Remember to buckle up!

No new pictures, where are you at mentally
A black and white, vintage newspaper styled illustration of a person kneeling on top of an overturned chair in a head-down position, holding the chair back with his hands and bracing his knees against the leg structure of the chair. The caption reads: "You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing."

Congrats on the milestone! 🎉

Here's my goofball Steph. Thermokinetic powers and eldritch biology in a person-shaped can with a tenuous grasp of societal norms. They eat tires and trash, make glass with their bare hands, and will flip off a mile-high cosmic octopus without a second thought.
A full body drawing of a femme-presenting person with chin length blode hair and peach colored eyes, wearing a tank top and khaki shorts under a battered grey short sleeve cardigan. They are holding a glass bowl in both hands, heating it red-hot with their thermokinetic powers in order to refine its shape.

Just at a glance compared to others on my subscriptions page it feels...busy, maybe desaturated?

Could try a more stylized shot of the cabinet setup itself, like this but taken at an angle so text fits where you stand? Sorry I'm no artist and thumbnail design is my absolute weakest aspect.

I'm at #OffKaiGen4 this year! I'll be wandering around all weekend. If you find me, I got a totally planned and not last minute idea notebook for you to sign or doodle something in!

Pics from yesterday; 🧵 of my adventures to follow
Looking over the railing from the second floor to the first floor of a convention center atrium. A curved ceiling diffuses daylight from floor to ceiling windows to the left. Additional walkways span the space further along. A not quite focused selfie of me with a grey hoodie draped over my shoulder, with wood and glass architecture in the background

Dam the view is nice up here!
A photo from a viewpoint overlooking part of a lake and a dam. Shrubbery in the foreground and low mountains in the background.

Voltage regulator surgery time!
The regulator module from an alternator on a wooden workbench. Red and black wires have been attached and extend out of frame.

What I expected in the catch can: oil slime.

What I got: forbidden whiskey?! It smells like distilled spirits, not gas or oil 🤣

No I will not taste it.
A clear glass jar held up above a workbench with a small amount of clear amber watery liquid at the bottom.

Central locking surgery time!
The electronic lock from a car disassembled on a workbench to show the gears inside. The motor has been removed and is in the jaws of a spring clamp while the glue holding it back together dries.

Well this stinks (in more ways than one)
Underneath a car, looking at the fuel tank with gasoline dripping down the side and onto the ground. Looking through the access hatch at the top of the fuel pump and related connections, all soaked in gasoline from a leak.

This is Ziggy. He invited himself into my car. 10/10 good boy.
A black and white cat wearing a collar, standing on a wooden curb in front of a bird of paradise plant. Same black and white cat with tail raised in the air, inside the cargo area of a station wagon, sniffing at a wooden hutch. Same cat in the driver side footwell of the car, looking like he's supposed to be there. Different angle of cat in footwell, peeking out with one front paw resting on the edge of the driver's seat.

No! Do not the forbidden strawberry beverage!
A look inside a car's power steering fluid reservoir, full of foamy aerated fluid that looks like a strawberry flavored drink.

Dr Seuss ahh power steering line that I just spent several hours fighting to remove (I won)
An old rusty power steering pressure line from a car with many different bends, sitting on a sheet of cardboard on a driveway.

Brown sugar dijon butter glazed salmon. Couldn't find the recipe I had seen a while ago, so I'm winging it. Smells like success!
Three oven roasted salmon filets on a baking tray, surrounded by caramelized glaze.

Just a dusting of snow
A view out the front window of a yard and suburban street in the northeastern US, coated with a fresh dusting of snow. Some snow has stuck to branches of bushes in the foreground and coated the yard, while the street is still clear.

What did I do on New Year's Eve?

Snagged some free bricks off Craigslist!

Another excursion to see the sunset with @shoyukatsudon.bsky.social, this time down by the coast instead of up the mountain.
A West Coast sunset over a calm ocean, with wispy clouds tinted golden yellow A look down the length of a disused highway bridge converted to a walking path. To the right, a railroad trestle peeks above the guard rail. To the left, a hill covered in dormant grass and dotted with low shrubs, with power lines visible over the crest. An old railroad trestle silhouetted by a golden yellow sunset over the ocean. Gentle waves break on a wide beach below. A set of power lines stretch across the upper right corner of the image.

Good news: no brake vibration!

Bad news: screaming noise happens on the other side now

Worse news: caliper on that side is dragging and I gotta pull everything apart again to swap it.
False color thermal image of a front brake rotor and caliper after a short gentle drive on a cool day, showing normal low temps for such light conditions. 93F rotor and 83.8F back of brake pad. Thermal image of other side front brake assembly after same short drive, showing 212.7F rotor and 205F brake pad, which suggests a dragging caliper.
