Seems like a touchscreen Mac may be on the way at least with the latest updates to Sidecar on Mac OS 27 and iPad OS 27. When using an iPad as an external monitor it has full touch capability. Just tried it out and its seamless and well done.

Didn’t the administration say that E15 would be cheaper for Americans?
Then explain why before the switch over in the last few weeks it was cheaper than it is now? By almost .50 cents.
Not surprised since this administration says one thing and does another.

Waiting to board our flight back home from New Orleans.
The plane that’s to arrive so we can board is not even here yet and the gate lice have already started.
Folks it’s assigned seating and there are boarding groups. Even if you’re group one, calm down.

Wife and I spent this evening staring to pack for our upcoming cruise in 10 days. This resulted in realizing I needed to do a good dresser clean out. Found these pants.
Can’t believe how much weight I’ve lost sometimes.

The fun of working in the same office as my wife. We work hybrid office and are not always in the office at the same time.
I come in my an in office day and end up finding treats she has left inside my Lego Piranha Plant on my desk. Or my desk decorated for various holidays. 🤣

Finally hit my goal weight. Now I move to muscle management and building some of that back. It’s there still but I need gain some of the muscle I lost when I started this weight loss journey.
Started at 296 now at 185 pounds. Went from wearing 3XL shirts to a Large.

The smell of a freshly brewed cup of coffee is so nice on Christmas Morning. Nice as I sit and contemplate another year.

Glad to see that @dutchbroscoffee.bsky.social has finally brought back the cup ornaments after like 6 years!
Also glad that the Phoenix Metro locations did the release at 5AM opening instead of 10AM.

Her turning against the base that elected her and becoming a critic of the president and then resigning from congress was NOT on my 2025 bingo card.

If I could find someone or a business to pay me $2,000-2,500 a month for work, I’d be happy. That allows me to pay my two most important bills.

As usual, GM claims they are listening to consumers when they have never asked a single question about Apple CarPlay of one consumer.
To flat out refuse to even include it shows they dont care about what the customer wants, they only want customer data to exploit.

We got a new refrigerator this weekend. While moving them around and plugging one in the garage (on a separate outlet but apparently the same circuit) as our chest freezer it tripped the GFCI which the freezer was plugged into which we didn’t notice until today, well over 24 hours later we noticed 😫

It’s certainly cooler than it says it is but it’s nice this storm just came battling through to end this holiday weekend. I had to rush outside to go cover up the BlackStone. Glad we did our burgers and hot dogs earlier this afternoon
