The look of someone who knows it’s still 11 minutes to dinner time, but wishes I’d just feed her already.

Well, if they loved those 2, I’m sure they’ll love the 30 I’ve got in my jaw now.

X-ray of my jaw a week after surgery. Upper jaw was cut horizontally from the skull, moved forward & is held on by 4 titanium brackets, with 16 screws total. Lower jaw was cut through vertically at both Ramus portions, moved forward, and is held on by 2 titanium brackets, with 8 screws total. And the lower chin portion of my jaw had a triangular section cut out and moved forward to pull the digastric muscle forward, opening up my airway a little more. That section is held on by 2 brackets, with a total of 6 screws.

You can also see the 2 implants on the lower jaw, each where the second molars were on each side, as well as the numerous fillings & crowns.

Not exactly the dog days of August… I’ll take it!

Dunno, but they’re awfully stinking cute when they sleep like that.

These 2 post-surgery nurses might be cute, but they’re not helpful at all.

You reach a certain age where “bring your own protection” means something completely different.

There are days I don’t find stuff like a feather on the bath mat, but then there are days I do, and I’m pretty sure l that 99.999% of those days are due to this goof.

Daisy the yellow Labrador retriever, comfortably laying in her back, facing the camera, atop a grey blanket, up against the bump made by the pillow.her front legs are propped lazily up, with her feet hanging down, and her back legs are splayed to either side.

You have to wonder how this is comfortable for a dog but it most certainly must be.

Oh no. They have seen me eating cheese.

Patty (with the ears) & Daisy watching me eat cheese.

And yes, I’m not a monster - they each got a bite.

We’re gonna get absolutely nailed with severe weather. Radar images show the nasty storms ~40 miles away, but the sirens just kicked in, so it’s coming FAST!

Mine is bored as well. Ever since the basement contractor left after marking the layout, she’s been sooooo bored…

Back home, they woke up to frost on the grass. #Vacation

At the gym this morning, another guy tells me I look just like Gurney Halleck in Dune (played by Josh Brolin). Having to admit I haven’t seen it yet might hurt my nerd crew, but I think it’s time!

Ironic that he tweeted essentially the same thing 6 years ago yesterday.

Wisconsin is being absolutely SLAMMED with this winter storm. Here’s the current travel advisory map. Black means “Travel not advised”, so basically “Good luck.” This is the worst storm northern & northeastern Wisconsin has seen in decades.

She fell asleep sitting up against the couch like this.

But I’ve been told by a very smart person that the moon is, in fact, a part of Mars.

Donald J. Trump tweet from June 7, 2019:
@realDonaldTrump
For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!

A small price to pay for their happiness!

How Patty feels (it’s 3°F, but feels like -15)

I took my wife up to Cave Point County Park right on Lake Michigan in Door County a couple years ago in a frigid January, & saw plenty of trees coated in the spray from the lake. We heard several trees “pop”, and even had one that went “BANG” as I walked not 5’ from it! Fortunately, no explosions.

A woman bundled up against the cold, standing on an ice-covered cliff above an un-frozen Lake Michigan in the background, with trees overloaded with ice. It was approximately 5°F at the time of the picture, because of a polar vortex, but the lake hasn’t had time to freeze over.

The waves spray up into everything, & the trees sometimes crack & even splinter because of the cold & moisture.

Dustin Mueller @sqlcheesecake.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

They’re warning us that we may get some exploding trees as the weather gets colder. Exploding. Trees. But hey, at least we don’t have hurricanes, earthquakes, scorpions, etc…

Yes, replacing the fan is gonna happen soon.
