Went back to play the story in #STO these days-I forgot how rough this writing is. Telling the player their doing it wrong, ordering them around as a servant, story off screen, lore off screen, action off screen, with a plot that can be described as a first draft. #StarTrekOnline #BestLaidPlans
A realistic model of a human heart. The plan is to replace the upper left quadrant (the aortic arch area) with gears and machinery. I survived an aortic aenyrism in October of 2020. My aortic arch was replaced by a mechanical one. I low-key tick, like the crocodile from Peter Pan.
An artistic rendering of gears in two major colors presented in perspective, that is flipped, would be a close fit to the upper left quadrant. It will make a great reference for the drawing for my eventual painting.
When I was a kid, my step dad had a Weimeraner (sp) named Duchess. She got Parvo. And my step dad took me, the dog and a rifle to the desert to show me how to be a man. Years later, my very first malamute, rescued from a kennel, was dying. When my step dad tragically died, I inherited that .308 rifle. I took my dog into the woods. I no longer own guns. There are things we do, or, that are done to us, that take bites out of our souls.
The blue valve and tube above the left chamber if the heart..... It exploded. I am 52. Some of the bites, have been deep. I am trying to fill those bites.... With paint.
Laying some plans for an oil painting down the road.

5am radio weather forecast is clear, showers pushing in from the west later.
So I plan invigorating walk up Ingrebourne hill.
Dawn brings gale force winds and torrential rain.
Walk cancelled. So much for forecasts. 🤣

We were supposed to leave at dawn today and we are still packing the car 🫣
I laugh as not to cry. 🤣. #bestlaidplans
It sure feels like a plausible endgame. Whether it really happens or not is more dependent on Murphy's Law than anything.
And remember: Murphy was an optimist.
Elect a Mob Boss, expect a shakedown. #BestLaidPlans etc.

A photo of an onion that has sprouted multiple green stalks out of the original bulb.
yesterday's fantasy: "Sure, I've still got one onion left in the cupboard that I can throw in a stew tomorrow.
today's reality: "Omigod WTF! I've had a baby Cthulhu head sprouting in my kitchen for the last couple weeks."
Sigh. Off to the market this morning […]

I’m glad I did because it turns out power was out for 6 hours! In the heat wave. No thank you. 
On a positive note, my dinner was ice-cream. I couldn’t let it melt!

An embroidery hoop holds a nearly completed cross-stitch piece on white Aida cloth. The design features two colourful birds: one orange and yellow with pink outlining, and one dark blue with yellow accents. They are surrounded by three stitched flowers in red, pink, and yellow, with green stems and leaves. A black clip and orange floral fabric are attached to the top of the hoop.
The best laid plans said I’d finish my sampler. Reality said “nah, #stitch some blobs.” Turns out, those blobs were #birds all along! Not a single regret. Bright colours, happy accidents, and a detour I’d take again. #crossstitch #wip #needlework #bestlaidplans #flosstube #craftchaos #fibreart

Bear with me. The Denatured Alcohol normally arrives in a blue can; not the yellow can pictured below. In an attempt to prevent confusion, a well-meaning soul labeled it thusly. #work #workplaceculture #workplacehumor #funny #bestlaidplans #goodintentions
