Tub Shroom

I saw the Tub Shroom years ago, and was attracted to getting one, because we had a family member who was squeamish about hair in the drain after a shower. Letting the hair slide down the drain is obviously not a good solution to this squeamishness, but we have done just that for a while now. Fast forward to the inevitable conclusion: clogged drains, trips to the hardware store for drain-o, and some showers spent in an ankle-deep puddle of bath water. Not to mention fruitless plunging on my part.

We got the last clog unstuck, but I wanted to avoid another event. While shopping for basket strainers for the drain, I chanced upon the Tub Shroom , and ordered one.

Short story: it works, and discreetly. I’ve been cleaning it just to see, and I’m happy with the results. 12 bucks!

Bellview Winery’s Serafina

I picked up a growler of this yesterday to have with our cheap rib roast. I tried a sample at the winery after giving the mustang a good flogging on a dry, hot day. I’d say it was very dark-berry forward but very good. We had spritzes with their pet-nat rosé too. I didn’t take good pics but hey.

OWC Dock

Hobbies have long tails. The dream is to be able to plug any device into your rig and just work. This is a great step for geeks with multiple devices. I’ve been writing about it here a fair bit.

Easter

I’ve always adored Easter. Because I went to catholic school, Easter was as momentous as Christmas. With Christmas, you get a kind of hunkering down for the long winter ahead vibe, ceremonious as it is. Spring and Easter have a more optimistic, forward-looking groove.
