Just got my #friendica server updated to run in docker after updating my server to use two different zpools on #voidlinux ! Here's a pic of our trip to #Iceland , what a lovely country, would love to go back!

In Los Alamos and hit Bathtub Row Brewing. Prost!
Pint of beer next to can named Hoppenheimer


Roses are red, elections are done...


The "Van Gogh" part of our landscape is springing up. We call it that because it reminds us of #vangogh and his work ”Irises" 😁

The fanciest Chicken and Waffles I've ever seen!

Enjoying this unseasonably cool August night with a firepit using wood from a recent storm, before we pay for it with super warm temps next week.

Pretty cool that #birds have figured out that mud and straw makes a pretty strong #composite for #nests , too!

Got access to the Scott AFB Air Show Practice yesterday from a friend. He serves on the C-40s carrying VIPs all around the world. They actually had SPAR19 at the show, and he let me sit in the VIP section. He said he was pretty sure that this was the seat Speaker Pelosi was in flying over. 🙂

Welp, I did it! Wasn't very active but still felt good to leave. Smell ya later, #twitter !

Got to visit the #spaceneedle in #seattle last week. I've been by it before but never went up. It was really nice inside! Seemed like a fancy hotel, and didn't realize how far up I was until I stepped on the observation deck. 🙂


Nice that they sell ranch in easy sipping single serves! 😉 #midwestlyfe


Good guy proton. Thanks @ProtonMail ! Happy that the support has helped. 👍💪


A co-worker has a wife who travels and was nice enough to share some of the #beer from her recent travel. Enjoyed this Riedenburger very much tonight! ::beer: ::like:


At the place we're staying at in #colorado there is a resident cat named Mr. Beans! #caturday #friendicats

Though apparently on the mountains the weather can whipsaw between 70 F and snow:


Visiting #colorado with my family for my sister's birthday and rented a cool house in the mountains. The roads were a bit perilous but the view waking up was worth it. 🙂

Got up really early to catch the lunar eclipse! This is a combo of several exposures in #photomatix , an #hdr program. Only have a 300 mm lens, so not the most detailed, but very satisfied with the exposure fusion!

Welp, finally pulled the bandaid fully. Transferred the SIM to the #Pixel4a with #grapheneos . Smell ya later, #iPhone !


Our yard is officially a wildlife preserve. Right outside our front door, a cardinal decided to nest and lay some eggs. This is after the deer fawn we see every year, along with a resident groundhog.


Saw a couple goldfinches outside of my window a few days ago! Thinking about setting out some thistle to see if I can attract a few more. :-)

Even with just a 1:1 mixture of compost:manure, most things did pretty well. Unfortunately we underestimated the affinity for a squash plant we started from a store-bought squash seed for the bed, it ended up dominating everything else:


I did a thing!


Made another raised bed to put in the yard. This one is going to grow lots of lettuce and other greens...hopefully. :-)
