A bridge, or perhaps a highway overpass. My last time on a train, heading south to DC, sometime the summer before COVID.

My favorite knife is sharp. I carry it with me and use it almost every day. Mostly for the lunch avocado, yum.

We dry the majority of our clothes on the drying rack.

Day 1 touch

We’re having outdoor theater tonight. I watch the AV guy touch the equipment. I’ve done a bunch of sound in my time. It’s fun to watch someone else set up.

So the local bread baker made “sesame Sirarcha bread.” I made French toast with it, added avocado and fried eggs, topped with chili crisp. Yum!

I had been having some trouble with Apple Maps and also with Waze in recent weeks. First Apple Maps failed, with the error “A Server with the specified hostname could not be found” but Waze continued to work. Then yesterday, Waze also stopped working with an “unknown error” message.

Apple Support helped me to troubleshoot this today. It turned out that the new firewall that comes with the latest version of 1Blocker was blocking first Apple Maps and then Waze. Once I turned off their firewall, both GPS applications started to work again.

I have sent a message to the 1Blocker support email suggesting that they tune their firewall.

I ran sound for a wedding rehearsal yesterday in this beautiful spot. It was the first time I had touched a sound board in over 18 months.

Loving my new Stream Deck! I’ve only had it for one day but it’s worth it just for the ease of managing Toggl timing. I’m also enjoying the Apple Music button displays the current album art.

I love summer, sourdough waffles with fresh strawberries and apricots 🍞

Teaberry ice cream A Pennsylvania specialty. Similar to wintergreen. I quite like it.

I made preserved lemons! We’re gonna try them in a quinoa veggie dish tonight.

Anybody know if these mushrooms are edible? We seeded these logs with store-bought spores a couple years ago. Maybe shiitake? But we’re not brave enough to eat them.

Beautiful Lady Slipper orchids — we’re so happy that they come back every year

Yes, my darling kitty has early stage kidney disease. We’re entering a new world of delivering sub-cutaneous fluids and providing a special diet. Overall, we’re trying to help her have an excellent quality of life through this next phase. And I’m very sad.

It was a thrill to see this perfect Studebaker in the parking lot the other day. I’ve always loved this make of car.

We have a heated mattress pad. 🐈

It’s worth it to go down to town in the spring, when it’s still winter at home

April in New Hampshire

Wrapping my head around teaching the next few webinars. 🏫 The material is so intertwined that it’s hard to get things into the right order. Grateful for Zengobi Curio - Note Taking, Mind Mapping, Brainstorming which helps me to move topics around and visualize the order.
