Day 20,156
I have had a Red Dead Redemption/Planet of the Apes mashup on the brain lately, and I want a mod to play as a simian. Space monkeys are great, but I just can’t get enough cowboy apes, maybe because they are so rare.
I got to see the taxidermied gorilla in RDR2 (in the region of West Elizabeth) and the Sasquatch in Tall Trees in RDR, so why not?

Day 20,155
Just a grumpy Apeonaut in a corridor, wondering where his bag of juice is.
Today was a pretty standard Tuesday.
Let’s see, what were the good things about today?
I learned that @hang10iceandcream reopens on Friday (some dandy french fries and Dole Whip in our future)!
I turned off the TV’s auto-smoothing (watching Dinosaur with it on was making me a little dizzy).
I learned the word “judder” – to shake violently or with great force (possibly a mix of “jolt” and “shudder”?).
I found out that Amy is coming back to visit at the beginning of July!
I found a new place to go for walks; I may get out there tomorrow or Thursday.
Pearl snoozed briefly on my head last night. (She usually is Max’s pillow-pal.

Day 20,154
Eclipse day! We didn’t get full coverage, but we got all but a small wedge. Pearl wasn’t worried about the change at all, and we very nearly didn’t get to see anything, but the clouds parted enough to make things viewable just at the final moments of the best parts of the event.
I imagine that all the wood folk and the mountain beasts did just fine.

Hey, do yourself a favor and block anyone who was spreading that nonsense about the eclipse causing a bunch of horrible world-changing events. Okay?
Day 20,153 Assorted bits of today. Pearl in the alpaca, black dog salvage, satin moth at Dunkin’, deer at Sugarloaf Mountain, a visit to Happy Hollow Gardens Park with azaleas. A pretty full day! The in-laws are back at the Bay, so we certainly filled our Sunday up.

Day 20,152 ☀️🌸
A gentle Saturday. We went out with the in-laws and visited the first farmers’ market of the season. We admired all the Kwanzan cherry trees along the way. We picked up a few baked goods from @blacksburgbagels and some lovely plates and bowls from @ishadevinepottery.
Then we returned home to move the old couch out so the new couch could take its place. Pearl is enjoying all the hubbub and a little packing tissue from one of rhe bowls.
The in-laws are likely heading back to the Bay tomorrow morning, so hopefully we can have a little fun before they leave. CB is doing their taxes, so we will reconnect when they are finished. With any luck, that will be before too long.

#cappyspace does brilliant work. I love the green aquatic folks called #Brynelords and #mischievers. Fab sculpts, and I am a sucker for his colors. #glyoscompatible #glyos #modulartoys https://www.instagram.com/p/C5ZcjhFOGio/?igsh=ZHRqeTJkNGIxYzdq
Day 20,151 🌳🌸🌼 Took a little trip to Green Hill park and areas nearby to get some fresh air and look at some of the local flora and fauna. The kwanzan cherry trees and dogwoods were especially lovely, and the bluebell and trillium were in heavy bloom along with a nice dosage of phlox here and there. Of course, we brought the in-laws and @maximillian_deersteak along on the trip. We made sure to stop by @bohobake bakery for some delicious cookies. (The lemon blueberry scones are really yummy.) #naturelover #springtime #outdoors #doodle #salemva #kwanzancherry #apr052024 https://www.instagram.com/p/C5ZMhMTud2a/?igsh=b3RkNm04Z3djcXow
Day 20,150 Pt went well, but still no word on the brace. Going to have to pursue it. Taco salad night with the inlaws, making use of last night’s chili. Spending the evening with crime dramas from the BBC.

Today’s moments of Pearl: exploring the new couch and enjoying sunbeams around the house. Day 20,149 Rough day today, but she and her mother make things less so, thankfully. Chili on baked potato night—added bonus!

Day 20,148
Careful, Icarus… Got our new ottoman and couch today. So far, so comfy!
Pearl hasn’t given it her seal of approval yet, but I’m confident that it will come soon.

Day 20,147 No April fools nonsense caught up with me today, and for that I am thankful. Swung by the doc, and it went reasonably well. Doodled a little grizzled old prospector while I was there, I should give him a donkey. Saw some nice redbuds today, and my first woolybear caterpillar of the season, too.

Day 20,146
Reading some Silver Age comics, I stumbled upon the Spider-Man villain Mysterio (pardon the pun). I realized that I drew his gloves completely wrong; I forgot about the angular-styled gas gloves.
It might be fun to recolor it to make it more of a black light poster. I never did see the Spider-Man movie(s?) that featured him… even though he is in my top three baddies with Sandman and Doc Ock.

Day 20,145
It was dealers choice on the last monster / plant combo, so I went with Mothman Easter Lilies, just because of the region and the season. Another one that could stand more cleanup, but I’m already a day late. 🙂

Day 20,144
I saw a neat picture and figured I’d redraw it in my style.
I think the horses came out okay.
Maybe I’ll give it a few more passes to make it less of a doodle and more of a drawing. I have always preferred a cone beam to a cylinder.
It might be time to go back and play some Red Dead Redemption 2 again.
