We all went to Mufasa: The Lion King tonight at Edina 4. I’ve always enjoyed the Lion King movies and this was a great one as well. 🍿
I spent some time this morning doing analysis of our electricity usage. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy XcelEnergy makes it to retrieve your historical data at frequencies as low as every 15 minutes! Related — we use a lot of electricity… ⚡️
Tyler and I decided to redeem the Pokemon 2014 #69 M Charizard EX card that we bought via Collector Crypt. Collector Crypt stores the graded card securely and you hold the NFT as proof of ownership. We burned the NFT and withdrew the card. It arrived today and is great!
Rides!
We completed the Cosmic Crisis room at The Escape Game in the Mall of America. 15m 19s remaining on the clock and no clues! Room 59!
Two full Wagyu Tenderloins came out incredibly delicious. 3 hours in Sous Vides with a finish on Big Green Egg at 450 °F.
Bottom starting the Big Green Egg and hoping I left enough charcoal in it to thaw the gasket so I can open it up. Finishing beef tenderloins on here for early Christmas dinner with my family today. 🤞🔥🧊
