The "What made you happy today" thread!

Got lucky with stuff coming back to the ESO in-game store, and not only got the missing statues and dro-m'athra target dummy I needed, but got it all at a discount too that I didn't expect, so I could finish the adeptorium I'd been working on the past couple of weeks without possibly having to wait months for these final pieces to do so.

Started my Gromit hunt across my local city today, 15 out of 53 statues and quite a few miles walked to get their pictures and see these statues (for charity), it was worth it as it was a nice day and a good day to go wondering across my local city, I did roughly 17,437 steps today, more than 200%% more than I do normally

I haven't gotten out much since my car was destroyed in an accident two years ago (as if I didn't have enough happen to me that year). One of the things I missed most was this restaurant, because it wasn't on any delivery services. They finally got on Doordash this summer and I am in Heaven. I've gotten this order three times now, and it's perfect every time.

It's ribs, a pork chop, sliced pork, sliced brisket, 1/4 chicken, sausage, fries (two portions, really), the best collard greens, baked beans, and a slice of Texas toast. And two containers of BBQ sauce and a lifetime supply of ketchup packets.

Only $30, and that's including Doordash's service fee, delivery fee, we're just making this up now fee, tax, and tip.

Bread was mid, seemingly undercooked. Turns out the oven is borked... at least we didn't figure it out on thanksgiving this time.

TMM saw posts about MtG FF cards at Costco. Drove 40mins and signed up for a membership only to be disappointed at two separate Costco stores (but the cheap hot dogs were good). Thus we went on a hunt to many stores. One single pack at a BestBuy renewed hope and we carried on to more stores and a mall. Found other stuff but no cards. Just when all hope seemed lost, we decided to try one more Walmart. There, hidden behind a cahier on the card wall, were two 3 booster packs and the Cloud commander deck at regular price. The hunt was successful.

Today's Doordash drives was very enthusiastic and friendly. Such a short, trivial interaction, but I've been thinking about it all day.

I need to get out more.

I think I did close to or over 30 miles on my bike as apart of my Gromit hunt, now standing at 23/53 statues, thou I might of done close to 40 miles, finding those statues was more or less the easy part, it was finding my way home that was apart of the problem due to lack of signage when it came to locating the path back home

It was expensive, but having AC in my car again with this heat can not be over-stated.

Binge reading a manga called Spirt Farmer, its a good story so far, I was originally following through a youtube recap but that stopped a while ago, but yesterday I had the thought to look it up along with another that I was listening to the recap of:

Spirit farmer

Into the Light Again

These are good stories, Into the Light again is espeically good as its the story of a girl/princess who betrayed in one life and excuted for a crime she didn't commit and reborn into another life as a different princess in another kingdom, with her memories intact and she has some trust issues due to what happened in her previous life

Next GW2 expansion announced today,and it looks like my spear-wielding elementalist that rides a nine-tailed fox will be able to get a firey fox familiar with the new specialization coming!

So we finally got a new oven last saturday: and I'm finally getting the time to get some baking done. This new machine has a "proofing" mode, which just set a very low, very stable temperature to proof yeast doughs.

So I'm making bread!


AAAAwwwwww yeah! Compared to the runty loafs I made last time... perfection.

*yoink*

Gonna need some turkey, bacon, roast beef, tomatoes and lettuce over here!

 

[wonko the sane?]

Sounds good but the tomatoes...

OOOOhhhh, some nice strong cheddar on it... A little dijon mustard...

Edit: I also managed to finish the OTHER job of the day, getting under the back deck with the entrenching tool and releveling the land from the installation of the french drains.

I don't know how they managed to dig ten of thousands of miles of trenches with those damn things: But I am certain they did not do it while wearing shorts and sandals.

A commission that had been in progress for two and a half months was just finished, and I can see why it took the artist that long! Just waiting for the full size version, then I'll share the postable size.
