Dad Lunchbox Joke of the Day: What did the doctor say to the patient after surgery? Show more
Morning Mastodonians! Amazing I don't do this on the weekends, but I hardly even get to the keyboard, even to play games! Graduation party coming up, so the "Honey Do" list is a mile long and 3 miles wide. Spent the 103˚F afternoon yesterday emptying the pool to get ready for a new liner. That was fun. Now I just need to get the new cord for the pressure washer so I can start hosing things down. Ah, the life of a home owner and parent...
Still in iOS land. Ugh.

Morning Mastodonians! A little late today, busy with bill paying (it's payday!), and putting the final touches on my big iOS change (fingers crossed).
Just posted a great new song by Illuminati Hotties called Patience on my music blog: https://www.vehementflame.com/2018/06/illuminati-hotties-patience.html - give it a listen!
I'm enjoying one of the games I got for Father's Day - The Colonists, altho I can see how AP can strike. Wish I could just find the time to sit down and play it. Maybe I can play while watching the World Cup tomorrow?
Morning Mastondonians! We're already getting some cracking good thunderstorms and it promise to be humid and rainy all day. Good day to stay at the keyboard.
We finished up Borderlands Prequel last night. It's pretty much a grind and everyone was glad to see it finished, TBH. Now we have to figure out what to play next. 4 player co-ops aren't exactly common.
Still struggling with iOS and blocking main threads. Ugh. Need to work on a test app to figure it out.

Morning Mastodonians! Haven't been sleeping well. Slow to fall off, waking up too often and sometimes not falling back to sleep. Which is odd for me, as sleep isn't normally a problem. Sure impacts my productivity, esp. in the afternoon! Monster Energy can only do so much.
Well, my bud and I finished Saints Row III. Pretty fun, even if the ending was bizarre. Now onto SR IV.
Tonight, back to 4 player Borderlands: Prequel.
Played some more Blackguards as well. Pretty fun.

"iPhone is disabled.
Try again in 14,864 minutes"
Ha! That's 10 days from now...
Pretty spectacular World Cup game between Brazil and Costa Rica. I'm usually a big underdog rooter, but Brazil deserved that win. Costa Rica worked very hard, but Brazil worked harder and finally came through.
Woo wee - prepare for steamy ahead! @st_vincent remakes her own "Slow Disco" song from Masseduction by giving it a real steam disco treatment. Fantastic!

Morning Mastodonians! Finally got the Craigslist ad for our camper ready and posted. It's sad to sell it but we just don't use enough to justify the expense. If you're interested in a wonderful family camper (sleeps 11!) check it out here: http://bit.ly/2yrV01A
Favorite World Cup goal from yesterday? Modic's blast from beyond the penalty area. I don't understand why they don't try that more. Most annoying thing? Signaling you get the throwin when it is obviously off you.
Back to iOS. Ugh.
We're selling our camper in Maine, if you're interested. Sleeps 11, fantastic family camper: http://bit.ly/2yrV01A

Just posted this lovely atmospheric goth indie rock song on my Vehement Flame music blog: Indian Queens - Pretty Little Things https://shar.es/anKHRm
Morning Mastodonians! Had a pretty good time playing Borderlands: The Prequel with 3 of my buddies online. It's a bit of a grind, so we're trying to skip as many of the side missions as possible to "finish" the game, but I think we've pushed it as far as we can without a bit of side leveling up.
My wife & I are watching The West Wing with a friend who comes over to play co-op later. He's in NYC, so we're using Netflix Party to watch together. Not too bad. Quite the cliffhanger last night!
Pretty much sums up the children hostage situation, if you ask me:

Morning Mastodonians! I made it out for another bike ride today. Hope it doesn't take me two days to get over it like the last one, even though I did go another loop today: http://rnkpr.com/ajkxk3a
I'm going to miss having the World Cup on tv in the background. Still, a couple more weeks with plenty of footy on the telly.
1 bug fixed, 3 more reported for the iOS version. I shall never get out of Apple Mobile hell, I don't think. Esp. annoying to fight with threads while doing it.
