The city of Revelstoke seen from above on Mount MacKenzie. The city is visible off in the distance in the valley below beneath the low cloud cover. It appears as a grid of streets and buildings breaking up an otherwise snowy flat area around the Columbia River. In the foreground, tall and narrow evergreens are caked with snow.

An alleyway at night time. The immediate space is lit by white spotlights directed at large pieces of artwork mounted to the sides of the buildings. The ground is covered with snow with a set of tire tracks extending all the way down the alley. The wall of the building to the left is painted a terracotta color while the wall to the right is painted a grey color. Refuse bins line the alley at the far end of the buildings. Steam is emitting from a pipe extending from the ground and up the side of the right building. A street lamp lights the alley with a much warmer color in distance.

Photo looking across a valley from an elevated position on one side. The immediate landscape is covered with snow and snow covered evergreens. The valley floor is dusted with snow while mountains on the far side are patchy. The sky is blue with significant cloud cover. The peak of a mountain almost completely covered in snow except for the steep rock faces. Snow can be seen blowing over the ridges. The sky is blue with no clouds.

It’s that time #baking
Measured ingredients for the dough for cinnamon rolls in different containers on a stone countertop. Yeast, sugar, flour, egg yolks, egg, and butter. The dough in a large metal bowl sitting in a home made proofing box. The box is made of a flexible foil insulation and contains a lightbulb for warmth. The dough rolled out on the stone countertop and covered with an even layer of brown sugar and cinnamon. Individual rolls arranged in a glass baking dish after rolling up the dough with the brown sugar and cinnamon and cutting.

ATM spit out a suspiciously crisp 1996 series $100 bill. Spent more time than I probably should have looking at uscurrency.gov.

The most suspicious thing was what appeared to be ink bleeding through from the front to the back. Apparently, ink can transfer […]

I thought it was a fluke but they really do have separate personal license, EDL, and endorsement fees for renewal. https://dol.wa.gov/driver-licenses-and-permits/driver-licensing-fees
Section of the WA DOL website titled “Renewing your enhanced driver license (EDL)” It includes a subsection that reads; Renew enhanced driver license (EDL) Renew with motorcycle endorsement $103 renew + $30 motorcycle = $137 renew + $40 motorcycle = Also called EDL renewal with motorcycle endorsement Total $133 for 6 years $177 for 8 years

An orange sport fishing boat is traveling from left to right of frame over Lake Washington. Seattle is visible on the far side of the lake with the Olympic Mountains visible further behind. The sky is almost completely covered with gray clouds except for a sliver at the horizon through which the mountains can be seen.

Pre cooked apple slices from the sauce pan covered with the topping from the mixing bowl in a rectangular pyrex baking dish sitting on a gas range. The baked cobbler resting on a wooden cutting board. The baked topping is golden brown.

Paid the dealer replace the rear components for warranty reasons. Did the front myself. Shiny.

I don’t understand why they made the key fob bigger. 2025 on left. 2016 on right.
Two mazda key fobs: 2025 on left and 2016 on right. The left is twice the width of the right and has buttons along the longer side while the right has buttons ok the top face.

This apparently still works on newer models to disable the DRLs: https://mazdas247.com/forum/attachments/2012-09-27_131320_running_lights-webp.216519

All I can think about after reading this is the “Reset C by GE Light Bulbs” video: https://youtu.be/1BB6wj6RyKo
Document titled “CX-5 Daytime Running Lights” that includes the procedure to enable or disable the DRLs. The procedure includes a complicated sequence involving the start/stop button, brake pedal, headlight switch, and hazard light switch with strict timing requirements.

In 2020, shortly after I bought my Mazda used, one of the EPB modules failed such that it was engaged while the system thought it was disengaged. I found a TSB at the time that indicated that it was due to a design flaw in the original EPB modules and had to […]

[Original post on animal.business]
Screenshot of a PDF on an iPhone. The first page of Mazda repair guide reference numbers R052/16C. The document states: … Some vehicles with the electric parking brake (EPB) may exhibit the rear brake dragging resulting in brake noise and the outer disc pad abnormally worn out. Or the vehicle may roll momentarily when starting from a standstill with the EPB applied. (The EPB is not automatically released for both wheels at the same time.) … The EPB control module judges that the parking brake is completely released when the current value flown to the motor (A) drops to the threshold, namely when the rotating torque of the spindle (B) drops. Due to insufficient accuracy of the screw threads of the ball and ramp (C), the spindle (B) may idle momentarily during the EPB release operation causing the spindle rotating torque (the current value to the motor) to drop to the threshold before completely releasing the parking brake.

Back in the US. This is the emptiest I have ever seen it.
A hallway leading to international arrivals baggage claim at SEA. The hallway is lined with vertical wood slats with accent lighting. Above the passage way reads “Welcome to the United States”. A large open space is visible beyond the passage way with lots of natural light from a glass exterior wall. View of the SEA international baggage claim from above. Multiple baggage carousels are in a room that extends outward and curves to the left. The entire right wall is glass. Each carousel has colorful artwork suspended above it. Notably, there do not seem to be many travelers in the area.
