In parenting and Costco news… Apparently it’s well known that Costco’s Kirkland (house brand) diapers have the best quality to value ratio. WELL, Huggies has decided to get out of the white label business to focus on being a premium brand. And it must be a winning strategy because the new Costco diapers SUCK and we’re moving to huggies.
Yo, morgen frei & mit der Jüngsten übers Wochenende nach #Wien!
Good morning my little poolside cheap seats. Swimming lessons are underway so time for a close listen of the new Lorraine James joint.
Continued thread
Following up on this old toot. We ended up getting a G4 Instant and adding it to our Ubiquiti system. I’m powering it with a USB power bank and unplugging when not needed. It has two-way audio and I’m more inclined to trust Unifi than some rando baby monitor that is unlikely to get regular security updates.
Bonus: I like that the camera has other uses for when a monitor isn’t needed. Like spying on the dogs, or chickens.
Watched Kubo and the Two Strings with the boys. The end credits feature Regina Spektor's amazing cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. They couldn't name the song but both recognized the riff so I am claiming partial credit #DadOps

Had a quiet afternoon today. So I went through five of our family’s bikes, cleaned and lubed the chains, and made a few small repairs here and there. One kid got a new saddle.
Kid1 (he’s 13) needs new athletic shoes. So we get to the store and the foot measurement thing says he needs 12.5. But they don’t make that size. So he needs 13s. But he doesn’t like any because “they are too long.” 
I love this dude.
I tried to get the boys to go shoot hoops at the local school playground. by the time i got them out the door it started pissing down rain. So now they're doing their best in the covered area while I sit in the car and cough up a lung (thanks, pneumonia). #DadOps
#KEXP keeping me company though -- Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School, and Bette Davis holding it down.
We played Wyrmspan this morning; it is almost but not quite Wingspan, with a very satisfying resource engine mechanic. I might like it more? The birb theme is better tho. #boardgames
How's 2025 treating you so far, fedi friends?
Sometimes, when I know my teen is within earshot, I loudly yell "let's goooo!" at whatever I'm doing.
Just got 15 minutes out of "how many holes does a straw have" #DadOps
Nobody told me #DadOps would be like this

It's spooky season, and it's Kung Fu Movie Thursday, so you know what that means: it is time for ZU WARRIORS FROM THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN, motherfuckers!

watched Three Amigos! with the boys. Afterwards I asked them what they thought. they said "Everyone was SO stupid!" "Yeah it was like the guards in Month Python and the Holy Grail but if they were everybody!"
Fair.
