I keep getting very close to winning as Sardack N'orr. Yesterday's 4 player game ended round 6 with NRA scoring 10 points on Initiative 1, and everyone else already being at 9 points. If I had been able to get thier home system, I could have won as I was next in order to score a public objective. I had already gotten all 3 secret objectives.

I ended up in an outrageously rich slice and stolen several key planets from my neighbors. Leading to me being maxed out in Command tokens and successfully researching both my faction techs as I got the Tech skip Artifact.

The Argent Flight and Nekro Virus both had 2 warsuns at the start of the final round, all of which fell on Mecatol Rex. (4 players games are wild, Argent had them round 3)

My pawpaws saplings I planted last fall are still alive!

They have started budding leaves. I know I'm a few years away from fruit production but I am curious if anyone has found good ways to attract pollinators outside of rotting meat. Not sure the city would be very excited about that prospect.

I am considering making a native carion flower plant garden near the trees to make area more attractive to pollinators prior to the pawpaws flowering. Was wondering it anyone else had tried that idea. I've found 3 somewhat promising options in my area of Ohio.

These seem to be an especially symbiotic options https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_sessile https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_erectum

And this could be grown if you have a bog garden https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplocarpus_foetidus

I've just got Shriek Week and Unsleeping City season 2 left. Its been a long and very fun haul.

I orginally started watching Fantasy High on youtube when I was bedridden from Covid in 2022. And shortly after that, I got the dropout subscription so I could consume Sophmore year. I even got my girlfriend sucked in, Im very excited for the premier of next season next week.

You may remember me from last year posting about my first day skiing, well no worries, I'm here to stay.

So far I've skied 9 days this season. 5 days at Perfect North 4 days at Caberfea

At the end of last season I bought brand new boots and some used skis, they've been great. They've almost paid for themselves in saved rental savings alone.

I've made some serious gains this season in skills. I can now carve on purpose and hockey stop.

Went to Michigan New Years week, the only week without snow, and skied in some real awful conditions. Didnt ski Saturday or Sunday because it was raining, went Monday for some real Mashed Potato snow, tuesday got cold and it firmed up, wednesday was Dust on crust, which turned into a surprise 7" overnight into excellent conditions for Thursday, because with the humidity, Wednesday night was finally cold enough for making snow. But like always, a bunch of days in a row skiing is always a big level up.

I've now hit all intermediate terrain at Perfect North, and I hit Canyon at Caberfea. I'm hoping to do a trip to West Virginia in February and do my first real Mountains. I'm still working on my angulation, and getting my body downhill. Pole plants really help with it, but the steeper the terrain the harder it is to make myself do it lol.

I think I'll spend the rest of this season building my confidence, and maybe tackle some Black Diamonds when I get more comfortable with the steeper terrain.

My Vantage 75c's are starting to chatter on me, at higher speeds. Will likely take it in for a tune soon and see if that solves the issue or if I need new skis. Im looking at the Maverick 86c or 88Ti. I'm hoping to cut weight this off season, but right now I'm 5' 11" and 260 pounds. Waiting until the ski swap next fall may be the correct option.

Anyways, thanks for reading my rant about this season. What have been up to this season?

Its a bit potato, I made it on my phone. Feel free to make improvements.

Should I be concerned that Duo is coming for me?

I'm going to Caberfea Peaks in Michigan, December 27th to January 3rd.

My local hill of Perfect North probably won't be open before then, the forecast looks awful.

Me and my gf were rolling basically the whole episode. I really hope additional episodes keep this same quality.

Season 1 was so good, and I love that they're incorporating the growing dice from Never Stop Bloeing Up, based on the BTS commentary.

I'm currently hunting down pawpaw trees, Blueberry bushes, black raspberry, and other native fruits for my garden.

Looking for suggestions.

I looked into black cherries, but they get too large and too easily wind damaged for the proximity I'd have to plant them to my house.

I've made it my mission to get banned from NextDoor while trolling the MagaHats. They won't stop sending me notifications. I've been stealing memes from the https://lemmy.world/c/shermanposting group.

So far I'm more or less been allowed to run rampant, so here are some of the hits.
