This view is stunning in every light, but this evening it’s magical
I’ve never before had a finished, climate controlled space for my arcade & pinball workshop. Super stoked.
Thank goodness for these clever pin-skates. I’ve got a lot of machines to move. I just love specialized tools like this that do one thing superbly
If you ever find yourself in Spruce Pine you should play mini golf and eat shaved ice at Vic’s Place
Prepare to be amazed at these dollhouse interiors! Every room not only looks real, it looks lived in. Reminds me of the Thorne Miniature Rooms at the Chicago Art Institute but while those are detailed period pieces staged like real estate photos. This dollhouse is like…
This picture is in a dollhouse. A dear family friend (Dolores “Teedy” Lee) who died recently had been working on it for decades. She was an expert woodworker and passionate about antiques. Take a little tour!
Finished The Aeronaut’s Windlsss last night. Very entertaining and well written in most parts (and the audio was great). Loved the portrayal of the cats and really got to love the characters, particularly Folly and Grimm. Thanks for the recommendation, @avisvigilantes
Flip side of this is what happened to my mom. the farm land (worth millions) went to the three sons who are renting out the land or will sell. Meanwhile the daughters got next nothing. My mom’s sister has a son who would like to farm some of it but none of the uncles will let him…
One of my controversial takes is that’s you should not spread your inheritance evenly among your children and especially if you are a farmer. This is one of the things that’s ruining family farms.
Reads like it’ll be the best @posteritycider cider club installment yet. I’m super excited for these
I finally have a moment to talk about the latest cider club! Let's talk Sour Apricot Cyser
personal recommendations for a dehumidifier. Room is 15x20ish. I can see what Amazon recommends but I’d love to hear from personal experience
My daughter told me how much she liked this painting today so I thought I’d share it. A 10x10” landscape sketch from a few years back
It’s a weird genre, but reading through the Cradle series was an absolute blast & the audio books great. I’m 49 and I don’t play video games.
Just discovered the subgenre "progression fantasy" which is a subgenre for people so mind poisoned by video games that they need to watch their fantasy novel protagonists "level up" and gain skill points or something in each book in a series. 🫣😬🤕
It’s that time of year for roosters being offered on Facebook. Nobody needs roosters right now.
