I could spend way too much time photographing the inside of this hotel.

Went out to Ann Arbor tonight and found a vintage M-65 army field jacket, huge bummer that it was just too small for me to wear comfortably 😭. After wearing this tho I want one!

I’m still really struggling learning this lock. It’s kinda frustrating, not gonna lie. Haven’t even gotten into a false set once.

Friday night went down to Detroit and had a lovely time at a bar and a few breweries. I’d love to try and do this more when I can.

Gotta also point out that his daughter got scammed for trying to buy a fursuit, so Violent J not only posted a callout post about the scammer, but also found a new artist who made a partial suit for her and him as well! They attended Midwest FurFest in Rosemont IL in 2018.

Been loving reading The People’s Project. An endorsement for me, for the current time.
The book The People’s Project, curated by Saeed Jones and Maggie Smith. It sits upon a glass outdoor table with potted plants as the centerpiece.

Also, we went to Ugly Dog Distilling, got to try some liquors and their Yellow L'Excuse, a locally made chartreuse alternative. Was quite nice, would love to get a bottle for myself sometime.
A tabletop featuring a cocktail made with gin, yellow l'excuse, honey, lemon, and egg white with the dried fruit garnish. Also is a shot glass with a standalone sample of the yellow l'excuse, and the bottle of it in the background.

Kinda like this photo I took while in Chelsea today.
A photograph close to a railroad line. To the left is an old train station, converted into an event space. In the foreground to the right is a sign saying "Danger Amtrak passes at 80mph stand well back". Further back on the right is a clocktower. In the faar background is a plant along the tracks for Jiffy Mix, a boxed cooking mix.

30 mile bike ride yesterday. Was wonderful.
A bike path on the right side of an interstate highway, with green grass on both sides of the path, a bright blue sky, and puffy clouds.

Such a lovely day out in Ann Arbor yesterday. Went to Dawn Treader, Vault of Midnight, Bløm, Ann Arbor Distillery, and others.
A long, somewhat narrow row of books extending along nearly the whole length of the store. Paper labels stick out from the shelves noting the subjects including Cats, Horses, Darwin, Evolution, Fishing, Scouting, Gardens, etc. Photographed inside of the Dawn Treader, a used book store in Ann Arbor. The exterior to Ann Arbor Distilling Company, with two painted sliding bay doors, a garden of plants including milkweed, and outdoor tables and chairs. The interior ground floor of Vault of Midnight from near the back of the store. Comics and various nerdy paraphernalia line the walls for sale. Two books I purchased lying on a table back at home. “The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America” by Matt Kracht, and “Who’s Afraid of Gender?” By Judith Butler.

Two new locks to learn, picked open the Abus once last night. These are definitely going to force me to improve some skills.
A photo of an Abus 41/40 laminated padlock and an American Lock Series 1105 in blue. The abus 41/40 opened. The tools used were covert instruments 20thou short hook and a 32 thou top of keyway turning tool from the CI reaper set.
