I'm trying to clean up, but I'm the worst at it. Of course I want to keep this light bulb box that says "happy Birthday Dad" at the bottom of it!
Back to my makerspace after a few months of being sick and miserable and it's doing fucking great. Someone just found me a piece of bright pink acrylic from the scrap pile to laser into a camera mount.
Did some forest canoeing yesterday, but posting today because apparently cell services aren't optimized for the middle of flooded islands.
Still love libraries, FYI.
The fact I can hang out here while my kids are swimming is just a bonus.
They're not swimming today. I just biked down here on my own.
Linux usb wifi drivers are kind of a nightmare so I bought a wifi-ethernet bridge and I'm super happy with it.
I feel like this old Moto Z phone deserves a Viking funeral or something. Chugging along since 2016? When I put a sim card in it last year I had to call and get it unlocked, and it took a bit until I got a rep who remembered how that worked because carrier locked phones haven't been a thing since Jan 2017.
Thinking about scars today, and how I got them.
I did a multi day backwoods hike called the Gros Morne Long Range Traverse, in Newfoundland. You have to take a safety course and they check your gear to make sure they don't have to waste a helicopter trip for your sorry ass. It was a beautiful but grueling hike across difficult and dangerous terrain. It was extremely challenging.
And then, after that, I cut the shit out of my hand putting my backpack into the trunk of the rental car.
My favourite photos are the ones that show the curvature of the earth and narrow band of atmosphere we live in, but eclipse photos are pretty great too.
