Went to the zoo while high.

Sibling wanted to go to the zoo, so we rented an electric cart for my husband and the three of us went out. I decided as weed is legal here to do that as well

Turns out physical activity sucks less when high and there's animals to look at also

Soldering. Anyone who tells you it's easy is wrong. :P

Was soldering a mod board to a Sega Mega Drive, but ended up getting solder on the cpu's contacts and needed to get a second one. And it was a pain getting the wires to bind to the traces.

And yes, I probably was doing everything wrong.

Cocaine.

Honestly, I don't see what all the fuss is about. To me it feels like coffee, but it only lasts 15 minutes, tastes like shit, and costs upwards of a testicle and a half where I am. And no, I'm not looking for anyone to try and change my mind on that.

Made hassleback potatoes.

Did a jewelry workshop and crafted myself a silver ring that looked dope af. That was enjoyable.

Tiling a floor

Bought an ebike. I've wanted one for over 10 years, and finally the circumstances were right for me to justify it.

Preserved and framed a 1500-piece puzzle I completed

Bought a book on programming. Have been doing hobby coding for a few decades. Going to dive into a larger project so trying to learn some better practices

Washed a tent.

Moved out of my parents house to live by myself.

Made a wattle and daub wall. It's surprisingly hard to get right.

Took Dilaudid.

Had this really weird extreme pain in my side, felt like I had ruptured something. Ended up in the ER Tuesday. :(

Doc says that it's kind of like appendicitis, but because it's on the left side instead of the right they call it "Epiploic Appendagitis".

Nobody seems to know why it happens, just that it hurts like fuck and isn't dangerous.

Treatment is massive painkillers.

I finally hacked my 3ds, using the tools at https://3ds.hacks.guide. It was surprisingly easy, and gives you access to

• homebrew!
• emulators!
• online play for most games! (see: Pretendo Network)
• custom home screen themes!

I waited until Nintendo shut down their servers 'cause I was worried about bans, but now there's no excuse. Go liberate your 3ds, it takes less than an hour.

Called a tax professional.

I hit a major setback, thought it was going to ruin me, but instead of just accepting the failure and sliding back years in my efforts, I called some friends for support. They both independently told me that I was catastrophizing and not to give up but try assuming I would just sail past the problem and keep going. So I did, and sure enough I recovered really fast and I’m back on track again.

I had my first microwave burrito about two weeks ago. I'm almost 40 and my wife couldn't seem to believe I'd never had one.

Riding my daughter's motorcycle.

Saw Primus. That was pretty dope. I always thought Victor Wooten was the best bass player, but dang, Les Claypool, man.

Does three months count as recent? If so, learning how to make braided bread.

I've been traveling for the last 22 days. I've been to both countries before, so there might be fewer firsts than one might expect.

I did get to see the Large Magellanic Cloud. That was definitely on the list. I crossed into Chilean Patagonia for a day, if only to soak in some hot springs. I got to see Lago Llanquihue, Volcán Osorno, and visited Bariloche. That was all new.

Beyond that, it's mostly details. Where I stayed and such. It's been a fantastic trip.

I'm in Buenos Aires for a couple more days, and there really isn't much I haven't seen before here. It's just nice to be away, relaxing and enjoying all the little differences.

I suppose the big first is that I did all these things sober. I really, really wasn't in that condition 20 years ago. In that respect, it's an entirely different (and for me, a much better) experience.

The college club I'm in made mochi today. Never actually made it before.

All we did was use rice flower, water, and sugar as the core ingredients. I believe something like 6 spoons of the flour and water, and 1 spoon of water. Knead until mixed, until it's like Play-Doh according to the club instructor. Then make 6 mini balls, finally cover and heated in a microwave for a minute.

Was pretty messy and at various times felt like I was rolling mashed potatoes in my hand, but was delicious when it was done. Especially with soybean powder.

First time home buyer, so lots of firsts. First time going on a home search and checking out properties, first time shopping for a mortgage, first time going through contracts and legal documents, first time trying to find an inspector, etc.

Started up a custom PhP forum for a fan base community centered around my favorite board game. Forums are weird

Boat ride amongst Niagra Falls. Day before the total eclipse.

Elderly raising. I have elderly relatives that needed care and I've begun the process of fulltime care at my home. I was told this would be the easy version of being a mom (as if).

This year I went scuba diving for the first time! Also, I did my first job switch, been good so far but I constantly doubt my abilities. Also first time daily driving linux recently 😉
