Had an impromptu breakfast with a buddy this morning, and decided we should do a quick hike afterwards. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Pima Canyon at South Mountain Park & Preserve. A major benefit of Phoenix life is that we were at the trailhead maybe 6 mins later. Nice to get outside!

Thanks to Justin Searls for releasing POSSE Party, which will crosspost your blog posts to a bunch of social media platforms—freeing you from their grips without severing your friendships. It’s a free, self-hosted (docker-based) app, worth of your attention.

If you’ve followed along on our misadventures in replacing our windows and getting shutters, you may recall that the entire fiasco was to finally end today, with the installation of the delayed shutters and the 5th (and final) attempt to fix the window install.
Welp, we’re on to round 6 in 3 weeks.

I looked back in my photo library to post today’s OTD photo from our 100-day adventure last year, only to discover that I took exactly zero photos. I was quite sick and didn’t leave the hotel room. We’ll see if that holds for tomorrow’s post, too. It was a rough few days.

Quite happy with this vehicle-specific magsafe phone mount by Course Motorsports. We’ve always struggled to find a second phone mount for Jen’s car that could actually works okay (there’s really only one spot that works well), but this thing fits perfectly. Install was mind-numbingly easy, too.

I recently bought a vacuum sealer for sous vide and freezing meat, and damn I can’t believe I waited so long to buy one. Also added a dedicated sous vide container and set up an always-ready spot for it.

We’re plotting out next week’s road trip around Georgia, Alabama, & Florida…and I realized we’ll likely pass close to Britton Hill—the “high point” of Florida.

I’m going to start a little “On This Day” photo challenge to repost one photo per day from last year’s big 100 Day Adventure around the world. Seems like a fun way to look back!

It’s been a decade since I’ve had a desktop document scanner, and it’s time to remedy that. I’m looking at the ScanSnap iX2500. Anyone have one, or have a different one they like? I need duplex, single-pass scanning with an auto feeder, preferably one-click, via wifi or directly to a NAS.
