Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Saw a local news story about the police department in next town over announcing trick or treat times for this Halloween. Bold of the police to try to tell people when they can celebrate a holiday. Pretty sure that's not in their purview. 020
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I finished it this morning. Getting the second book tomorrow. Unfortunately, the third book isn't out yet. I think I'm gonna start reading more scifi in addition to the detective fiction and wacky Florida fiction I normally read. Broaden my horizons a bit. 010
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I never read any of the books that The Expanse was based on but I absolutely love the series. Not actually a big scifi reader besides all the Vonnegut and Adams I read in my youth. I got the first book in the newer series by the authors of the Expanse books, The Mercy of Gods, delivered on Monday. 101
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Mentally preparing myself for how many motherfuckin' leaves imma peep next month. 050
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026My favorite 🔧⚙️ song: music.youtube.com/watch?v=rAg1...music.youtube.comSubvertYouTube video by Zounds - Topic 020
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We always joke that Crackers could be a super-dog-model. She's got that "it" factor! 280
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Lol. My voice is one of the reasons I hate listening to my sporadic old podcast appearances, lol. 120
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Some people have face blindness. I do, but just for Orlando Bloom. Couldn't tell you how many times I've looked up the cast list of whatever I'm watching to figure out that a dude is... Orlando Bloom. 020
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Lol. God, that sounds awful. Round 2 of work, haha. 010
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026This morning was my first day back at work post vasectomy. Really wish I could've taken this weekend off, haha. Not great being on my feet for 10+ hours. Back at home resting now. Gotta get ready for round 2 tonight. 120
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I got a vasectomy yesterday. It wasn't so bad, luckily. Taking it easy today. Back to work Friday night like usual. Hoping that timeline works. 🤞🤞 140
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Today is the first day of my 11 day work vacation. On Saturday Courtney and I are attending Floatzilla on the Mississippi River in the quad cities. Hundreds of people kayaking together on the river. On Sunday we're heading to Minneapolis for four nights and bringing the dogs. 110
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The big todo in my town today is that a new gas station/truck stop has their first day open today. The gas at this company's stations is typically the cheapest around. It's like 30 or 40 cents cheaper than any other station in town. I'll take it. Gotta get excited about small things in a small town. 010
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 11/07/2026@tavie.bsky.social Happiest of birthdays to you! 120
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I wrote that skeet after the first episode, and, oh boy, did it get even more up my alley in unexpected ways. Happy I knew nothing about it going in. 000
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Really happy for you. I know it's not easy. I'm sure Weeder Dragon is going to love it! 010
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Bought tickets to see @toddglass.bsky.social at The Den Theatre in Chicago this November. He's a national treasure and I can't wait to see him perform again! I love the life I have now but sometimes I miss seeing all my favorite comedians and going to 2 or 3 comedy shows a week in LA. Fond memories. 000
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I've wanted to visit ever since we moved to the Midwest but it just hadn't happened yet. I think it's the number one new place I want to visit within driving distance. We've visited a lot of places in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and (less excitedly) Iowa. Looking forward to seeing Minnesota! 010
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Our wedding anniversary is mid-August and we decided to go away for a few days somewhere within driving distance. We settled on visiting the twin cities. We've never been. Booked a dog-friendly hotel room so we can bring the pups. If anyone has any dog-friendly recommendations I'm all ears! 331
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 08/07/2026The broadcast channel my wife likes to watch is out of the quad cities so we see a lot of Iowa political ads. I didn't really have an opinion on Rob Sand before but this attack ad makes him v relatable to me. 010
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Goldfish was spayed yesterday so we're just laying on the couch together taking it easy. We got her a cute recovery suit. I told her I know it's rough (ruff), but it's for the best and I have an appointment to get myself fixed in September, so it's not just something we do to dogs. 120
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Courtney bought a little espresso machine but our previous coffee nook was too small to fit it so I ordered this blue kitchen cart to be our new coffee station. 120
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Courtney got a much better picture of the birthday girl in her party hat. 121
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 19/06/2026It's officially Goldfish's birthday! The big 2! 150
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Courtney and I finally got around to watching the second season of Beef. I enjoyed the band cameo. 000
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Still trapped and the tongue has made an appearance. 010
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I bought a used bike last week. I already own a 1973 Schwinn Suburban that I love but it's so old and heavy that it's not the easiest bike to ride. This one is nothing fancy. It's a 2014(?) Raleigh Venture 3.0 that's just a lot easier to ride. 130
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Got out on the lake today for the first time this year. 110
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Apple TVs recommendations are broken or something. I've had it for over a year and it just today made me aware of Sugar, a Colin Farrell neo noir detective show that couldn't be more up my alley. 100
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Courtney and I are going into Chicago tomorrow night to see Rilo Kiley. She bought us tickets for my birthday back in December. Should be fun! 140
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Our town finally finished the Riverwalk section under the bridge and connected the two riverside parks so now we don't have to cross a busy intersection to do our walk along the river. 020
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 21/05/2026On second thought, it was more of an estate sale but it was happening on the weekend our town and the town across the river from us have their "garage sale days". We went to five or six sales but these were my favorite things we bought. 000
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 21/05/2026We bought these serigraphs by a late artist named John Mosiman last weekend at a garage sale for $10 without the frames. Bought the frames after. Now we just have to decide where to hang them. I dig 'em. 100
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Oh man, so sorry to hear. My heart goes out to you. 010
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Courtney and I both enjoy cooking and, IMHO, are both pretty good at it. I can't think of any single thing that has had as noticeable an impact on our dinners as buying nicer peppercorns than we used to buy. Anybody have recs for even better pepper? I'm all ears. 030
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 13/05/2026We went across the Mississippi River to Clinton, Iowa to do some troll hunting. 160
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 12/05/2026We took the girls to the groomers today to get their nails and Grinch paws trimmed. 040
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 06/05/2026He urgently needs evacuation outside Gaza for treatment the family cannot afford. Every moment feels like goodbye. Even $5 could help save him, could give him another breath, another chance. Please, I beg you, don�t scroll past. Help this mother hold on to her son. Donate anything you can and share 000

Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Crackers is the master of the over the shoulder look-back smile. 0112
Patrick Roddy @patrickroddy.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Lol, I just don't want to come to the realization that if not for me, she might be some other imprisoned murderer's penpal-wife. Gonna keep assuming it's the actor's wonderfully expressive face she likes and not the piles of dead bodies left in the real dude's wake. 000
