Hey @elonmusk, you failed me! 14 years ago when I had my first kid, I figured you would have fully self driving cars figured out and I would not have to do what I just had to do. She now has a permit and I have to reach her to drive! 😳
And with another day of buy a large, get a small, it’s time to reallocate my coffee budget. The cold foam is getting a bit out of hand @HyVee #smokeyrow
I stopped posting almost everywhere because no one was listening.
Recently I hit a brutal IT issue and reached out to contacts I hadn’t talked to in a decade—back when my goal was to become a software influencer.
That never happened. I just became me. And I’m okay with that.
True followers put my 52 minute real time build of a magnetic leather bookmark on in the background while they work.
Apparently a real time build video of a basic magnetic bookmark that was cut on my @xToolOfficial P2 laser was not the way to go if I wanted to get views. 😂

My front two tire pressure sensors on my @chevy have not be giving me a reading for two months, (presumably dead batteries, recently had the back to replaced due to the batteries) yet the monthly Onstar spam email always has my tire pressure available to me.
So either Onstar is emailing me incorrect information, or @chevy has decided that it is allowed to read the correct information wireless and on the dash tell me it is not available, showing me warning messages and forcing me to pay for service.
After my latest issue with @amazon—still not receiving a $30 Prime Video credit from a Cyber Monday deal—I’m seeing the downside of a company that can deliver almost anything in 2 days. Support won’t honor it without proof and says external news posting done count
It’s unrealistic for me to boycott @Amazon entirely, but I think I will make an effort to not purchase from them this month. Likely no effect on their bottom line, but it will make me feel better and maybe some of that money will end up with a small business instead.
Day 3 of @UPS putting my stuff on the truck. Let’s see if they decide to deliver it today. I’m not sure if the people at the end of the route will ever get their packages if they just start over everyday and never finish their route. 🙄
Sometimes working in IT feels like being a toddler 🤦♂️
You’re melting down over something very real, but everyone else just hears babbling and assumes you need a snack and a nap 🧃😴.
Shout out to the @WDMPolice K-9 unit. That was a beautifully timed traffic stop on Jordan Creek Parkway this morning. I hope you were able to get both left turners running through on red that you had to hit the breaks for.
I really wanted to stop and buy you a ☕️
Finally getting some time to stitch up the leather wallet.
Hand-stitching this minimalist leather wallet using the classic saddle stitch 🪡 — simple, durable, and oddly satisfying. There’s something about slowing down and doing it by hand that just hits different. 👌
What should I make next in leather? 👇

This week I continued working on the wallet — doing some edge burnishing, applying a leather finish, and getting it glued up. I also kept going on the 3D printed LEGO-style letters… with a few fails along the way.
Check out the full recap here 👇

Tired of seeing posts about the Dodgers?
🛠️I did that thing again where I make a video and no one watches it.
Before stitching, it’s all about the edges 👇
Burnish the hidden spots smooth and seal with Fiebing’s Leather Sheen for that pro finish 🪶

Do you know what doesn’t need #AWS? Dyeing the minimalist leather wallet I am working on.
As I get older I get more and more turned off by the fleeting nonsense of the digital world and much prefer to work on something physical that is likely to outlast my lifetime.
