The Beginning of Year 10 (Day 3288 - 11/25/18)

This day begins with some bird watching at Mallory's bird feeder with sightings of a woodpecker (off camera), blue jay and morning dove. Stephen and Mal plan to relax since it is their day off. But, they are also getting a bit of work done since they didn't work much on Thanksgiving or Black Friday.

Their chores today begin with grocery shopping. When Mallory made pies, she planned on using Honey Crisp and Granny Smith apples in both apple pies, but the Honey Crisps were bitter so she only made one pie with just Granny Smith apples. Dan had mentioned he really wanted some of Mal's apple pies so they need to go to the store to get more apples to make a second apple pie. While on their outing, they stop at McAlister's Deli for some sandwiches.

When they returned home, they did some work including some work on the Extra Life 2018 VODs for future release in January. Stephen is pleased as he was able to remove the high pitched chirp that could be heard during the stream. Meanwhile, Mallory has been working on putting SNES carts in cases since they were laying open on a shelf. They also are beginning to double-stack games to make the space more functional.

Next up, Stephen and Mal leave to pick up Dan from the airport. On their way home, the three of them stop at Cook Out for a late dinner. Stephen orders an unexpectedly thin quesadilla and a burger, which Dan also elected to order. Amusingly, Stephen remarks that his burger looks good despite being fully wrapped up, which Dan teases him for.

Once they are back, Mal bakes the 2nd apple pie off screen. Stephen discusses how he has updated the channel banner, which he always does at the beginning of a new year of the vlog. He updated Year 9's space theme to a sky image. Unlike previous years where he simply labelled the banner with "Year 7" or "Year 8", he plans on adding serious or silly phrasing to the banner periodically as the mood strikes him.
