You can tell I have nothing planned for tonight. Feels good to have a free weekend.

Just playing with an app.

secret nature preserve daytime

Morning coffee in the secret nature preserve. I used the west entrance this time. j/k. You just walk to the back of the yard, and you’re in.

dial-up

Thinking back to the 90’s when home net access was by dial-up over copper phone line and hoping all modem lines weren’t busy.

outdoor hideaway

Hiding out at midnight in the secret nature preserve. WiFi reaches from house.

forced shopping adventure

At the Harris Teeter (supermarket), my favorite ice cream was on sale. I had already gotten a cake that was also on sale. To return the cake to its cooler would have required traversing the entire store, so I was forced to keep both desserts though I had intended to only buy one.

Same with the alcohol. I had already been to the liquor store for a large bottle of my favorite tequila. At the supermarket, my favorite beer was on sale. I was forced to get double alcohol.

I saved a lot of money today.

pride music

The music gets good during Pride month. Enjoying. I have a couple of days off to play.

so many photos

The Help/About images for our favorite file manager and image viewer are quite beautiful. Caja is the file manager. Eye of MATE is the image viewer. We have so many gigs of photos that it’s important that these work well.

There are many other good ones out there.

at-home hideaway

Brian created a hidden area in the back of the yard that we are calling the nature trail or or the nature preserve. It’s nice to be almost downtown and be able to hide. The business and street lighting create a green glow.

He also installed a solar powered battery chandelier.
