More Knockdown Furniture
We got another chair—for the master bedroom closet. It’s called the Jasmine Chair. It came with all assembly hardware and other parts. This one was a 15-minute assembly job, which amazed me. However, there were sharp staples protruding from the upholstery, so you have to watch out for them.

More New Juggling Balls!
I just got the other set of new juggling balls. They have Iowa Hawkeye colors and a polyurethane coating that could make them more durable. They’re 2.5 inches in diameter and weight 130 grams.

Lost Juggling Ball Found!
I lost one of my new juggling balls temporarily this morning while trying the behind the back throw. OK, so I dramatized the video a little. That’s because I got interrupted in the search to help Sena hang our new wall clock. I had no idea where that ball was. I even considered a wormhole…

New 12 Panel Juggling Balls!
I got one of the two new sets of juggling balls today. They are the Zeekio 12 panel, 67 mm, 130 gm balls, which are noticeably heavier and a little harder to do certain tricks with-like the behind the back throw. I dropped them several times, so they are getting broken in very well!

Xylazine More About Death Than the Walking Dead
The recent news stories about xylazine-adulterated fentanyl (also known as Tranq) describe it as turning users into zombies because it causes skin necrosis. This can lead to abscesses which may require amputations. Even more important, it can kill users. Xylazine, which is an animal tranquilizer (hence the name “Tranq”) is said to be available for…

Ugly Juggling So Far
I thought I’d make a video on the progress I’ve made so far in the last 4 months with ugly juggling. Man, it’s ugly; I’m still lunging and grabbing and making faces. But I’m also getting a real good workout. Psychiatric Times recorded my After Hours video via Zoom this morning. It won’t look like…

Jim on a Winning Streak on the Bigfoot Cribbage Board
Ever since we got the Bigfoot cribbage board, I’ve been winning. If you believe in lucky streaks, I’m on one. However, Sena wins most of the time when we play on the jumbo cribbage board. Is it the Bigfoot cards? Is it the Bigfoot pajamas? Sena was so overwhelmed she put her house slippers on…

Iowa Snowstorm Aftermath
We got 10.5 inches of snow from the storm yesterday, according to National Weather Service statistics. It was in the single digits and about 3 below zero with the wind chill this morning. We had to shovel one more time. It was slippery because there was ice on the driveway and sidewalk underneath the snow.…

Fluffy or Heavy Snow Tomorrow?
We’re going to get another several inches of snow tomorrow. Whether it’ll be a heavy, wet or fluffy snow is apparently up for debate among weather forecasters. We definitely got the heavy stuff last week. I made great snowballs for juggling. We’re going to be shoveling it, fluffy or heavy and wet. Sena noticed I…

Our New Front Door
We got a brand-new front door today. Of course, because the old one had to be removed, it got a little chilly in the house. We didn’t mind because the new door is handsome and has pearl privacy glass. We were always a little uncomfortable with the clear glass sidelight and door windows on the…
