My annual coffee fundraiser where I bring all my gear to the office to raise money for the food bank.

I learned to drive in an old blue Volvo wagon. It was fantastic and led to my later love of all things wagon. (This was a few years ago, I'm down to zero but also have no kids to shuttle)

I finally had to replace one of the LED bulbs I installed when we bought the house. Over 13 years ago. LED bulbs were quite new, and I think these were close to $50 a piece back then. But 13+ years is amazing, look at that heat sink. The new ones are cheaper but not nearly so well engineered.

Not really, pressure canning just requires a suitable attention to detail.

Our resident backyard bunny. They've been hanging out for a few weeks, we think they live under the deck and there may be a few of them.

Working from home today and I'm noticing how much the old pupper sleeps during the day. She's almost 14 and if she needs a few naps I'm all for it.

Old engineers are incorrigible, we just need a paper notebook. So I picked up a new one yesterday, and it was a pleasant surprise it was made in Canada. Who knew?

Sometimes the city makes some odd choices for temporary signage. This is at the bottom of a hill in the middle of a narrow pathway entrance.
Someone must have complained because now it is in the middle of the pathway halfway up the hill.
