third one went in.) They have a 3-shootout win streak now, going back to last season. 030
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 21/03/2026What’s wrong with this picture? I’ll tell you. Cows *never* repair fences, they only knock holes in them. 010
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 17/03/2026All four basil seeds sprouted! Everything is in the garage while the cold snap is going, except the spinach & kale (which don’t care about a little frost). 040
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 10/03/2026If you put a Chihuahua in a Boston Terrier skinsuit, and she dribbled coffee down the front of it, you would have a result much like this. #DogsOfBluesky 071
Larry Kollar @farfetched58.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Wife: I don’t want a lot of pepperoni on my side. How the pizza arrived: 140
