The inside of an espresso machine and my hand holding spare parts

It’s super satisfying to open up this espresso machine and replace a couple of parts. This steam assembly wasn’t right, but the steam knob stem was perfect and made a huge, immediate improvement. The utterly precise fit of the components is so impressive.

My son just referred to my bookshelf of CDs as my “old timey music collection” so I’m dead now.

Instagram keeps showing me an ad for a dog camera that I can view through an app. The app can also be used to remotely eject a dog treat for her to eat, and can you imagine how rapidly my dog would demolish that thing when left alone with it?

We got downtown yesterday for some shopping and a walk in the wintery weather after our big storm on Friday. 📷

🎮 My kiddo has watched me play a lot of Destiny 2 and this week we decided he was big enough to start up his own Guardians. I have to say it has been pretty fun and special to watch him start his Hunter, work through the first missions and then dive into playing with me.

More from Thanksgiving: Pirate Bomb paired wonderfully with our cheese plate. 🍺🧀

Photo of roasted sweet potatoes

Just snapped a photo of a journal page from last Thanksgiving, saved it to a Day One entry so I could caption it, printed it, cut and taped it into my current journal as a Thanksgiving reflection for this year. So that’s what I’m up to tonight, apparently.
