Many thanks to @historyhoarder.bsky.social for providing me and my coworker with an impromptu tour of the Pacific Pinball Museum! And thanks to @pacificpinball.bsky.social for making such a great collection of entertainment history available to the public. We had a great time! Dog Soccer FTW!

@historyhoarder.bsky.social I just realized I am staying 20 minutes from the museum! I’m only here until Wednesday afternoon, so I will make an effort to come by Tuesday after work.

I find myself back in the Pacific time zone and reporting tomorrow to a new company who doesn’t want me there until 9 AM. Some poor diner waitress is going to be seeing a lot of my ugly mug over the next few days.

So if you use Verizon for your cell service, you might try going into the app and requesting the PIN to transfer your service to see if they’ll offer you a 12 month discount.

Also managed to score a couple ft3 of wood chips after a neighbor across the street had their trees trimmed. The contractor was not bothered at all to dump them in my yard before they wrapped up for the day. Exchanged contact info, showed him how to open the gate. Please, anytime, ese.

Officially putting more power into then grid than consuming. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time.
A screenshot of the amount of solar power being generated, consumed, and shipped back to the grid, with an emphasis on 3.8 kw being generated vs. 3.2 kw being sent back to the grid.

Playing VEIN, dropping acid in-game and watching Night of the Living Dead on an in-game TV screen. I can’t express how much this speaks to my soul.

Tried to buy some festive soldering kits from Belgium. The seller has spent €250 and three days trying to find a shipper who will deliver them to me, to no avail. What a stupid fuxking problem to have.

That's a wrap on the 2025 monsoon season. ~75% of New Mexico ended with near to above average rainfall! Some mountain ranges picked up >20" of rain! Northwest New Mexico missed out on most of the monsoon this year with <50% of their average rainfall.

A record number of Flash Flood Warning were issued in New Mexico during this year's monsoon season. 379 in total, beating the old record from 2022 by just 13 warnings. Lincoln County, where Ruidoso is, had the second highest on record. Props to the NWS offices in New Mexico!

Albuquerque had consistent and overall above average dew points almost all monsoon season. Despite that, we ended up 1.41" below average with 3.07" of rain this year. The 32nd driest monsoon on record of 134 years. It was also the 5th warmest.

Tomorrow will be the delivery of last major component of my home energy overhaul, the heat pump. MFers, this kind of project has been my dream for like 20 years, and I’d like to thank this shitty-ass, myopic administration for making it happen. I should never pay another gas or electric bill again.

I struggle with thoughts of afterlife. Tonight, in a venue I would love nothing more than to share with an old friend, I can’t, and I want to be okay with that. Jeff, bro, I miss you, and tho you will never know I said this, I say it anyway. I say it into the ether and hope I’m wrong.

A couple of years ago I bought a cassette player from someone on Craigslist and the guy offered to sell me a box of tapes, both commercially produced and someone’s mix tapes. I just put in a random mix tape and am now unexpectedly listening to the Star Wars soundtrack.

Mexican chile crisp, and I already want to do it all over again, but better.
A black, red, and yellow mix of small bits in a pot. It is a mix of different chiles, garlic, shallots, pepitas, and sesame seeds, all brought together with heat and oil to make a Mexican chile crisp.

The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't. Medium rare steaks and roasted Brussels sprouts are a side effect of an intact food safety infrastructure

An Off the Mark comic. It depicts a scene with two dogs. They both smell each other's faces. Then one turns around and the other smells his butt. "Hey, Phil!" he shouts finally, wagging his tail. At the bottom, the caption "Two factor authentication"

I bought my home last winter. The previous owner showed me the part of the property where she kept her chickens and excitedly gesticulated how good they were are keeping weeds down. I don’t have chickens and that area has been left largely untouched, and now I have plants that are feeding wildlife.

I’ve somewhat readjusted to seeing lizards on the daily, but there are just SO MANY, and today I saw two little black lizards 🦎 I don’t remember seeing at all when I lived here before. Then there’s the angry avocado, Avi, who has been an unexpected pleasure. I’m reintegrating.

As someone who doesn’t believe in an afterlife, one of my biggest challenges is to accept that someone who could have been a beautiful, positive influence on others simply won’t be able to do that in this life or any other. I must, instead, internalize and emulate the influence they did have.

Me to my friend’s cat: lol. it’s almost like you like the box better than the toy! haha! that is so funny. what the heck. Cat: If you loved a joke as much as the laugh, the sun as much as its warmth, your lover as much as their love, you too would love the box as much as the toy, two-legs.

One kitty really, really likes to have her fur roughed. She’s the sweetest, quietest, least in-your-face of the three, but she’ll take a good, hard scratch well beyond the point the other two will get pissy.

I must have missed something in history class.

Nothing like a local wildfire to make for an exciting evening! Got to put the drone to use, tho, and the radios.
Street lights and house lights shine in the darkness in a photo taken from a drone about 300 ft above ground level. In the distance, about a mile away, an orange glow is visible, and the haze of smoke can be seen moving away from it.
