My partner came home with this bottle. We aren't really drinking anymore, so I'm going to build a shadow box for it that will include a rag and have "in case of fascism, break glass" etched on the glass. We'll see how long it remains unbroken.
Bottle of vodka called Fascist Tears.

If you can afford the extra gas this amount of drag uses, then the cost of gas isn't really a problem for you.

Awesome backyard birthday show. Loving Someone You Can Count On and digging the brass. I can't place why, but it makes me feel like I'm listening to a Wes Anderson film.

Children, from Famous L. Renfroe as The Flying Sweet Angel of Joy

Great album of spirituals. Comforting like a big hug

Looks like we might have a bumper crop of grapes this year. Can't wait to freeze them for a summer treat!

In an effort to avoid going for a run, I'm digging a trench in my backyard before my work day starts

All my kids have sticker charts to reward good habits. I was feeling left out, so my partner made one for me. I decided to reward myself with one sticker for brushing and flossing before bed and another sticker for getting in bed before 9:30. I brushed and flossed last night!!!

Pulled out all my eurorack type synth builds and realized that I may have blown both my power supplies by using a 2amp wall wart instead of 1amp. I'm not getting any negative voltage from either. Building synth stuff is 90% troubleshooting...

It's a Boris kind of day. Sometimes I just need an intense drone for an overly long period of time

Will be a bit cooler tomorrow, so I did a large feeding of my pet sourdough starter this morning. Will have 1.5kg of ready by tomorrow morning for some bread and pizza dough

I really notice and appreciate the little things early in the morning. Today it was the beautiful green and blue in the bathroom window. Also, realized that it's been about a year since my bathroom mirror broke and I only occasionally miss it.

#littlethings
Small bathroom window colored blue and green from the trees and sky outside. The wall is white. Where a mirror would have been, there are two screws

Yeah, I'd call that some reasonably active sourdough starter.

Walked into Luigi's and was super confused. Guess a couple years after I moved to DC, they got a new owner and remodeled. Feels more like a bar that sells pizza. I miss the old Luigi's. Hopefully the pizza hasn't changed

Back to breadboarding. Problem with taking a long break from building a synth is that I've lost track of where I was at in the build and at some point I messed it up and I'm not sure if it's on the code or soldering side. So, back to the breadboard to see if it's a code issue

Fixing the power cord on my hand blender because it had split and exposed the wires.
