I don't watch this tv, it's just a cat tower
A dilute tuxie is snoozing on top of an old-school catode ray tube tv. There are photos and a blue sky with contrail reflected in the surface of the tv. A carpeted cat tower is in the foreground on the right, mostly cropped out of the frame.

Final reciept (.6*4)+.7=3.1mi and change since I rounded. But I also fiddled around taking photos and recording snarles of gps lines. Not bad for a newly healed 4th metatarsal. Was definitely expecting to need to make another attempt later.
A screen capture of a stava workout called "hiked around angel lake" showing a distance of .7mi. There is a photo of a tarn with a low rise supplemental dam at the outlet in the background and a gnarly tree growing out of a big rock in the forground. The hike is dated 11/11/2025

Thank you to everyone who donated to my #celiac #fundraiser (I personally have it and miss me a taco truck burrito). Here are my reciepts give.celiac.org/fundraiser/6...
A screen shot of a strava profile for an event called "last loop of night" showing a distance of .60 and a photo of aurora and a date of nov 11, 2025 A screen shot from strave of a workout called "another loop" for .61 miles on nov 11, 2025. There's a map view of the loop. A screen capture of a strava workout titled "checking trap and enjoying aurora" for a distance of .65mi on nov 11, 2025 A screen capture of a strava record of a walk titled "cat trapping in closed campground" for adistance of .66mi. There's a map of the campground loop with a depiction of the walk in red and white. The white part is within the safety buffer of the hidden start while the red is publically viewable. I'm not concerned you know where the campground is that had an abandoned cat in it. We were able to catch the kitty the next day in the trap I set.

Sweet girl has been caught. No chip. She's in stray hold at the Elko NV shelter if anyone would like a sweetheart

Aurora from the East Humboldts near Wells Nevada
Red glow in sky with stars poking through. More red glow in the black sky with stars visible through it. Redy purple glow in the sky. Some oats are brighter than others.

Stinky salmon treat involved. I'm fucked off fishing further up the road, I'll check back later. No response to kittykitty trills or pspsps.
A live trap is sitting on a cement pad behind a stinkless outhouse. The black chimney that draws the smell out of the vault through solar heating is adjacent to the trap. Fall leaves are scattered about and there's a grove of naked aspen standing about chatting.

More progress in the Elko Community Garden :) got a path leveled and mulched and a new bed measured in and leveled among other shoulder season tasks
A 15ft raised garden bed with a mulched walkway next to it. There is cardboard peeking out along one edge of the mulch indicating it was used as weed barrier. A gentleman is bent over working on something in the mid ground. Closer to the camera is a raised bed with cardboard lining the bottom to kill weeds. A shovel land against the bed to the left and a yellow ocher wheelbarrow is parked to the right. There is a hedge row of trees in the back ground with a church peeking over it. The sky is mostly cloudy but bright white ones with slivers of cornflower sky.

A pace line of 5 of us relocating water to the cache, so it's ready to go out to a fire for the humans to drink. #wildfire #wildlandfirefighter #firesupport #myworkmatters
The back end of several pickups each with a whole pallet of water bottles loaded in it. There is a pallet on top and straps over that. The front visible truck is a stake side (Think wooden rail fence sides).

Here are both nuggets in a photo
Two kittens are huddled on a colorful beach towel in a bathtub. One is an orange tabby with handsome white eye liner, the other is a calico with an orange blaze on is forehead like a bindi. She also has gorgeous white details highlighting her eyes and muzzle.

Is anyone willing to foster 2 feral kittens? Young enough to tame down. The dog where they live has unalived two litter mates. Colleagues have caught the tortie and are working on the orange @jortsthecat.bsky.social merch. Located in elko, nv. Willing to transport them to reno, slc, boise etc.
A smol torti kitten snuggles an anonymous person. The kitten has a glorious orange blaze on her forehead. The kitten is checking to see if you have tube snacks. Her orange blaze is visible as she looks to the left Kitten has snuggled into the elbo pit and is looking up at you from the lap she is occupying. She has white eyeliner and chin/lower jaw with a striking dark outline of the sides of her nose making a v from the middle of her top lop to the inner corner or her eyes.

Thanks to everyone who has donated time and $ the elko community garden is coming along in our new location
A view of a community garden of raised beds looking diagonal abouts the rows. There is a heap of pulled weeds in the right foreground. The rest of the bed are in various states of growth. There are berry happy sunflowers towering over some of the beds (they're 7+ft tall based on standing next to them)

Dear NVEnergy: this is excessive. I know the power is out, I couldn't make breakfast and had to use the emergency release on the garage door to go to work.
A screen shot of recent calls showing a span of 8 minutes on the upper end and one minute on the lower end between calls. And another just came in while i was writing this. My cell has labeled the power company as potential spam.

Well, the community garden is looking better, still an overabundance of weeds.
My personal garden bed with three types of tomatoes and two bell peppers. There is awalking onion splooted out trying to spread all over my garden bed. I'm watering in the transplants on the left side of the photo. An over view of the community garden showing a bed that has ahot mess of weeds in it. The church that hosts us is in the back ground.

Better lighting. My geologist colleague says it's turquoise 🤗 it looks like carlin black matrix turquise.

How do I tell if it's just a blue rock or turquoise. Note I'm under a yellow bug light on the porch
A greasy feeling blue rock is on some fingers that are mid-air above a wooden deck and a foot in a chaco sandal with a toe strap.
