Married - not looking for dates. Interests: anti-authoritarianism, nutrition, health, travel, nature, science, making things, mechanical devices, vehicles, tools, fiction, sci-fi, horror, movies, arm wrestling - I hope you enjoy my snapshots.
@cmc4768.bsky.social I finally tried #YourMom’sHaus in #ElGrenada. It’s a German #pub with emphasis on beer, and food is an afterthought. The schnitzel was ok. The potato salad lacked spices and vinegar. Bratwurst ok, boar with blueberries snags too sweet.

A cute little #BananaSlug was feasting on some gourmet mushrooms. Banana slugs can grow to about 25 cm long, but this one was about 7 cm. Seen on a Marin coastal trail in a redwood forest.

I saw little #mushrooms on a trail. Jim, I'm also not a mycologist, so I would not eat those. I only eat boletes, chanterelles, and field mushrooms, which I know very well.

I was checking out pelicans and seals with grandpa's 20x Wollensak mirror scope. The scope has the lens shade extended in the first image. The second picture shows the mirror in this #MirrorScope, and the reflection shows the foghorn building with the two foghorns at #PigeonPoint Lighthouse.

#PrisonerIsland is just a few hundred yards from #PigeonPoint Lighthouse. The white coloring is guano. Prisoner Ilsand is a very picturesque #birdshit rock.

Some details of the #PigeonPoint Lighthouse. Restoration in progress. You can see the original masonry work (from 1871) exposed in the third image.

HMB #airport in San Mateo County: On the left, a #Cirrus #Vision #SF50. This #plane has its own parachute. No need to jump in case of an impending crash.
The plane on the right is a #Cozy Mark IV, and apparently, it has suffered nose landing gear failure, as the nose wheel has not been deployed.

The #I.D.E.S. Society* is located right next to the giant pumpkin display in HMB. There is also a neat #mural on another building right there.
* This local #Portuguese Divine Holy Spirit organization was founded in 1871. There were once many Portuguese fishermen living in the area.

The winner of this year's giant #pumpkin contest was a local man from Santa Rosa. That pumpkin weighs more than my Mini Cooper S R59 without me in it. With me, in it, I and my ride outweigh the pumpkin. I'd hate getting into a collision with a giant pumpkin! 😜

#Arata's Pumpkin Farm has currently a #Halloween theme going. I think they'll keep it going all the way through and maybe even past Thanksgiving. They also have some nicely rusted and decaying tractors with lovely textures and colors of entropy in action.

Here's my, uhm, #breakfast. A #chicken breast, #BrusselsSprouts, bell #peppers, #onions, Japanese sweet #potato, and #tomatoes.
Japanese sweet potato tastes like #chestnuts. It can be eaten hot or cold (previously cooked).

All leather parts were dyed and then stitched together with super-strong bonded Nylon thread. And the finished pouch. I made this pouch three years ago, and it has held up well. I took the last picture just an hour ago.

Here you can see the belt loop and how the pouch will fit on the base.
