Car repair

 Hello everyone,

Yes, I know it's been AGES since I have posted. My secretary is.. well, basically non-responsive lately. *sigh* Anyways,  I guess I will have to post my own blogs from now on.

Recently, I noticed that my beloved little red car (which I won 11 years ago on the Price is Right), was looking a bit run down.

I brought it to my mechanic, Koko, to have him take a look.

"Koko, the tires look flat and seem to be peeling," I said.

"Ah yes, they do look a bit worn out," he replied.

"And I see the bumper has some damage to it also. Did anyone hit you?" he asked.

"Not that I recall," I said. "The paint seems to be peeling all over for some reason!"

"Even the steering wheel is peeling!" I said.

"Ah, well, sometimes this car's finish has been known to peel in very warm temperatures. You should store it in a temperature-controlled room," Koko said.

"Hmm..well it's too late now," I replied. "Can you do anything to fix it?"

"Fix it? Of course I can! That's how KOKO'S KARS has been in business for over 20 years. We're the best in the business. Over 10,000 positive reviews on Yelp. We'll have you repaired in no time," he said.

Do you think he can fix it?

Bird feeder, part 2

A while ago, I put together a bird feeder. Let's hang it up!

This feeder has a suction cup. Let's put it on the front door.

I'll put some crackers in it as a treat.

Now it's all set for visitors. I wonder how long it will be before our first visitor?

FIVE MINUTES LATER...

Hey, do you hear something at the door? Yes, it looks like a bird! We have our first visitor to the bird feeder.

Hey, wait a second.. actually, this bird looks beary familiar... could it be?

I went outside to take a closer look. Why, yes! It was.. Miss Feathers!

"OM NOM NOM NOM!" she sounded very hungry.

"Miss Feathers, is that you?" I asked.

"Oh, hello Ajdin!" she chirped. "Excuse me for stuffing my face just now."

"Miss Feathers, it's been so long! Come inside and let's catch up!" I said.

It's been years since Miss Feathers has been on my blog, but she has been around this entire time. (Really need a new secretary).

Mail haul

Today, my secretary decided she would just randomly show up and come to work. She handed me a couple of pieces of old mail she "happened to find lying around." Should I fire her? It's so hard to find good help these days.

The first letter is... a Halloween card! Halloween? Are we seriously that backed up on posting?

It's from Jerry and Ben, and there is also a Starbucks gift card for participating in the Halloween costume contest where I was my alter ego, Dr. FISHKENSTEIN... mwahahahahahahahaha... *ahem* I mean, thank you beary much, Jerry and Ben!

My secretary handed me another envelope. Let me guess, it's a holiday card and probably months behind also!

It's a Christmas card from Sandy! Thank you Sandy! Speaking of Christmas cards, I think my secretary forgot to mail those out also - really? I think I could find someone on Fiverr who would do a better job.

Thank you for the mail, everyone! My goal in 2026 is to find a new secretary!

Happy New Year!

 Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I'm telling my secretary to post more often this year. Last year, my secretary only posted TWICE. *sigh*

Anyways, in an attempt to make it up to me, my secretary got me a McDonald's Happy meal.

Of course, I am easily bribed with food.

These french fries are the perfect size for me!

But let's get to the good stuff. Let's see the toy...

It says Gary the Snake on the box, from Zootopia 2. I haven't seen that movie...

Hisssssss....

What do you think? Should I request more bribes?

Bird feeder

Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to make a window bird feeder with this kit my mom got from The Home Depot. She picked it up a couple of years ago (heh) and now I'm finally getting around to putting it together. Better late than never!

I will lay out the pieces flat.

And then I will start hammering away!

I'm excited to see what types of birds will come by this bird feeder!

There, it's done! I added suction hooks and now I just have to hang it on a window and fill it with some bird food.

I even got a pin for completing this craft kit!

And a certificate of completion! Let's hang this bird feeder and see who comes by.
