"Three on the tree" used to have a different meaning.

Little Miss, the shy kitty, has ventured out from her comfort zone to pass judgement on the children and pets outside.

Even better than the microwave popper! This whirlypop is about 10 years old and is used weekly, sometimes daily; the last one the gear on the top ended up stripped when my then proto-teen tried to force it to spin when full. 😂 I use 3 tablespoons of oil for 1/2 cup of the good stuff (pictured).

My kittens (well, two out of three) are taking turns through the night snuggling up next to me so I can't move without disturbing them. Binx (passed in Dec 2025) used to do the same thing. I suspect he is instructing them from the aether on all the fun stuff to tease me with. (Binx)

I'd love to take a listen but these are the only options. I won't use the first four and I don't know the last two, at all. Any other options?

So, I'm growing out my beard. I think the last time I gave it a trim was mid-March, before I went on vacation to Canyonlands. I look ... scruffy. I am trying to make it to the end of August (birthday) but I may give in and shave it off before then. I've had a beard of some sort for ...3 years?

Sunset on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. We drove out to see the fireworks as the salt flats were one of the few locations statewide where it is currently legal. There were a few hundred people at the rest stop trying to set off their stuff without killing each other. Funny stuff.

May your celebrations have plentiful ale, potent pipe weed, and fireworks worthy of Mithrandrir himself. (Yes, I'm watching The Fellowship of the Ring, why do you ask?)

Definitely needs cleaning.

I found my cache of 45s which I thought were lost 30 years ago. Some of them were from my DJ years, some from my dad's time as a radio host. I need to clean them but ... I had to play one. Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", the original pressing.

Hey @glenphillips.bsky.social and @toadthewetsprocket.bsky.social - I didn't realize until today that Darth Vader was a fan!

*sigh* I remember rain ... I'm happy today that we are over 15% relative humidity so, hopefully, the firefighters get a break. S So. Much. Smoke. (There are mountains across the valley. Promise!)

Leo REALLY likes Looney Tunes.

Chris H. @tchansen.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Found a pristine copy of The Rainmakers at @graywhaleslc.bsky.social and gave it a spin after dropping the car at the shop. Leo likes it, Maui wants to catch the label, and Little Miss sits on the couch, absorbing the ambiance. Musi-cats.

I can't type if my nails hit the keys. It drives me up the wall so my nails are also short. (I also have kitten prick marks because, well, kittens)

"Hi dad!" (Yes, I don't pull the comforter over because they like the boundary to snuggle into)

Little Miss is still very shy and reluctant to allow affection so her cuddling up on the bed with me and sleeping is a huge step for her! 3 feet away but it doesn't matter; she is relaxed and comfortable.

Chris H. @tchansen.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Nope. Not cute. Not at all.

I decided to watch one of my favorite shows again as I'm a bit down and need a bit of comfort 'food' for the soul.

The other one I thought of is the full COVID beard. This one is just desert-scruffy.

One of the kittens has discovered Shawn the Sheep and has watched two episodes so far (they're short).

Chris H. @tchansen.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Our three new kittens. The gray says his name is Leo and the male black is Maui. The black female is a bit shy but I'm sure she'll tell me her name in due time; until then she is "little miss".

Chris H. @tchansen.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I am trying to pick another one.

My homemade MTV style music video station is predominantly Nathaniel Rateliff (with or without The Night Sweats), Molly Turtle, Sarah Jarosz, The Brothers Comatose, and the like. I do throw in some youthful throwbacks and recommendations are always welcome.

No, black cats aren't photogenic. At all.
