I don't know what this instrument Emily Hopkins is demonstrating sounds like yet, but for the UI alone I know I want one!

Still image from YouTube video by Emily Hopkins demonstrating the "add pedals" a.e.n. console :

The synth has unique, spiky, urchin-like metal controllers as part of its UI. That's the coolest part. ;)

I miss this fluff ball. 😢 Just look at him— Teddy was such a beautiful and loving dog. ✨💔🌈🐕

Teddy aka Ted the Radiant, our beloved Keeshond, looking fabulous in the breeze. Rest in peace little buddy. ✨♥️🌈🐕

Look at this puffball! Teddy was such a good and fluffy boy. I’m so thankful he was in our family for almost 12 years. Rest in peace little buddy. ✨♥️🌈🐕

Teddy and I on a walk last summer. He was always so happy and friendly. I miss this little puff ball. ✨💔🌈🐕

After 11 years of blessing our family with love and fuzz, Teddy will be crossing the Rainbow Bridge today. He has an inoperable cancerous tumor taking up half of his abdominal cavity and crushing his other organs. He was a very good dog, and I’m lucky we had him. I love you Teddy. 😢✨♥️🌈🐕

The Ollie Land expansion project is coming along swimmingly! Ollie Burger now has 2 tanks, one 29g and the other 55g, with a covered land bridge and basking area connecting the two. Next task up, expanding the land area so he has more space to explore. Ollie Burger!! YEAH YEAH! ✨🌈♥️🐢 #turtle

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Ollie Land Expansion Project - Ollie Burger, Chinese Pond Turtle extraordinaire, is moving on up! His new setup has 84 gallons of water to swim around in (with separate 29g + 55g tanks) a contained basking area connecting the two tanks! The 29g tank has a Fluval 307 and the 55g tank has a Fluval FX4. The next step is adding an additional land area for Ollie to explore. OLLIE BURGER!! Yeah yeah!

Happy Friday my friends! The Ollie Land expansion is in progress, and Ollie is adapting, hanging out and basking in the temporary setup. Soon he’ll have TWO tanks— a private 29 gallon and a public 55 gallon. “Public?” YES!l—Plants and fish friends are moving in so Ollie will have neighbors! 🐠🐢

New tire, still went flat while driving, and I've determined that fix-a-flat sucks. Allstate did a good job getting someone to me to put the donut on when one of the lugs* wouldn't budge. (*Not the locking lug- I know to use the key!) I'm a little more upset I missed my Doctor appointment.

Pthelo, driving to his Doctor appointment, developed a flat tire on NSP.

He managed to get 3 of 4 lugs off (including the locking lug) but one of them was stuck, so he couldn't put the spare on. Allstate got someone there in under an hour and they finished changing it in under 5 minutes.

Pthelo has also determined that Fix-A-Flat SUCKS.

It's a PITA to get a replacement tire because it's like 5cm smaller than standard and needs to be special ordered. Thank Mitsubishi for that.

“Ollie Burger, Deep in the Bask” - Candid photo of Ollie Burger, Chinese Pond Turtle Extraordinaire, napping in his penthouse suite, above his pool, leaning on his basking stone, totally chill.

💥 EPIC OLLIE ALT TEXT EXPLO💥

Pthelo has shared a candid photo of Ollie Burger, Chinese Pond Turtle Extraordinaire, hanging out in his penthouse suite above his pool, leaning on his basking stone, totally chill.

From this perspective, you can see Ollie’s water entrance and exit ramp, his high diving board, covered tube bridge/tunnel (he climbs both over and through it), his primary UV lamp, ambient LED light, ceramic heat lamp, and secondary UV lights.

Toward the right, and behind the white picket-style fence, is his triangle house made with circular stone tiles, with a stone feature wall behind it. On the right is the secondary water access and platform diving area behind a wrought-iron-style fence. On the far left, the blue pashmina scarf is used to block ambient light and cover half the tank in a cozy, tent-like fashion at night.

The main structure is a combination of two steel wire shelves arranged above the aquarium.

This perspective is unique compared to most Ollie photos which are usually taken close up.
