The 2024 St. Olaf Christmas Festival was amazing today! Mazie is in the St. Olaf Chapel Choir and was part of the Christmas Festival this year. It was a great program with beautiful performances by all.
The performance we saw was recorded and will be available online on December 18th.
On our walk around Lake Harriet this morning Tammy and I saw this rare Bald Eagle in the city. It was perched and analyzing the ice line for easy prey.
I love to see new blogs being created. In the spirit of Christmas, I’m gifting five 1-year subscriptions to micro.blog for readers of the Weekly Thing (announced in WT304). These folks can then get their blogs going and in January I’m going to share links and introduce each of them. Fun! 🤩🎁🎄
When I decided to get a hot tub one of my buying criteria was making sure I can monitor and control the spa from my phone. Yesterday I got the Bullfrog X8 connected. The app itself isn’t fancy but does the things you need it to do including changing modes and locking the controls.
I was excited to see there is now a watchOS app for Tesla! It can access all car functions and pair as the key to the car. Unfortunately I need to wait for an update to the cars before it will work though. Soon!
Trying Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur for the first time. Delicious! The cream is incredible. The whiskey smooth. Straight from County Cork. Even the bottle is cool. This may ruin me from regular Bailey’s.
The start of a list. Social media is…
- Antisocial
- Totalitarian
- Addictive
- Controlling
Did some work today with my new EGO Power+ 18" chain saw and thought it was awesome. Electric is so much easier for this, and it sliced through logs with no issues at all. Good weight and felt super comfortable to work with.
Nice treasure when I opened my chests from last week’s missions on Famous Fox Federation. By far my favorite NFT project still thriving.
The Magic Pines Retreat is up and running. First time getting to use the spa and sauna.
