For dinner tonight, Genifer made this Andouille Sausage with Alfredo pasta…
It was delicious! Another outstanding dinner! She’s such a good cook! 😀🥣❤️
It’s what’s for dinner.

Look up in the sky.
There were some awesome big fluffy clouds hovering over Northside this evening…
Also good evening from Northside. 😀☁️🌄❤️

Three years ago today…
We were at the Reds game when one of the Reds PNC PowerStacks actually caught on fire during the game…
I had forgotten about being at this game. Thankfully, Timehop never forgets. 😀🔥🦕❤

Crisis averted.
I thought I had lost my Polaroid CUBE. I hadn’t been able to locate it for about a week. I’m usually very good with my electronicals and every day carry items, and very rarely do I misplace them. But I was really beginning to think my little CUBE was a goner. I inadvertently looked behind my computer monitor at work today and there it was…
I’m a ding dong. I wonder how long it’s been back there? 😀📷❤️

A walk in the woods.
We took the buddies on a long walk through the woods this afternoon…
Genifer pointed out that the ninja turtles must live in there…
It’s pretty incredible that we have all this amazing green space right behind our house to go explore with the dogs. We love it. 😀🌳🐾❤️

A Saturday afternoon in OtR.
This afternoon we caught an Uber down into Over-the-Rhine. Our friend Chris just had a birthday and his wife, Tayler was throwing him a bar-hopping surprise party that started at Rhinegeist…
Decisions, decisions…
We got down to Rehinegeist a little bit early so we could finally check out their rooftop…
The Rhinegeist rooftop patio…
It’s super nice up there. But we went back downstairs to get some food. Rhinegiest’s taproom is on something like the third or fourth floor of the building. On the first floor is Sartre, the hottest restaurant & bar according to Zagat. Two things on a side note, the hottest restaurant and bar just sounds really uncomfortable and sweaty. And Zagat also said Steak ‘n Shake had the #1 rated milkshake. Steak ‘n Shake. So I think you should really take their recommendations with a grain of salt. But I digress, Sartre. In addition to having a restaurant and bar on the first floor, Sartre also has a kiosk in Rhinegeist’s taproom that I should have taken a photo of but didn’t. They take your order at the kiosk and Sartre sends your food up to the taproom in oversized banking tubes, and they call it tube food. That’s awesome! And I’m so mad that I didn’t take any photos of the kiosk or the tubes. But Genifer ordered a pretzel and I got a burger. And here it is…
And that was one really terrific burger…
So, sooo good. Rhinegeist really fills up on a Saturday afternoon…
On May 15th, National Dinosaur Day was Jurassic Geist at the Rhinegiest Taproom…
According to a tweet I saw in celebration of World Dinosaur Day, Cincy Museum Center teamed with Rhinegeist to display their 50-foot Galeamopus dinosaur in public for the first time! This YouTube video shows the process of putting together a 150-million-year-old dinosaur! We’ll definitely have to get back down to Rhinegeist to see the dinosaur and get some photos of tube food…
From Rhinegeist, we walked over to Taft’s Ale House…
Then we swung through Sundry and Vice before heading to Mecca OtR…
Chunkers!
From there, we made our way to 16-bit…
And they had Slush Puppie drinks…
And then we stopped into Longfellow…
And then it was onto Rhinehaus to watch the end of FC Cincinnati’s 4-1 loss away to Charlotte Independence. Everyone headed to 4EG’s newest bar, Rosedale. Rosedale was stupid packed. And somewhere between point A and point B, we got separated from our group. We tried to track them down but to no avail. So we hopped in an Uber and headed back to Northside where we stopped at Higher Gravity for a nightcap. It was a really fun afternoon and evening of bar hopping in Over-the-Rhine. 😀🍺🍻🥃🍸🍹❤️

Northside nubs.
I was planning on taking a half day this morning when Cincinnati Bell was installing our new Fioptics. But it took so long to get us up and running that I decided just to take the whole day off. Eventually, we decided to walk down to Melt to have a late lunch…
Genifer had a half Cobb Salad with chips and hummus and buffalo mac&cheese…
I had the Hoffner with classic mac&cheese…
Their sammiches are so outstanding, as is their mac&cheese. After we were done eating, we celebrated no longer having cable by sharing a Morning Glory cocktail…
And after we were done with lunch, we stopped into Higher Gravity for a flight…
It was a great way to celebrate no longer having cable and spend my first vacation day of the year. 😀🥪🍺🥃❤️

We cut the cord. Finally.
This morning we made it official. We cut the cord. We finally pulled the plug on our cable and ditched Spectrum/Time Warner. This morning a service technician hooked us up to Cincinnati Bell Fioptics in an installation process that was not nearly as simple as I thought it would be. But after watching him work all morning to get us up and running, we’re experiencing Fioptics and it’s so far so good. Everything works just fine. We didn’t really watch our cable all that much. We usually watched Netflix or Hulu (free with Sprint!) or Amazon Prime Video in the evenings while we also streamed whatever sports were on that evening on a tablet. We’ve also been testing Sling TV for the last couple of weeks and found that Sling has almost everything we watched on cable and then some.
This isn’t a comprehensive review of Sling TV. Just a declaration of independence from Spectrum that feels incredibly liberating. Sling works great through our Amazon Fire TV sticks or our Google Chromecasts. We can also stream all of our channels anywhere we go through our mobile devices. We get all of my soccer and all of Reds games. And we have 50 hours of DVR space. The only downside so far is a lack of local channels. We didn’t really watch local tv at all except for weekend sporting events. And I figure that won’t really be much of a problem until around football season. But there seems to be a pretty easy fix to that problem though with the AirTV Player that is said to integrate seamlessly with Sling TV. We’ll look into adding that option soonish.
The best part of cutting the cord and ditching cable is that we’ll save about $70 a month. You can’t beat that. Getting to say, “Bye Felicia“ to Spectrum isn’t bad either.
😀📺✂️❤️
