Two weeks ago we unexpectedly lost the best cat I have ever known. His ashes came home yesterday. I still cant believe he’s gone. I will always miss you, Curio.

If I’m being sent to a class at an industrial training center then I think I should at least be able to get to touch some machines. As a treat.
About a million dollars worth of Haas CNC machines. More high end 3D printers than I have ever seen in one lab.

I’m facilitating the rehoming of two sweet cats who belonged to a friend who recently passed unexpectedly. They deserve a stable place to land. 2-3 year old bonded pair, one male one female. Please send me a DM if you have the interest and ability to care for these sweet voids. Located in Oakland.

Just remarkable that a ship built in 56 days, out of mostly off the shelf components and steel, with an estimated lifespan of 4 years, is still afloat and doing her thing 85+ years later.

A friend described standing in this engine room as a religious experience, and honestly, he wasn’t wrong.

Another day of remembering that all the blood sweat and tears I’ve put into this little boat are immediately worth it the second we get out on the water.
A white hulled wooden sailboat sails on a starboard reach on a sunny day. A woman sits on the boom while two people are in the cockpit. A white hulled sailboat on a reach. A woman and a man work the foredeck and two people steer in the cockpit. You can see another boat of the same make in the distance.

Uttered the phrase “raw dogging my trauma” today and made my therapist laugh, which immediately reminded me of this:

I have returned from the frozen north. It is 80 degrees in Oakland today and I am melting.

Working on boats gives you lots of practical skills but also leaves you with incredibly strongly held opinions over things like pens. Want to throw a fun apple of discord into the officer corps? Try to suggest that the .05mm version of this bad boy is superior.

A film that takes place where you’re from: (Woodsboro, California is not real, but Healdsburg is and I spent many a degenerate teenage night drinking Wild Turkey on this exact fountain.)
A still from the 1996 movie Scream.

Pasadena Humane is where my Curio originally came from. I’m too broke to donate right now, but maybe you can. Here’s cat tax to incentivize you.

Deep cleaned my kitchen today which gave me the chance to once again appreciate the very silly sticker an old roommate made me, in the vein of Woody Guthrie’s “this machine kills fascists” guitar.
A red kitchen aid stand mixer with a vinyl decal on it that says “this machine makes focaccia” in the same style and font as Woody Guthrie’s “this machine kills fascists” guitar.

Being able to bust out reasonably tricky assemblies without a pattern, in a matter of minutes brings me so much joy. This brought to you by my partner mentioning he wanted a new first aid pouch for his backpack.

This weekend I found myself flame proofing a wall hanging I made of a dumpster fire in a hotel bathroom, which feels like a metaphor for something but is also still making me cackle with laughter when I think about it.

Saw some bears and steller sea lions, touched a couple glaciers, and saw more northern lights than I could imagine. I’ll probably go back unless I can find another “real” job down here.
