The "What made you happy today" thread!

Spent the day out in the province. Actually, we never went more than say 150 klicks from home, but... it's almost an entire other world. We went to a site near the american border with vermont called stanstead, and visited the standing stones. We hit up a bazar, the church garage sale right next door, a nice little cafe built into an old farm house. From the cafe got a nice lead on an artisanal dairy farm; and went and got some high quality, fresh from the farm milk and cheese (and the goat cheese... it's to die for.).

Then we took the long way home up the old highway. Took an age, but the vistas were worth it. We passed like four separate lakes, and went through some long standing small towns and villages.

And magog. But that's neither here nor there.

After a bad start to the day due to some mail issues that almost cost me my SS86 Perceptor/Ramhorn(not the post office's fault) that meant I had to drive 20 minutes to the main office to get it, the two RPG game sessions tonight really put me in a much better mood.

The first one was my normal campaign - we're about a year and a month into it. and a nice party chat , some shenanigans, the usual, though we had to leave off in the middle of a fight. Then the second one was a GM trying out a new system, but funnily enough the majority of it ended up being from that first group as well!

We were trying out Nimble, a more rules-light mish-mash of 5e and Pathfinder. A confrontation in the local tavern caused an encounter to happen far sooner than the DM had planned, and then my gnoll druid-type character critted one of the goblins to death with a stew bowl as her first action, sending it flying out the door. (Followed by two more through the windows with a wind spell)

I was checking my stocks this morning while listening to the news: and during a segment about the upcoming market crash... I bought some more shares of AMC. It cost me 150 bucks cad... but I now have a meme number for my meme stock.

I rode back to my local city to pick up some more Gromits and do some pick up shots, so I did about 35 miles today and only got lost once for a few moments, but quicky found my way to where I was going so it wasn't like last time where I ended up miles off course, poor signage is to blame for that as the city council seem to presume that you know the area! So I have only three more to go and they are outside of the city area and would take a while to get to on bike, but they make up what called the northern trail

I thought my spaghetti sauce was bland but the aftertaste is really nice. I'll need to keep experimenting but I must be on the right track.

This is the best kind of trial and error. I'm going to have a fun week.

I finally nailed it! It turns out that all I needed was more salt. I was afraid it would make everything just taste like salt, but instead it just woke up all the other flavors.

Just watched a clip of a guy driving a bit recklessly inside of a Airport in the US:

Why it makes me happy, not sure, its just kind of bemusing to watch as the guy drives it along

There is a line where salt goes from "Hey lads! Follow me!" while holding up a tattered battle flag to "How's my boot taste, bitch!?!" while curb stomping your arteries and electrolyte levels.

Rewatching: Walace and Gromit, Vengence most FOWL, entertaining film still and well worth watching, highly recomend it as its just a comedy, yet done in stop motion and a barrel of laughs

Watched K-Pop Demon Hunters. I had to pause the movie at one point b/c I was laughing so hard.

Completed another day of Gromit hunting and photogathed all of the statues, so all 53 have been bagged and a couple of bonus ones to boot, so all that remains is something that popped up at the city museum which I'll do later in the week, after that, its going to the Greatest Dog show 3, which is all of the statues coming together for about two weeks prior to being sold off for charity and I've already booked my tickets to see all of these statues together!
