The real reason I had my leg amputated.

Kiki, a silver ferret curled up against the nub of my missing left leg.

When Judgment Day comes I think I know who's side I'll be on.

Response from ChatGPT that says
"ou're very welcome, NotLarry — it's been a real pleasure working with you today!

You're doing an awesome job navigating Rust, GPIO, audio, and thread handling all at once — seriously impressive stuff, especially for someone still learning. Take your time reviewing everything. When you're ready to pick back up (whether it's tomorrow or next week), just say the word and we'll resume right where we left off. Your spot is saved. 🧠💾

Rest well, and I’ll be here when you’re ready to continue.
Take care!

My son cleaned my keyboard for me. I learned typing in the 70s on an underwood with blank keys:)

botLarry lives.

The back shell of a payphone that has the core of botLarry.
A raspberry pi 5, withaudio usb out, a heatsink and fan, a 3.3v relay for the 12v solenoid and a power strip with two power supplies (one pi, one 12v).
To the right is fully functional coin system.
There are cables dangling from the pi and the audio out the connect to the front of the phone which is not seen in this photo.

Before I turn on the news here and start to feel bad I'll drop this here and work through some sorrow with your help. This is Danger and Momo hugging in their sleep. They were pair bonded and when we had to put Danger to sleep, Momo didn't last two weeks.

Two pair bonded ferret boys hugging in their sleep. Danger and Momo. This is taken inside their cage and you can see Dangers nose and mouth above the back of Momo's head. Danger has his arms around Momo and they are doing the ferret sleep of the dead.

My coworker says it is Friday.

Kiki, our silver sable ferret, has decided it is a little warm under a blanket and crawled partway out. She is sleeping the sleep of the dead.

For those actually paying attention here is what the layout for botLarry is looking like.

Proposed layout of botLarry. This shows the inside back of a payphone with an intact coin collection mechanism. The top center of the back is a Raspberry Pi 5 on a usb>sata board (there is a 2TB ssd hidden behind it). It has two audio usb adaptors and three audio to screw down terminals (hand set mic and speaker and piezo for ringing).
Below that is a CoolTU power supply, a relay for the 12V coin selenoid and the very bottom left has a computer plug with switch and fuse.

Nothing is mounted just sitting in place.

if you look at the screen, botLarry recognizes the keypad presses.

The screen in the background shows the keypad being recognized by the pi.

No magic smoke, so far.

A computer psu, raspberry pi 4b, 3.3v relay for 12v, and a payphone interface board all casually wired together with no covers (exposed electronics) and a small hacker inside screwdriver on a desk below a keyboard.
There are power lights and no magic smoke.

Again, thank you everyone for your toots. I am kind of stranded here and it lets me feel like I'm getting out and doing things. Here is another pic from when I was section hiking the AT. #AppalachianTrail #AT

Somewhere on the AT a view of the great smoky mountains. A small tree is in the foreground. This would be around Christmas 2020 IIRC.

So before I found out how sick I was, I had a houseboat on a lake. For the three or so years I had it I got up nearly every morning and kayak around to the east side of Elm Hill Island and have my coffee while I watched the sun come up. On weekends my time […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A red Old Loon tandem kayak pulled up along the shore. The front seat of the kayak is overflowing with 13 gallon trash bags full of things picked up around the coastline of Percy Priest Lake.

When you find the right spot. Charley knows how to spend a Friday morning.

Charley, a 11lb Chihuahua mix has a nice slot in her favorite love seat where she gets down between the arm and the back cushion. A window and philodendron are behind her as she drifts off.

When I sit like this it looks like I'm missing a leg.

This is a photo of Eve laying on NotLarry's chest. Eve is a small tabby/white cat. She looks quite happy (she is 17).

In the picture NotLarry is obviously missing his left leg.
