Early Morning Snaps, Hockey, and Netflix

Kaylin sent the cutest snaps of her and Renny up bright and early today—5:30 a.m.! That alone felt ambitious. I made coffee fed Harley and scrolled Instagram for a bit.

After coffee and his usual laptop peruse, S was off to hockey by 10 as I was getting out of the shower. I spent a bit of time playing with ChatGPT animations and had a few good laughs—always a bonus way to start the day.

There is another trending ChatGPT creations happening and I had to try it. This photo is so funny but the extreme caricature one is super hilarious. Ask me to show you sometime.

 

Refining it a bit had yet another funny red mud face Harley but removing it was just right.

The photo based on is on the right.

Google gemini created these 2 variations

I just noticed it even changed Kaylin's dress and removed B's watch

I worked on the family tree over on Ancestry, then headed outside in the blustery but sunny +14 weather to toss a bale of hay into twelve piles. Harley's given a treat of lung and ribs afterward and was very pleased with her treats.

microwave in the daylight.. is a bit smaller for sure

Laundry was thrown in, and then it was back to work—Tuesday's blog post, writing the sales ad for the stained shelf, and finishing the full tutorial. Once it was ready, I published it, shared all the details with the paint company, and posted it across the paint sites and other places for exposure.

S was back around 3:30, having picked up Cooper and groceries after hockey and his McDonald’s coffee crew stop. Once everything was unloaded, we had a beer and took the dogs for a walk. Back in the garage, I fed the dogs and coached S through staining his deer mount boards.

Another cold beer followed, then taco supper prep. I finished and published yesterday’s blog while S continued poking around on his laptop. He then headed out for a hot tub soak before we settled in to watch Miracle on Ice, the documentary about the 1980 U.S. men’s Olympic hockey win.

B stopped out just as it started, so I went to chat with her for a bit before she fed and headed home. After the movie, I made yogurt bowls and we started the new season of Lincoln Lawyer. I didn’t make it very far into the second episode before calling it a night.
