Round 2.
PACK!

When U-Haul came to pick up the first batch of pods, this one was *way* overweight (my stuff was *not* the problem)

So, had to unpack the entire thing & start over.

Moving always sucks. This move is literally my definition of hell. And I don't believe in hell.
Or didn't. Might now.

In "Nobody Likes a Goblin" by Ben Hatke, the goblin (who is wearing his friends old crown) is asked this.

So many vibes of Ghostbusters.

This is absolutely true.
Garak is one of my inspirations when it comes to service to my faith and community.

In all likelihood, this will be my new #Masonic home by the end of the year.

Moving is tough.

Just up here in #coppercountry for my partner to start their new job at @michigantech.bsky.social in person before being remote until summer when kids are out of school, and getting a feel for the area.

Again installed in the most superfluous job in Freemasonry: musician in the lodge forbidden from doing ritual!

But Duncan was with me & we had a good time.

(Michigan Lodge of Research and Information no. 1)

My favourite room in the Detroit Temple, the Romanesque. My parlor pipes sound GREAT!

That means standing up to the capitalists.
It means disempowering the capitalists.

When no one makes the lapel pin you want, sometimes you need to use your shop tools and make it yourself.

Let's have breakfast shall we?
Stone ground oatmeal, tasted in butter, topped with a pair of poached eggs.

Ok, I am originally a Great Highland Bagpipe player, yes.

But I've been learning scottish smallpipes since COVID.

I am actually set up for exactly this situation...

Seriously, though...
Self hosted forums, for similarly -interested folk.
Basic blogging.

There are going to be SOME advantages of moving to the upper peninsula...

Ok, but does it still work if it's televisions?

Brokering a Scottish drug deal in a parking lot at 9:00 in the morning.

One guy got paid.
One guy has pipes.
I have Scotch.

Time for coffee.

Last night my Masonic Lodge skipped our ritual work in favor of doing some community service. We packed 200 Christmas stockings that are headed up to the Masonic Home in Alma Michigan.
