Various things recently

A couple weeks ago I went to the eagle scout honor event since I'm an eagle scout and it was the American 250 birthday celebration that my mom's daughters of the revolution group did something with. They had a thing where you could get different revolution activities and one of them was "make a spinner thing," and they didn't have heavy enough wood wheels for the spinners to really spin, so I shared that knowledge with them and they thought it was cool. The event was at a park thing with an old car museum, which was pretty fun. They also had Captain America walking around, so I got a picture with him. Later in the evening was the Eagle charge, and they invited all past Eagles to stand and recite the charge, and it was really cool being the "and if you also achieved this in the past, stand and be recognized as well."

It was also Mother's Day, first one without my grandma and just with my grandma figure, but she's not doing well and has an aneurism that we're just kind of waiting for it to pop. That was kind of sad. We went to Red Lobster which was pretty good for everyone. Also, that morning we were responsible for coffee and donuts that week at church, so that was pretty good.

This weekend I went to my in-laws to try to sell some stuff at their garage sale. I had a bunch of tchotchkes and happy meal toys to sell, and I was able to sell some big things which freed up some good space in my storage area. I got $13.50, and just spent the day getting caught up on some TV shows. Today I went to church and did some VHS converting, and getting stuff put back on the shelves, and put the easy up stuff back away. I also went to a pharmacy that was going out of business and bought a bunch of stuff, and sorting that out also used up a bunch of energy.

Oh, and my wife didn't properly close a bottle of body wash when she put it in the closet, and it made quite a mess. I've been spending the past week cleaning it up, basically just rinsing the soap off of everything and smelling like a Disney princess since it was Disney princess bath and bodyworks soap. Later.

4/10-12/26

This was a surprisingly full weekend. Friday my aunt asked me if I wanted to go to a comedy show she was going to. She bought 3 tickets (1 for her, 1 for my mom, 1 for my dad), but then thought the transaction didn't go through so she bought 3 more. Turns out though that the transaction did go through and now she had 6 tickets. I said "sure, I like stand-up," and he was quite funny. It was Zoltan Kaszas and a guy who sells shirts that say "a comedian can live off selling 4 shirts." I didn't sit with the group, and I could see everything, but my family couldn't. There was a really funny thing with the opening act, he was telling a one liner and the microphone stand fell and you couldn't hear the punch line well. He did a good job playing it off.

Saturday was pretty fun as well. Mskate saw that our theater was playing ET for a rerelease, and we were going to go to the 11AM show, but then there was only an 11AM show on Sunday so we went to the 7PM show later that evening. After realizing the mistake with the movie we went to BJs to get gas and some drinks. For dinner we went to Applebee's on a whim. We did 2 for 25 with the upcharge foods, ribs for me and salmon for her, and mozzerella sticks for the appetizer. The movie was fun, it's a good movie. I would link the review memory that I did when I saw it at the drive in, but I guess I didn't upload that one yet. Mskate hadn't seen it, so she was really happy to see where all the references and music comes from.

Sunday was pretty good. We were in charge of coffee and donuts this week, so that was good. We picked up the donuts and got them all set-up. Then at mass they forgot us in the back for communion, so that was kind of funny. After mass we did some grocery shopping of our own, and got a lot of sales stuff. For dinner I made us an Asian inspired noodle dish. It's rice noodles, soy sauce, onion, steak, and bell peppers; I don't know if this is anything real, but it sure tastes good. I had Sunday Night cartoons again now that The Faithful is finished (of which you can read my review here). Later

2/21/26

This was a fun day. We went to see mskate's best friend and her husband. We went out to lunch at a restaurant that was recommended. It was an Italian place, I had a ruben and pizza, mskate had spinich pasta, and her friends had pizza. It was fun just hanging out with them. We all got along really well. Afterwards we went to see "I Can Only Imagine 2." It was a good movie. I made a small review of it. After that we went to a chuck e cheese in the area. It was really cool, they still had the original pizza time animatronics, they weren't doing the show but they were still out. I made a video of it. They also had some kind of video whack a mole game that was Japanese. Really fun day. Later.
