Hal fixing a lightbulb kind of day. Go to get a fresh bath towel. Damp because the sink is leaking. Go get some tools. Flashlight is really weak. Check with multimeter, <1v. Grab the last 4 AAAs. Put AAAs on the shopping list. Go back to tear apart the faucet. Looks like a crushed o-ring.
Two o-rings that are crushed.

That was not too hard. 10 Lucky St. San Francisco. It has not changed one bit in 80 some years.
Google street view showing the same street in 2025 the Luis was asking about. The street view is unchanged structurally. On the right are 4 apartments with square bay windows on the second floor just like in the 1938 photo. On the left there is a 3 story apartment with a back stair with a metal mesh door opening onto the street. Then a fenced off plot, a garage and a set of 2 story apartments with stairs up to the second floor that are parallel to the street. There is gingerbreading at the roof line. This matches the 1938 photo. The horizon of Bernal Heights also matches the older photo.

A get Songbird sticker on an Argon 18 TT bike. Blast from the past. Songbird used the Mozilla Firefox #XUL / #XULRunner tech stack.
A close up of the seat tube of a time trial bike with a get Songbird sticker on it. Songbird was a music player based on the Firefox tech stack. The sticker has a black bird shaped like a sphere holding a set of over the ear headphones on such that they are vibing out to music. A picture of the full bike that the previous photo was cropped from. A sad Argon 18 time trial bicycle that has been hacked to be a swept back bar "comfort" bike.

Seriously distracted by the wet oily AI generated figurines.
Screenshot from the video showing a AI recreated Madrid Parliament. The Madrid president stands in the center at a podium. There are quarter circles of seating with a few people sitting facing the speaker. All the people have an odd shininess and look like plastic toys. The seal of the city in the background has a significant tell of AI. It is a smeary mess. A couple circles inscribed with some odd blobs inside them.

Broke out of my small circle critiquing MaraLago food in the style of @katewagner.wehwalt.net bsky.app/profile/kevi...
Screenshot of a picture of a dinner plate from mar a lago posted on Twitter. The food is both expensive and carelessly assembled. The main feature is a shelled lobster claw flaccidly drooped across the center of the plate. The wrist of the lobster claw is elevated on something, maybe a scallop or a lobster tail? There is some sort of cream sauce or foam topping. Next to it is a green quenelle with an unusual texture. It is chunky. Above it is a salad of some sort. Frisee? There are 9 peas crookedly arranged in a semicircle going from about 11 o'clock to 7. Beneath the peas and lobster there is a thinly sliced white circle, guessing potato.

Nome, AK. Had no plans on riding while up helping some family. Friends of theirs loaned me a 2022 Trek Checkpoint ALR 5. He recommended a 20mi/30km loop up a close by hill. Headwind for 2/3 of the ride, bike that was a size too big, in street clothes. Still by far the best ride of 2025.
Nome, AK. A landscape showing rolling hills with reds and browns. Small houses and gold mining operations dot the landscape.  A grey dirt road stretches from the bottom right up to about 2/3rds of the way up the right side. On the right side there is a radar station, which its main feature is a white sphere 30' across supported by a large metal tripod. There are some small auxiliary buildings on a platform. High white fluffy clouds cover almost all the sky, there is one small patch of blue.A landscape in Nome, AK. A ramshackle single room house with weathered wood is on the verge of collapse. A telephone pole is just off to the left of the house with wires running left to right across the image. The house is surrounded by brush and tundra plants. Being October the plants have started dying back for the winter, yellow, brown and red colors dominate the landscape.

Saw the Oregon Heritage Rail Center Holiday Train on my evening bike ride.
The Polson Logging Co. No 2 train engine loading passengers in front of the Oregon Rail Heritage Center, https://orhf.org/. It is a classic early looking steam engine with steam coming out of several ports on the top and bottom of the train. The train is in a 3/4 profile showing the right side. The Polson Logging Co. No 2  at Oaks Bottom in Portland, OR. The train is steaming away from the viewer. There is an open rail car with people on it and then a classic 1920s heavyweight passenger rail car with PACIFIC RAILROAD PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION written above the windows in gold lettering. There are multicolor Christmas lights along the top and bottom of the car and there is a wreath made of lights. There are some pine trees and bare trees just behind the train.BNSF 3613 engine being used as a power car for the holiday train. It is a compact switching diesel locomotive in orange and black BNSF color scheme. In front of the engine are two bicyclists exiting the Springwater Corridor path moving parallel to the engine.The No 2 engine crossing SE Ivon St. about to return to https://orhf.org. The train is running parallel to SE Water St and there are several markings for bicycle lanes and the entrance to the Springwater MUP.

2h13m! The question? How long would it take to get from the photo to the deli? That is best case, most other times are 2h30m to just shy of 3h.
A screenshot of Google Maps displaying several routes from Marble House, Newport, RI to the deli where the gift card is valid. The routing is set to arrive around noon on a Friday. The least duration route is 4 busses and 2h13m. There are several other options with 3 busses that are 2h30m to 2h45m.

Oregon Heritage Rail Center was steaming up Polson Logging Co. 2 engine today in preparation for the holiday season rides
A black classic steam locomotive with a tender car. On the side of the cab of the engine is a white number two inside a white rectangle. The tender car is labeled Polson Logging Co. It is a 2-8-2 "Mikado" and if you want to read more about it Wikipedia has a article about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polson_Logging_Co._2

In the foreground there are two lines of empty rail, next a chainlink fence, then the engine and in the background there is the Tilikum Crossing and the Portland west hills.

Portland Bridge Pedal Fremont start provides some unique angles of the Union Pacific Albina Yard. Every other day of the year this highway bridge is the motor vehicle only I-405/I-5 interchange. #pdx #trains
A black and white photo of a Union Pacific engine #5254 taken from above and 3/4 profile. It is connected to two other engines that are only partially shown. The right hand one is mated back to back to #5254. There are several other empty tracks with switches in the fore and background.The main element of the photo is a train repair building with three lines of track exiting it. On the track there are 3 Union Pacific locomotives that have exited the repair building. Behind the building is the classification yard where there are a dozen or more train sets of various lengths. There are a wide variety of railcars. Lumber cars, grain cars, tanker cars, box cars, auto carrier cars, flat bed trailer cars, etc in a chaotic arrangement. There are some grain silos behind the classification yard. In the distance there is the St. Johns bridge Bridge and rolling hills.
