Welp, with the new policies around here, I’m not gonna be posting as much. Will still be around and will answer @ messages and such, but new posts will be few and far between. Find me at the links in my profile. Happy Independence Day, y’all!

Proof of life.

Also, do you know what Dracula named his car?
Vlad the Impala.

@STADIUMARCADIA @vegasstarfish Is that how I got COVID?

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@_girlgrey Same. I'm gonna miss this place, but the death wobble's been here for close to a year now. :(

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

Proof of life: today's earworm is "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne. Hopefully it's now yours, too.

@STADIUMARCADIA @smxp @startrekcon @starfleetmom @GeekyLawGal Thank y’all for a fun time! Really enjoyed dinner, and the whole trip. 🖖🏻

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@_girlgrey LMK if you need a handyman and IT guy. :)

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@_girlgrey Well, I mean… you know how to get there too… 😉

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@_girlgrey I’ve got $24.12 coming via the same path. Hell yeah, Vegas here we come.

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@STADIUMARCADIA Thank you!

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@_girlgrey Thank you! Had a late Brazilian BBQ lunch with family and now I’m suffering from both meat sweats and food coma at the same time. About to start the day drinking portion of today’s program.

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@_girlgrey That looks amazing. Have a second one for me cause it's my bday! ;) Enjoy!

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@_girlgrey I do a half-way engineer’s approach. I have three towels on the rack. Sniff test last-used towel before each shower, rotate towels as needed. Some weeks are worse than others, LOL. All towels are washed during weekend laundry.

Poor car there is pretty jacked up. I think it might buff out tho.

VR Cam caught some spectacular footage as #SuperHeavy rocked #SpaceX #Starbase this morning. I am floored at the amount of debris that was ejected. Waiting on Rover 2 damage assessment. Congratulations @elonmusk on pulling this historical launch!

Here's the pitch for the midseason Captain Seven #StarTrekPicard spin-off episode. After running the 10 Forward Bar program continuously for a year the holodeck becomes sentient and it is obsessed with #TedLasso. The USS Titan crew must beat AFC Richmond to regain ship control

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

@garethgreenaway Buddy, that cost me $22. Sigh.

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

Because of course I would break the craps machine. Again. So much for the lil streak.

[Bill Childers @wildbill]

Reno, I am in you.
