M Test Kitchen, an Asian Fusion restaurant in the Fenton shopping district in Cary, NC. They have a rotating menu so you'll always get something new each time you visit. Reservations are highly recommended! I managed to get an empty shot of the bar area as we got there right as they opened, and a few minutes later, the whole bar seating was packed! The beer featured on the third photo is a Sapporo. The drink on the forth photo is a Japanese take on a Hot Toddy, perfect for a cold evening out! Shot in January 2025.

Fenton: A new development of shops and restaurants located in Cary, NC just right across the street from where Cary Towne Center used to be. No shortage of dining options here! I'll need to get around to posting some photos of that old mall! Shot in January 2025.

The rain casts thee out, evil #pollen. Flee to the depths of the #CaryNC sewers.

Yesterday I got a text with a new neighbor requesting me to remove ivy. Normally they'd end up on a wait list since I have a lot of orange lit properties in progress and my big project is still ongoing, but the photo they sent showed it was a quick job and I figured I'd tackle it for a day. 4.5 hours later it was all finished and a new green zone got added to my progress map! It feels good to treat the cancer before it spread too far in this nice patch of woods. Two more neighbors completed their ivy removal and got lit in blue on the map, so we're getting some nice coverage of the neighborhood at this point.
