It's getting that time of year where I can barely get the dog walked around the block after work before it's getting dark. (Around the block is ~3 miles) #dogsofmastodon

The #MinnesotaStateFair: a quirky blend of just about everything imaginable. It started in 1859 and continues to be immensely popular here in Minnesota. It spans cultures, regions, ages, genders, religions, interests, styles, activities ... really and literally everything.

It's warming up in my home office, one of my balls is starting to drop. #GallileoThermometer (just to be clear) Also, sad I can't keep this at work anymore because of the no personal items on desks policy.

I went for a hike around #JayCooke state park this evening. The trees are already starting to show a little color around here.

I didn't start up a fire, but after mowing the lawn I just hung out by the fire bit for a bit with the dog because the weather was too perfect. Looking up ... solo dog dad weekend ...

Golden rod (with what I think is) Phlox in the background. From my dog walk around the block yesterday. The seasons keep rolling and these flowers remind me we are pretty far through the summer, cooler weather and then fall is not far around the […] [Original post on social.makerforums.info]

Rode 33 miles on the DWP trail (and part of the Munger trail) on my 30 year-old bike that I've kept going. One part of me kinda wants to upgrade to something newer, but the other part likes that this bike is simple and pretty bulletproof. I really […] [Original post on social.makerforums.info]

Evening of the 4th, fireworks are neat, but nature is the best (photo straight off my phone with no mods or filters.)

I haven't figured it all out yet, but I know a few things it isn't. :-)

No mow June leaves the wildflowers to take over the hill in our front yard. I'll mow in a month or two when the flowers wind down so trees don't start to grow here.

Visited a nearby "pioneer" cemetery in MN where most of the remaining grave stones are from the later 1800's. It is a peaceful spot carved into the middle of the woods. The wild flowers are really starting to come in now around here. Lots of birds […] [Original post on social.makerforums.info]

Whew, just finished a 2,970 mile road trip. Duluth to Mpls (drop off the dog) to central Minnesota (pick up my mom) to just west of Denver (visit my bro and my other bro and his family and drop off my mom to spend the week there.) Then on to Buena […] [Original post on social.makerforums.info]

After a long hot humid day or working on yard projects, Grandpa likes to jump in the lake to cool off and then leaves his clothes to dry on top of the wishing well. The wishing well is right outside the front door, but it does create the potential for an awkward moment or two.

Not sure it was worth the adventure, but it's up and running. I installed a pi-hole on my home network. I spent about $70-ish on a Raspberry pi 3b+ from adafruit. That didn't come with a micro sd card so I spent another $25 on amazon for 32Gb card […] [Original post on social.makerforums.info]
