So I've found some busts of Data and Picard from TNG. I have the dumbest idea to take these, turn them into molds, and make concrete spitters out of them for our backyard pond

Roasting

So, last week, we put some plants in the pond, but woke up the next day to find them all shredded and the fountain pump stuff pulled out of the water.

I put up a camera and caught the pond bandit last night ๐Ÿฆ

Like, part of me wants to be mad - those plants weren't free and they keep pulling up the cords & hoses to the waterworks - but it looks like they're having a lot of fun?

One of the things that the bandit really like messing with is the floating skimmer I threw in there. I could imagine that thing collects a bunch of edible tasty goodies, must be like a buffet bucket

@Alairthephoenix Yeah, this Behmore roaster is pretty much a fancy toaster oven with a rotating drum inside. Can handle about a full pound of beans at once, pretty easy to get the hang of.

me: "Huh, I'm getting very cranky."
my office: *is 90ยบF / 32ยบC*
me: "I wonder what's up?"
my water bottle: *is full of undrunk ice water*
me: "I guess I'll never know. Grr."
