Today will be my kid's 21st and 22nd train ride. I have a running note of every trip. His shortest trip was five minutes long because we got on the wrong train

I saved $90 (low estimate) by taking the Metrolink instead of driving 114 miles to the LA River. The monetary value barely scratches the benefits. Three extra hours of playing with the kiddo cannot be monetized

There is currently only one node with tag camera:type=obscura on @openstreetmap.bsky.social, operated by @ucriverside.bsky.social Art Department. Should it be added as an official tag? Maybe represented by an upside down camera?

For around $10 I bought a big box of old hard drive magnets. I'm using two to secure a broken pin to my backpack. They work great, and I'm kinda thinking of breaking all the sharp bits off the rest of my pins

Today on a bike ride with my kid my leg started to suffer shooting pains if I pedaled hard. I increased my ebike assist and made it up a hill to home without too much more pain. The ride could have been ruined without the assist

Non-level boarding just cost me a box of cookies. I was lifting the stroller into the train and a box slipped out of the bottom holder area. Then I kicked it into the tracks 🙃 bye bye cookies. I hope you were delicious

You know the crazy thing about being half deaf? It kinda has its benefits. I sleep like a baby. I face my bad ear towards things I don't want to hear. Would still prefer to have two working ears but I do have to be honest. Permanent loud tinnitus can be annoying

After two failed attempts, I have finally made Good Gnocchi. The secret? Actually following the recipe!! And because I was strapped for time and couldn't make a good sauce, I just dumped canned marinara on it. Shrug.

Having done the briefest of history research, I found that not everything is digitized yet, and what is, might be behind a paywall. Just goes to show how spoiled we are with @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social and @archive.org

Gravity in 2013. Not because of the movie, far from it. This was my second viewing and I convinced a friend to join. Something was wrong with the sound which cut off a fair bit of dialog and other background sounds. I wanted my friend's experience to be perfect

Biking culture in Riverside runs deep. Bike lanes are not a new fad but a return to an age of easy and freeing transportation
