Afternoon kayaking around the lake (river) today. Finally got a chance to paddle to the dam at the upstream end. Another time I’ll have to go get a picture of the dam at the downstream end

So it turns out that WMATA still has some old special edition SmarTrip cards from several years ago available on their web store. This one made for the opening of the Silver Line in 2014 is really cool. Looking forward to using it!

After learning I did *not* need to install an antenna on the roof to do so, I’ve set up an ADS-B receiver with a Raspberry Pi and USB SDR in the window behind my desk. I’m seriously impressed that it’s able to pick up planes over 60 miles away!
