I have a Tim Hortons Tim Biebs insulated cup in my car all the time. Keeps my Diet Coke ice cold for quite some time. Weekly trips to Bellingham I have to refill the darn thing at least twice, 'cause it's too small. This Stanley holds way more and is spill proof. Not sure how much better it is keeping drinks cold, though. I really like the design. Starbucks just had a promo of one with their design. Sold out in less than an hour.
For the truck, I have a Milwaukee Packout compatible, insulated tumbler. Now that one is big! Fits nicely in the large cupholder, but not in my other cars. Also, none of them are spillproof like this one claims to be.

Ermahgerd, for sure.
I was listening to the Hallmark Christmas Channel on Sirius XM yesterday. First time ever hearing the Andrew Sisters Christmas. Far cry from Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (Company B).

So glad Move 103.5 is all Christmas Radio now. Forget Sirius XM Hallmark, Move is much better. Local news, weather, and traffic, plus, Nat and Drew.
Annoying Spence Diamonds and Car dealership ads........... they, I can live with. Every time I hear the Coast Appliance ads with that pissy ass grand daughter, Olivia, I want to slap that bitch so hard.................. anyway............ back to the christmas mood.

Wow, I was at Coquitlam Centre yesterday. Walked into London Drugs. They had a Michael Bublé Christmas album in red vinyl. Playing it now as I put up the Christmas decorations. Man, he sounds amazing on vinyl. Brush on high hat sounds so damn good.
Label says best selling Christmas album in the world. Nice! Great Canadian talent. Produced by David Foster. I’m not too wild about his rendition of Ave Maria, but every other song is good to great. A male version of Santa Baby, lol.
Christmas is the only time of year all three of my kids come over. It used to be New Year’s Day, but they’re too old to be at the house, and I don’t blame them. Christmas is a very joyous occasion for me. Just wish the wife was with us.

It is real dusty all of a sudden... I'm sure she is with you and your family all the time!
All I've done so far is finish soldering an ESP32 to a perf board in an enclosure to run a couple strings of 2811 pixels. Flashed WLED to it and now I have to come up with a couple of sequences to use.

Love the megatree in the back!
Nice! Start small and watch it grow year after year.
The megatree just went up yesterday. It was challenging to design the base since it sits on my driveway and can't be anchored. 15.5 feet tall and 1800 pixels.
holy smokes dude where do you keep all this stuff in the off season??
The #1 question people ask me when they come see the display!
Last year's stuff packed into our garage mezzanine + shed + garage lean to but we have added a bunch more for this season so I'm not sure where we'll put it. The two big skeletons will be challenging as their boxes are huge!

Update on the Bublé flavour. I was in Bellingham this morning. Looked everywhere. Nothing. Not Winco, Walmart, Safeway, Haggens, or Freddy Kroger's. I was wAndering why, then remembered being told by the people who stock the shelves (both Coca Cola and Pepsico) that any time a new limited flavour is released, this one guy goes to every possible store in Everson, Whatcom, Bellingham and clears out the stores. Dr. Pepper releases some awesome flavours quite often and getting your hands on them is nearly impossible. This asshole turns around and sells his purchases on eBay for profit. Anyway, I did get my hands on a case of the Bublé at Save-On-Foods (Madison location), of all places. Superstore has Bubly on sale for $4.49. Shoppers has them, but they're $8.00+ Anyway, I called a few Save-On-Foods to find out if they carried the Bublé flavour (Verry Merry Berry). I get this one girl with a thick, I mean thicker than Troy's Pomalumu's hair, accent. I ask about Bublé and she goes, "what is a Bublé?" I tell her he's a very famous singer............. no reply. Sounded very confused. I just said thank you and hung up. To be fair, if I was asked to name a famous South Asian performer, "I'd be like..........????? Ravi Shankar? jbol.
I don't like sparkling water of any kind. Gonna wait till it's ice cold before trying it.

That's what I'm afraid of haha. I've loosely followed some of the Christmas forums, so I'm aware of how deep the rabbit hole goes. =)
If you have the list of displays I wouldn't mind getting it to see where to take the kids.
