Did anyone involved with Claude read Cats Cradle?

When I was much smaller 😞 and running and stuff, I bought a bunch of nice clothes! Tweed three piece suits, lots of ties, and fancy shoes! The ties and shoes still fit. 😞💩

Beautiful “single cut” dress shoes in black. These shoes are formed from one piece of leather. Have one seam down the back. The right footwear for a clean tuxedo! ❤️

We have decided to change the name of the formerly named San Andres Fault…

I have coaxed 2/3 of the Carols out of the coop and down the ramp, with food and water.

Ten three week old chicks at the bottom of the red wooden ramp from the henhouse to the coop.

Question for people who read Vonugut, and that should be all of you, what is this?

There are fifteen chicks in our front yard!

This morning’s view of the New York Green Cloud power plant/data center project they are working on, 2/3 mile from our front door.

Dark early morning picture of the light pollution already happening at the Power plant/data center project.

The look out my front door ten minutes ago. A company called New York Green Cloud is refurbishing a mothballed power plant and plan on building a data center 2/3 mile from our home.

Dark picture of the light pollution from the power plant here in Ione CA. Top left of frame shows the eave of our house. The center shows lots of yellow and white lights spilling all over this nice rural valley. Trees on the right.

Well it’s way down the project list (like I probably won’t live that long) but this 1967 M715 (“5/4”) needs an all mechanical Cummins, pretty badly.

Old yellow 1967 M715 militarized Kaiser Jeep truck. These were only built for three years. They have extra heavy frames, with the same layout as a J300, but with a D60/D70. And just heavy duty everything. Many like this one went to fire companies. Powered by a “before their time” OHC 230 Straight 6, gas engine coupled to a T98 four speed, and a divorced Spicer 20 transfer case. Those tires are 36 inches tall and that’s the stock suspension.

Yes, I think all the captives I have seen were rescues/unreleasable. I wonder how different our nation would be if Franklin’s choice for national bird had prevailed…

It’s not a normal dream but it is our dream.

I lime “washed” the bathroom wall in the straw bale ADU today and it might actually be too white!

Straw bale wall with window. Fresh lime wash applied. Step stool and sprayer (on vanity) in foreground. Light gray concrete lower window sill and dark stained wood lintel above winder. Bumper crop of milk thistle can be seen outside window. 🤦🏼

Plastering! Then late B day dinner! (I do a lot of nothing at work)

My random theater picture for today. Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, today, waiting on a children’s dance thing…

Memorial Auditorium from near FOH mix position. Looking across the floor of this beautiful ballroom/concert hall, over the back of hundreds of ridiculously heavy dark red folding chairs. Hard railings in the foreground.

Let me put it this way. After using it even a few minutes, your back, shoulders, and arms will be sore, but the real problem in how hard it makes walking… 🤷‍♂️🏀⚽️=🌏 Mine in a 1973 McCullough 10-7 pro. It is like a hand Harley Davidson.

The house project is coming along. Slowly, fits and starts, but getting there.

The Straw bale ADU we are building for our BiL.
This shows the “ships ladder to the loft,the upper, West windows and my orange lift to get high!

Looking S/E into the kitchen. Shows the exposed “red iron” beam.

A better look at the west wall and upper windows. The exterior walls are straw bales with clay plaster the interior walls are standard studs and drywall.

Just before going to bed last night, this fucking nightmare was out in the middle of our kitchen floor. I’m fairly pro spiders, and will escort them out once or twice, but once I swatted something like this, I still creep out thinking about it. I got “mom” but the uncountable explosion of babies…

Mother spider with an upsetting number of tiny baby spiders riding on her back. Fucking horror! And they are so fast! 🤮😬💩👎

Got around to hitting a hard new challenge today. I had a good bit of fear about this, really needed it to turn out good. I think it will. It’s a poured in place concrete window sill in the straw bale house we are building.
