@kaikatsu Are you building an arcade cabinet? #sonOne built one for himself, then a couple of years later, scrounged most of the parts to build me a mini version.

I had a delightful videochat conversation with #sonTwo, his wife, and #GS3. We talked about the island assignment offer and whether we could find a way to continue having these chats regularly if I was in the other timezone.
I’ve just hinted at it with #sonOne, because I’m sure it would be even harder to continue my chats with seven year old #GD2.
It’s already hard to schedule time with #Daddy_A to chat with those kids. We *think* we’ll have one this Saturday, for the first time this year.

An island location of $EMPLOYER is asking for people to come work there. I’m concerned about #timezones possibly preventing me from videochatting with grandkids.
I want to talk with #sonOne about scheduling chats with #GD1 and #GD2 before I head to the #hairport. #sonTwo already said they’ll try to adapt #GS3’s schedule to enable communication.
-
@amic Yeah. I know. I always worked evenings, weekends, and holidays. Fifteen years after that changed, I still don't know what to do with myself on Saturdays.
.
But I was off almost every Wednesday when #sonOne was in high school. When #sonTwo and #Daddy_A were in middle school and high school, that changed to Tuesdays and Thursdays.
.
Naturally, those were the days I got the kids (plus the odd weekend).

I didn't get to #videochat with #GD2 today*, but I did get a brief session when #sonTwo called to let me say good night to #GS3.
* For the 3rd week in a row. I'll have to check with #sonOne tomorrow to see whether she's been doing her chores and homework. Usually, when she doesn't call, it is because he took her electronics away again.

@kaikatsu #sonOne used vaping to kill a 25+ years cigarette habit and then gave up vaping too.

Way back when #sonOne was in high school, there was a boy named Tim. Just in the school year we know him, he had already changed schools four times. He moved away a month or two after he showed up at the local school. He said they moved every month.

Someone at work was walkie-talkie-ing with his child at school using something called #Relay https://relaygo.com/ ... has anyone heard of this before? Opinions?
I’m not planning to buy this for any grandkids, but I sent the link to #sonOne and #Daddy_A (who both have school age kids) for them to decide for themselves. I made sure to say I wasn’t endorsing it, having just heard of it right before I sent them the link.

#sonOne is explaining what “records” are to his daughters (ages 12, 7).

#TIL: Carapace (noun): https://www.wordnik.com/words/carapace
Thanks #sonOne for using the word in conversation.

It is time to replace my shoes. I wondered why I felt the textures of the ground underneath me. When I looked at the bottom of my shoes, I saw why.
#sonOne: How did you let your shoes get so bad?
#sonTwo: You need new shoes badly.
Nephew #Papaya: Do your feet hurt?
Going to the store now, guys.

Videochat with #sonTwo, his wife, #GS3 is just ending now. Delayed by a call with his older brother #sonOne ( and #GD1 and #GD2 ).
The hotspot is almost out of data for 2019-08.

Went to #Target to buy some more #yogurt, but got distracted by the pricing on school supplies. So I got backpacks ($18 each!) for #GD1 and #GD2 ( I bought #Little_Boy_A's backpack already ), art supplies, notebooks, folders, graph paper, an entry-level scientific calculator, pencils, elementary school lettering practice workbooks, and more.
#sonOne is going to have fun teaching his daughter to use that calculator. And the maps. Did I mention the wall-hanging USA and world maps I bought? (One pair for each son's kids.)
-
Trying to call my seven year old granddaughter #GD2 to ask about school supplies. If she does not answer, I'll ask her dad #sonOne.
-
Talking on the phone with #sonOne, #GD1, and #GD2. Even though she’s 11, I still have trouble understanding the older granddaughter on the phone.
-
#GD2 sent me a "Thank you" image after the most recent shipment arrived. A day or two later, #sonOne asked me whether the granddaughters had thanked me. I told him "I received thanks". Since I hadn't heard from #GD1, I texted to ask whether she liked her gifts. Her response ("ya") counts as thanks.

Back in the 1990s, there was a time when I only had four hours per week to spend with #sonOne. I found that he really enjoyed movies, so we saw around fifty movies per year.
-
Oh, wow. I saw a couple of Wesley Snipes Blade movies in the 1990s with #sonOne. I liked them.
-
Nope. I missed the calling window with #sonOne.
-
#GS3 (about 4 months old) is outgrowing his 3-6 months clothes I bought him last month. Time to order a larger size. (Just got off a videochat where he smiled at me and squealed.) I think he's a direct clone of #sonTwo. Now to call #sonOne and hope I'm not too late.
