We had a fun time at our local No Kings march today. I think there may have been a few more people this time and far less negative reactions from passing motorists.

It wasn’t a very good year for chanterelles where we live because of the lack of rainfall. We only found a few here and there. We did find a really good spot for boletus edulis though! We had a heck of a good time in the woods today. #fungifriends #mushrooms #foraging

So no Rapture this time either? Feels like 2012 all over again.

A picture from a hike the other day. This is in the Johns River area in Wa. The hike ends at a pioneer cemetery. A beautiful nature walk with interesting history to boot!

youtu.be/d4LdUQzCPPM Nirvana covering a Meat Puppets song. Cranking this band tonight and having a few beers with my girlfriend. We’re trying to drown out the absurd amount of fireworks here. We totally get why Kurt disliked this ignorant town. #musicsky

We stopped to visit this Thomas Dambo creation on the way home from Portland, Or. the other day. There are a bunch more of these throughout the U.S. I thought it was pretty neat. The only kind of troll I like to see on Bluesky

A new protest song. Not my usual

We participated in a small town #nokings protest today. Beautiful Westport,Wa.! It started with a march and ended with everyone singing in the park. The only king around here is salmon. I loved that sign!

Remember this: be unpredictable. “Outrun, outlast… make it impossible for them to justify the cost.” They’ve already wasted $131 million. We are fully committed to peaceful demonstrations, and just as committed to protecting our communities.

We have to fill the streets in numbers too big to count! History shows that mass peaceful protests make a difference! If you are close to a protest now - GO! If you need to plan then go on June 14th. There are over 1800+ protests planned that day! www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The protest we took part in today had a pretty decent crowd for the small town of Ocean Shores,Wa. The guy on the lawn mower wasn’t happy about us being there and we got a few one-finger salutes from cars. Most of the reactions from passing motorists were positive though. We liked that.

We moved this batch of mead into a jar for 2nd. fermentation today. The must contains wild huckleberries and blackberries that we picked over the summer. It’s been going for 2 months and I like the color. My girlfriend demanded we sample a taste (my arm still hurts from all the twisting) Delicious!

The final polish for my fossil corals. I had to stop the process for a few weeks due to below-freezing temps at night. They took a pretty good shine considering how soft they are. I think using ceramic pellets helped. Shown with some harder material which I ran in a separate barrel. #rockhound

Sometimes when wading creeks looking for petrified wood, pieces of weirdly crystallized chalcedony turn up. At one time they filled a cavity in the petrified wood, but eroded out over time. Fun to find in their own right but it would have been great finding everything intact! #rockhound

Some more interesting War of 1812 artifacts from Lake Champlain. Military buttons and a flint wrapped in lead which I assume was used with a musket. I found some musket balls here too. #metaldetecting

The area on Lake Champlain where I found my U.S. buckle plate became a public beach and picnic area sometime after the War of 1812. (Until 1950?)Besides wartime artifacts, silver coins from the early 1900’s, tin toys, etc. would turn up sometimes. While not in great shape, this souvenir is fun.
