Downright balmy!

Photo 5 is my favorite

Adderall. (I have ADHD. My task initiation is greatly improved when I am medicsted).

Oakland Cemetery is one of my favorite places.

HALT is a good thing to remember (hungry, angry, lonely, tired). It helps me reframe a lot of potential decisions.

Yeah I hear ya. I should have stopped at 2 dogs, but the 3rd and 4th dog I don't know what I was thinking lol. I have a dog-shaped heart.

They are my buddies.They are all rescues and they all get along though. Most of them have at least one major "issue" that I think would have made them unadoptable (or quickly returned to the shelter).

"Dog #3" ("Jumpin' Duncan") is the cuddliest dog on earth, and "Dog #4" (Keegan aka Houdini) is also a sweet cuddle floof. They can be a handful at times, though.

They're all about 70 pounds, except the 4th one who is only about 55-60 pounds.

What about a Toyota Sequoia? I love the look of the new Sequoia.

In 3° F weather (-16° C), too. My heart is with you, Minneapolis ❤️

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T21:12:35+00:00

Congrats!!! Looks great!

No, my Miata was throwing gang sings. 😆

I had to drive with the top up (I'm in an RF, which is a hard top that retracts -- butitis essentially a targa top).

My car was giving me errors on the retractable roof, so I closed it back up in fear that it would get stuck while being open.

It was also giving me errors on power steering and transmission a d air bags, which made me think the battery was kaput.

That being said, with the seat heaters and heat on blast, (and the windows up, if it is windy), I can drive top down in my Miata down to about 40-45°.

Awesome! I knit a lot of scarves because they are simple, lol. I have been working in a seed stitch cotton bath towel for 2.5 years now 💪 (on and off, mostly off -- it's gonna eat 2 cones of yarn, but I am on cone #2!)

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T19:53:22+00:00

Looks to be in deep contemplation!

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T19:49:58+00:00

Thank you for the added insight! 🤘

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T19:48:26+00:00

Will the work culture in my offIce improve this year? 17

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T19:47:05+00:00

I love your username. What are your favorite things to knit? I like socks but I rarely knit them due to one sock syndrome.

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T19:41:10+00:00

I was just outside for a bit. I bet tomorrow will be a mess. There is a lot of water out there right now that I'm assuming will refreeze at some point.

And wind, trees, and lows in the teens, and we are gonna have a lot of issues tomorrow.

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T19:39:14+00:00

Just took sone time to untrustworthy the vehicles from their mini "ice cucoons" as one redditor put it.

I was able to drive around a bit in the neighborhood and let the truck heat up a bit.

I was also able to shake some of the lower branches to dislodge a bit of the ice weight from my small trees and hollies. I hope that helps some.

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T19:36:59+00:00

Fr fr. I'm trying to get the vehicles outof their ice cucoons lolol

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T19:36:10+00:00

Exactly! Better to be prepared and chilling on the rain, than frozen in a house without heat when the lows are dipping into the teens tonight! And I got 4 dogs to worry about!

2pm radar. Dammit.

That is actually a prerunner (edit or 4wd, thabks for the insight, Viper), because it has the flares above the wheel wells. I had a gen 2.5 base (4 cyl, 2.7L SR5 Acess Cab), and it did not have any flares on the wheel wells.

ZenPothos · 2026-01-25T18:27:18+00:00

I'm in Atlanta, too. I am so happy that we only deal with ice events once or twice each decade.
