Monday Evening Open Thread: Backyard Work Edition

by Alxala

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I’ve been too busy having a good time playing some community servers in TF2. Either way, today’s weather was really nice this evening. I decided to continue my yard work mission in our backyard with a red-handled screwdriver from our tool shed in the garage, and I used it to pull up a lot of unwanted weeds scattered in different locations from yesterday and today. Then I placed all the weeds into the compost pile used for gardening afterwards.

It sure was fun trying to pulling up weeds off the ground, especially crabgrass because those are really hard to get. Oh, and speaking of weeds, here’s a picture of another seeding dandelion that I found in our backyard next to the chain-like fence between our backyard and our neighbors’:

This seeding dandelion I found is two feet tall, and it has a lot of tiny parachute seeds that form a white good-sized puffball just like the previous one that I found almost three weeks ago:

Yep, I sure love those kind of weed flowers so much. 🙂

Some TF2 Achievement Hunting

by Alxala

Been playing around some more community servers in TF2 lately, and I managed to obtain four achievements from yesterday. This first one I’ve got is the one for smashing an enemy’s head with your guitar as Engineer just like in this screenshot:

I have defeated that Heavy by smashing his head with my acoustic guitar. 😛

This next achievement I have unlocked is the one for blowing up an enemy with the grenade taunt kill from the Equalizer as Soldier:

Not only did I get this achievement, I also unlocked another one somehow for killing an enemy with the Equalizer before I land or just after landing while rocket jumping.

And last but not least, the last achievement I’ve got is the one for providing an enemy player with a freeze cam of myself doffing my hat as Sniper, except I wasn’t wearing a hat. I had my blonde hair on instead:

So yeah, I’ve had a great time scoring those achievements in-game. 🙂

The City Dump Goats (My 1st YouTube Video of the Year)

by Alxala

YAAAAAYZ! I finally uploaded my first YouTube video of the year since it’s been a very long time. Last week my Dad and I went out to a local dump to throw away all our garbage, and I found two “recyclers” doing their jobs and minding their own business:

Wednesday Evening Open Thread

Yesterday my Dad and I decided to go to the dump and finally got all of our old electronics inside a trailer full of those. Then we threw a plastic bag of pinecones, some broken doghouse parts and all the other garbage into a large dumpster. We were so happy that all the junk is gone for good. 😀

Anyways, I have been working out back with my Dad earlier this afternoon. We were just sifting through piles as we search for more twigs, large pieces of tree bark and the last of the pinecones and throwing into them into a pile that can be used for burning. So tomorrow we will get the rest our work done in the backyard and we will have a wonderful garden back there. 🙂

And now for no reason at all, here’s another animated TF2 picture that I created using Shotcut:
