"Tap the sign" memes irritate me, generally, but sometimes the sign must be tapped.

Last night I did something rare for me these days - I put on shoes and left the house to go see live music. Martin Carthy and his daughter Eliza playing English folk music and just generally being adorable.

I have a staycation week, and today was working-on-the-car day. I did the differential fluid change, which isn't on VW's maintenance schedule but is recommended by the manufacturer of the diff. Just enough of a pain in the ass to make me feel like I accomplished something doing it myself. #VW #GTI

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Hong Kong Cavaliers would have been my pick too, but I guess I'll post my #2 choice.

#rocketry work in progress:

On the left is the tail section of a rocket that crashed about a month ago after an electronics failure. It was built from a LOC kit (wood and cardboard) and now has a couple of cracked fins.

On the right is a 3D printed replacement. (Issues in following posts.)

So...it looks as if the entire state of Missouri stopped reporting #COVID wastewater data a month ago? That seems uncool.

Thinking this may *actually* be my last full playthrough of #BaldursGate3 so I'm making it a "victory lap" with one of the mods that removes the four-character party limit. I'm playing on the top difficulty (but not with any of the "even moar harder" mods) and just stomping everything. So much fun.
