James smoked a turkey breast in his new smoker today. Pastor shared that he thinks Heaven smells like smoked meats and I think he is right. My dad would be real proud of him and how his first try went.

The two younger boys are at work, and the older boy and Princess are off at Cedar Point to ride the new ride. What's a guy to do except make some homemade pizza and prep some cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow while watching The Rocketeer

I won this sketch of Fortnite's Wookie Team Leader from The Art of Brandon Kenney. She is so ridiculous and wonderful. Now to get it framed and hung on the wall.

Weight Watchers Motivational Post-It for 4-3-2025. Up some this week. Missed last week's workshop dealing with some stuff. Now my goal is 7 pounds in 7 weeks. That is optimistic but I will just have to do my best.

Hit Infinite today with Hela. The deck can feel like autopilot and I did not see many decks teched against it. Was rewarded with a great shop. Bought a Dan Hipp Hell Cow and Lady Sif. Then a Skottie Nightcrawler earning Kang from the album which means I never have to buy him!
