With all the amazing computational photography power of an iPhone XS, why can’t it properly expose a picture with a lot of snow? This seems like it should be solvable.

Tonight was the first time since having a 3D printer that I realized something I was thinking of buying I could instead print. ๐Ÿ˜

Snowy drive in this morning. There are 5 lanes somewhere there. โ„๏ธ

Wild hockey game tonight!

We saw A Dog’s Way Home today. It was exactly what you would expect it to be. Good movie, particularly for the dog lovers amongst us.

We played โ€œQuest for the Amulet at Windmere Castle" at Escape MSP Lakeville today. It was a cool room, and we were nowhere even close to solving it when the clock rain out. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Room 26!

Tyler and I played in our first Pokรฉmon friendly tournament today. I’m glad he knows what he’s doing!

Had a majestic bald eagle visit us this morning. Just 50 or so feet away. Surveying the frozen lake, I suspect looking for small animals seeking some open water. There is a natural spring not far from this spot that flows year round.

Tetris 99 on the Switch is amazing! ๐Ÿคฉ So far my highest ranking is #4. I’ve never gotten into Battle Royale games, but I love Tetris, and this is crazy fun. ๐ŸŽฎ

A giant snow pile is a pretty good thing to play soccer with. โ„๏ธโšฝ๏ธ

Little snow isnโ€™t going to keep me from grilling! Big Green Egg time! โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Bit of snow out there.

Big space, and a great respite from the cold and snowy winter.

Watched FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened tonight. I didnโ€™t follow this story when it happened. Unbelievable mess, fraud. ๐ŸŽฌ

Tesla, your HTML encoding is showing. & ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Started reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport tonight. ๐Ÿ“š

Checking out the Life Time Sport at Winter Park. Super cool pick-up soccer for the kids! โšฝ๏ธ
