Spookster and Cackles

The newest additions to my collection of Birds in Hats.

Sears Bodies

There’s a Sears store going out of business and there is a wide variety of body parts for sale.

Solar Home

We had our solar system installed today. No more roof just hanging around not contributing to the household. No longer will sunny days be solely the source of sweat and discomfort.

Once the work is inspected, I can flip a switch as 21 solar panels will capture the sun’s rays and send them into The Grid.

Almost didn’t make it into the parking deck. The attendant apologized to me as I had to duck walking down the entrance ramp.

Tiny scientists

The FDA has a wall covered in tiny scientists.

Bringing the pumps to you!

Leopold

This is Leopold. He was stationed at Maine’s Fort Knox. The only fort I’ve ever visited with a library and a reading room.

Other troops were sent there a few times in history. But they elected to camp outside the fort. There were so many places for cannons. And no cannons were ever sent to the fort.

This fort was built years too late. To combat a threat long past. It’s best seen from across the river, as it sits on a hillside.

Two Scoops

I present you the art installation “two scoops” as performed by Downeast Ice Cream Factory.

Young's Lobster Pound

No lobster roll today.

Whale watching trip was cancelled due to rain.

Puffin trip cancelled due to lack of puffins.

As solace, I direct you to The Bucket List for 2.

Prepared at Young’s Lobster Pound. Where we passed many a lobster and crab.

And when my number was called, I Rose to receive this menagerie from under the sea (and corn).

It was as good as it looked. And we left a large pile of mussels and clams to a very large family(?) party at a nearby table.

Lobster Roll #3

Ordered with a shrimp roll and a haddock sandwich. All were very good. And despite ordering only one with onion rings, we got two.

Operation Crustacean

The plan for vacation is off to a good start.

I published my own thoughts on Luke Smith’s post about Destiny 2 from yesterday.

Simple Stoicism

Good post on Stoicism - canion.me I found from a comment on Potatowire’s site

Boiling it down The easy 1, 2, 3 of stoicism may be presented as: If you can change it, it doesn’t deserve your worry. Go ahead and make the change. Just do it! If you can’t change it, it doesn’t deserve your worry. You can’t fix it, so why stress?2 If you worry about it anyway, you are simply inviting it to tyrannise and traumatise you, indefinitely. Rumination is the worst.

Simple Stoicism.

My car has a backup camera now.

It seems like a good product. The instructions were non-existent. I bought three things from Home Depot to get it working. And I learned how to crimp wiring. And just how flimsy the interior of a Chevy Equinox is.

I watched Another Life on Netflix. I enjoyed the journey and hope there is more to this world. 📺

This is a slow read because I keep stopping to take notes. It’s so good and reflects where I am in my head with social media and connection.

Desk upgrade

I love my Ikea Skarsta desk. It’s a hand-crank adjustable desk meant for sitting or standing. Truth be told, I mainly use it because I can never find a desk tall enough for my 6'5" frame.

When I got it, they did not have the larger desk top. Now, two years later, I am running out of horizontal space and decided to look again. They had it in stock at my local store so I went and picked it up.

So long 27"x 47". Hello 31.5" x 63"!

I’ve had it for two days and it was easy to replace the top and readjust the base. Other than it making me want to rethink how my office is laid out, I love it.
