“Kiki Fueled Up” Cedar Park, 2025
Kiki, my 2007 BMW F650 GS, and I went out for a quick spin to fuel up. It wasn’t a long ride, but it felt great to zip around the neighborhood for a bit. Even short rides always put me in a good mood!
Later in the afternoon, my son and I went to see Tron: Ares, which had plenty of awesome motorcycle scenes – both real ones and the new+classic light-cycles. It was such a cool movie! The original Tron was one of my favorite films growing up, so it was a real treat to see those old-school computer graphics make a return for a few scenes.

“Notebooks” Cedar Park, 2025
So I posted a couple of days ago about finishing a notebook and decluttering. It was just in time too, because my wife brought me back the cutest notebook from Japan. It’s got a cat resting on a toast pillow, just like Yuzu does! How funny is that?
Well, that’s two steps forward, one back, as far as the decluttering of the notebooks goes. But I’ll take it!

“Finished Muji Notebook” Cedar Park, 2025
I finally filled up my little A6-sized Muji notebook that I bought years ago! I’d just finished another one I’d been using for my morning pages, so I grabbed the Muji next – turns out it only had a few pages left. A couple of days later, done! That makes two notebooks finished (and out of my life) in one week. I still have a few more blank ones waiting for their turn, but I’m definitely making progress on my notebook decluttering mission!
“Fried Rice, Gyoza, and Shumai” Cedar Park, 2025
Tonight I whipped up another big batch of Spam fried rice and steamed some frozen gyoza and shumai on the side. It turned out to be a quick and satisfying dinner. This time I tossed in some corn and peas, and honestly, it made the fried rice even tastier than before.

“Double-Decker” Cedar Park, 2025
Happy National Taco Day! We marked the occasion with a mini taco feast from our local Taco Bell. My favorite is the double-decker taco — a crunchy corn shell tucked inside a soft flour tortilla, held together by refried beans. Whoever came up with that combo deserves an award!
