This is a pretty Idaho headline.
Headline says "stop leaving your gun in the car; 175 vehicle burglaries in Nampa so far this year."

A glass break detector reported a low battery, and the alarm company was a little overzealous in its reporting on the situation as I changed it.
Screenshot of FIVE emails regarding the changing of a battery.

The "acid test" has a more direct meaning in my biz.
2 pictures of a whetstone with karat gold scratches on it. There is a dollop of testing acid on the metal.

Every time I have to change an AirTag battery I am reminded how bad Jonny Ive sucks.

been a while since I absolutely had my ass kicked by a poem...
The Poem with No End, By Linda Hogan For those who don’t come to the end of this poem, some harsh and endless wave of ocean will bring to you the forever vision, the way a mother weeps the salt of ocean from her eyes. A father searches forever, thinking back to how it happened that one country turned against itself, unleashed the poison and army on its quiet citizens until some travelers risked life for amnesty, paid all to journey in the rubber float with others all too low in the water, no one moving. The father speaks to the child, Look at the flying fish. Look son, the whale on the horizon. See the long shining of the quiet ocean. A small fish lands on a girl’s lap. She only smiles. But water has many voices and unknown, unseen waves. A human is a meager thing in such immensity, the way a little shoe is small on the stones where unknown travelers hoped for amnesty. And though the mother and father searched a lifetime, all that was ever seen was a shoe, the small cold shoe washed up on dark stone.

We went into full tilt pot sticker production this morning. Might be enough to last us all day.
Delicious pot stickers browning in the pan. Approximately 1 million pot stickers.

It is a good day.

Welp. I am sending off my gold. This tub is full of vacuum bags, bench sweeps, buffer filters and karat gold. Approximately 16lbs.

The refinery I use is so busy they put at 20lb minimum on silver, so I'm keeping that.

For once I am hoping for a run on the market.

I’m cleaning my attic and have zero memory of flying anywhere with PA gear 4 years ago. Like, none. This did not happen. And yet…

I've been wondering about this for 3 days.
3 abandoned mattresses lay next to a fenced off utility area. One is propped against the fence and in large black letters says "BLACK ANTS."

This beauty was just loose outside my shop, which is dangerously close to Vista. I was trying to lure him with treats when I heard his panicked owner calling for him. Possibly a special needs guy who was really scared for his baby. It is a good day!

I had the distinct honor of being the very first person to donate to Radio Boise. I hadn't even met Jeff yet, but I knew what a boon community radio could be. To see the current management trash the first amendment is infuriating. They have seen the last of my money.
We have become aware of inflammatory comments posted by one of our volunteer programmers on social media. We want to make it clear that these comments do not reflect the values or position of Radio Boise. As a nonprofit community radio station, Radio Boise is reliant on volunteers to fuel our mission of service to our community. This volunteer acted without authorization and in direct violation of Radio Boise policies. All Radio Boise volunteers are expected to uphold our code of conduct, which requires treating all people with dignity and respect in all communications, including social media. While Radio Boise strongly supports free speech and diverse viewpoints, we do not condone inflammatory or violent rhetoric of any kind. The volunteer in question has been removed from our programming effective immediately. Radio Boise will continue to uphold the highest standards as we serve our community by providing independent, responsible broadcasting. We value your continued trust as we move forward together.

This star sapphire is insane. I don't even *want* to know how much this is worth. I did put a torch to it though...this job can be tough on the nerves.
A workmans hand holds a bezel set star sapphire. It has 6 stars and they are blazing. It's a verrrry nice blue.
