Bonus recent bird pic! City hawk eating gristle critters.
Looks like someone cloned my account.  The account with three "L"s at the end is fake. Please report it. Thanks to everyone who sent me a message about it!
Thought that they were piping bird song into the airport but I finally found the birds. Back of the TVs were covered in poop. Saw one of them poop on a backpack
The best part was that some of the screens weren't working and they had printed giant photos of the contents. Seems like just having clear glass might be the solution
In Austin at the Walgreens the cold cases were giant touch screens.
Candlelit Frey Snacks
Power out . Still need coffee tho
Oh and if you were curious about the size, it's got three bays that are about 4x4x4'
Moved the composted compost, the less composted compost,
and one with leaves and chips  @sodaminnie & I 
more or less done!
Laser level for the trimming height
@sodaminnie & I nearly done with our giant compost pile.  Gotta trim the verticals to length, 
cut some movable boards for the front
Savory KitchenAid Mochi
I had taped a tiny specialized filter to the back of the lens and had forgotten. This is the MidOpt TB550/660/850 triple bandpass, green, red, and infrared for #aerochrome experiments
Could not figure out why my pictures kept on coming out lime green. Reset the camera to default settings, pulled out the real deal calibrated gray card, nothing worked.
Big compost coming along! Or possibly three Cozy Coupe garage?
Bby's first time making hummus.
 He got to hit the button
and taste test!
@sodaminnie climbed around in the attic to pull a new wire to the box, plus wire to each of the lights! Four #halo remodel lights connected to a #tplink #kasa wifi dimmer. Whole room feels so much better.
Finally got some time where @sodaminnie & I can install lights in the living room. Three sets of wire coming into the knockouts in the box and two more around the edge ๐Ÿ˜ After a lot of figuring we determined three aren't in use. Capped!
"Although once considered undesirable, the fungus is listed asย edible."

When we were driving up it looked like lightning in the clouds, but it turns out when and the lights turn on and off it makes enough light pollution it looks like there's lightning
Just down from our 
house is the 
"Allison Christmas Spectacular"

 There's a whole acre or so of grass covered in Christmas lights.  There's regular stuff too but never seen the likes of this.
Pretty fun.
Tho really need to get on the laser cutter .
We don't have a cat.
We've gotten 5" of rain.

Having to use a bottle jack to lift your car is really annoying. Car has no spare, so no jack. Can't find my floor jack :(
Dude trying to eat my hyacinth beans
Interesting illustration of headless vs headful shrimps
He's getting to be much more helpful
Found a new
persimmon tree!  Astonishingly there was a ripe persimmon. Frey was not excited about me trying to hand him gooey fruit.
Dryer heater burned out ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ ๐Ÿ˜ญ  parts here in 24 hrs
Soon these will be red

Should have more peppers to process in the next few months. So so good! 
A bit like pizza pepper flakes, but hotter and has flavors of dried fruit.
Into the Vitamix with a few pinches of salt and a few drops of olive oil. @sodaminnie & I like the peppers ground until they are just a bit smaller than pizza pepper flakes.
Seems like so many peppers when you're cutting them up. Need to dry them until they break like dry leaves.
It's Aleppo and Gochujang pepper time! Peppers quartered, 
Seeds removed,
Dried for 24 hours!
First muscadine of the year!
Back from Sweden and there are bunch of ripe eggplants in the garden!

At hotel breakfast there's even a specialized tube appliance.
Sweden loves tubes of food.
Swedish mosquitos are like double the size of the ones in the US.
Silage out in the fields
Evening walks are easier when dusk ends at 11pm
He doesn't seem to be feeling too too bad though
You eat them right off the grass. Also Frey caught a cold, I guess from all the travel ๐Ÿ˜ญ
You collect them on a specific kind of grass.  They don't get squished.
Smultron in the wild Aka wild strawberries
In Sweden you have to milk the ketchup yourself ๐Ÿ„
The previous pic is a proper shrimp sandwich in Copenhagen  This is some kind of Swedish hotdog wrap filled with relish, crispy onions, and mashed potatoes.

Stuck balancing spool was really hard to remove. 

First the cap wouldn't come off, and I had to buy the biggest flathead screwdriver at Ace Hardware.
 Then the inner bits
didn't come out with
the cap, so I had to
make coat hanger
pullers. ๐Ÿ˜‘
Path chips still in progress
Garden today!
1 year ago, garden
After tasting the basil
He decides it's gross
And puts it in my mouth
๐Ÿ˜ถ
Frey learned how to pick basil.
Sarah and I both have our second boosters and have had mild cases. Buuut a mild case plus watching a teething baby who doesn't want to sleep has been pretty rough.
If you haven't gotten your second Covid booster go get it!
Finally happened
He's gotten really fast
1/4 bushel of bby
Time to lower the bed again  Not looking forward to having to bend over that far
๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Happy 2023
A little hard to see but this is the back side of the tub valve in the little house just popped apart.
The little house had a 
pipe burst in the wall. The water shutoff for the little house the plastic ball handle valve looked chewed off, so I capped the feed to the little house.
Threw a few sharkbites on the
 pipes to cut out the breaks. 

 Looks like at least one 
bathroom will work
Just the CPVC cracked
