Friday marked 5 years of sobriety from alcohol for me, which was nice. Then on Saturday I went to my city’s pride parade. I asked a friend to come with me, and another friend if they wanted to play a round of disc golf afterwards, but both cancelled. This usually means I wallow in self-pity, but instead I got geared up in my gayest outfit, and enjoyed the festival anyway! it was like 100 degrees, but I was proud to see so many happy people having a great time in one of the most welcoming, accepting environments ever.
CONGRATS!
Congratulations on your 5 years.
Thank you! I texted my father, saying “oh, look another year down!” and he replied “ok,” and told me his plans for later that day. So you’re actually the only person to have congratulated me on this so far. So, thanks!
Credit where it’s due. LOL
I redesigned a mechanism for an automata I’ve been working on for over a year for the fourth time, and now it’s like half the size and way more reliable then the previous prototype.
cooked fluffy rice with no burnt ends!
I love rainstorms and got a doozy yesterday, that was pleasant
Redoing the spark plug wires on my old truck and pulled off the valve covers and cleaned the rust off and painted them.
They’re looking real pretty now. Excited to get everything put all back together.
Finally got web workers to work in WASM
Nearly finished with some gift art!
My son caught his first fish! A 3 inch bluegill, we have an incredibly adorable photo!
Also, to quote another poster in this thread…
And thank you for the question! I include this opportunity to share my joy as a good thing that is going on with my weekend.
Me? Just livin’ large boy, livin’ so large.
I got a good deal on a projector that I used to set up a home theater in the basement complete with ambient lighting, couches, and even a mini fridge. Now, I’m just waiting for the weekday to start so I can go to the store to pick up the cords I need for the sound system. Been playing my PS5 on it and it looks amazing!
I’ve been celebrating the Midsummer Day with my family. Here in Finland, the whole country basically closes down for the weekend and almost everyone heads to the countryside. Fire officials had banned bonfires this year, so no ‘kokko’. Lots of good food and even greater company, plenty of swimming and enjoying the sauna!
I hit the balmer-peak twice today
Nerds with attitude
How did you know Im into old Thinkpads?
Got a new pipe in the mail and got some new tobacco coming in soon, so I’m excited to enjoy that at the park later while reading a book and I am considering ordering my first block meerschaum soon.
More enjoyable than vapes imo.
I enjoy them both. I have some zero nicotine vapes that I use from time to time, but I also enjoy my aromatics.

I might end up studying to get a math/physics endorsement when I start teaching in Oregon next year. The district I’ll be teaching for has in their collective bargaining agreement that each teacher can request funds for certification exams, and they offer $1000 each year for postgraduate work, so why not? No district I’ve taught for in Texas offers anything like that.
I made the equivalent of 1 week wage in like two hours today… money can’t buy happiness but I feel good about it anyway.
That sounds really nice! May I ask what you did?

I took a couple of very cute selfies in a new outfit and had a difficult but fruitful conversation with my girlfriend about some insecurities that I was having in the relationship.
And thank you for the question! I include this opportunity to share my joy as a good thing that is going on with my weekend.
What good things are going on with your weekend?
