Bunch of bees apparently got closed up in the shed after I fed the hives this morning. They were extremely displeased just now when I opened it to up. Guess that door's staying open until after dark tonight. #Beekeeping

Looks like this morning's phone calls will start round 1 of 'structural engineer vs insurance adjuster'. So exciting! 😐 #TreeGate2026

Just a heads up: The middle schooler is raising money for a registered 501c(3) cancer fighting charity. (TapCancerOut) wecan.tapcancerout.org/EmiliaStillHatesCancer She's aiming to raise 400 more dollars by November. 🤷 Just putting it out there. #BJJ #Cancer #Fundraiser

These talking heads are really working hard to avoid saying anything negative about Rocco Becht. It's annoying. #WeAre not amused.

I just going a local dairy that offers pasteurized but non homogenized milk. Kind of psyched to test a few old baking recipes.

It's interesting to see my daughter's friends rather suddenly very interested in the history of Northern Ireland. Not good, not bad, just interesting.

Wife & daughter got new phones recently. Software and hardware compression keeps improving, and yet every video taken on one of those new phones is MASSIVE. I mean like under 10 minutes of FHD @ 30fps reaching 1.5G local storage kind of massive. 🤔 I'm definitely missing something here.

So it's been 24 days since the tree pieces came down, and *while painfully slow*, progress is being made. Sort of. Now it's looking like that nor'easter is actually going to visit? This weekend? While we're elsewhere? And a quarter of my roof is best described as a hastily arranged tent? 😐

Just hung up with ATT after way too long for such a simple task. 2+ hours for an eSim fix? And now it's tomorrow, and I have a ticket instead of my wife having a working phone? Oh look, they sent me an e-mail survey...

This morning, as one (of the several) contractor keeps pushing his ETA back, I cannot help but think of my wife. We like to say she's a 'legal drug dealer'. Frequently she gets to point out that if she did her job as poorly as some others, people would die. /me is running out of patience […]

So it's the 18th & per the conversation I just had, the folks in the Leatherman warranty department are "processing in items that arrived on the third". So while UPS says my package was delivered ten days ago, they can't even confirm they have the tool, let alone if it'll be fixed, because it's […]

Long planned and largely paid for trip coming up. It's going to look very weird from the outside when I "go abroad" with my wife shortly after #TreeGate2026, but frak that.

Peter @phpete.mastodon.coffee.ap.brid.gy · 17/09/2026

Ok. There definitely a...range...to pick from when it comes to the potential contractors, and the structural engineer hasn't even been out yet. But the laptops passed their testing once they dried out, so assuming no surprises they'll be back next week! Celebrating every tiny victory, even […]

First night in two full weeks I'll be going to bed without the soothing hum of a single industrial dehumidifier or air scrubbers in the house. Gee, how will I ever survive?

This week's treehouse agenda includes the delayed asbestos testing, the structural engineering report, and the beginning of figuring out how everyone gets paid. That last one isn't a *worry* it's a confusion. Insurance pays some folks directly, and reimburses for others. But if there's a master […]

Final thoughts? Even with the smoothest schedule we've had in a while, it's going to be a very rough road if it take ¼ of the game to figure out how to deal with your opponent. #WeAre not great. #PSU #CFB

Yeesh, I thought it was bad when I had a corporate account, but is #FedEx support even usable for regular folk? Current indications all point to NOPE.

Earlier this morning I dropped my HS senior off for A Thing - the senior class watches the sunrise at the school in September, and then the sunset at the end of their year. It's the eleventh. I never love this day, but an extremely tiny part of me is glad she got to have a new happy memory on […]

Back to School Night was tonight. 🤷 I think 8th grade might be better than 7th grade? I mean, yay?

I find myself wondering how the 'air scrubber' put in place my the water mitigation folks would fare against one of those diy Corsi Rosenthal boxes that were super popular a while ago. 🤷 Measuring that is NOT on my to-do list... but I'll still be wondering.

So somehow results from leathermancv[dot]shop are coming up sponsored by Google, offering hundred dollar items for $10. People understand this is a scam, right?

I've decided chatting about this is a good thing. You may wish to ignore me for a while. So far, over there holiday weekend we had productive visits from the Water Mitigation Guy, Insurance Guy, & Roof Specific Guy. Also sent out a chunk of ceiling plaster to determine the asbestos content […]

I don't know how long this'll all take to play out; I don't know if we'll be living somewhere else a while; I don't know when my 12yo will sleep through the night; I DO know these guys have all been awesome and I hope you never need them. restorationrelief.com

Having storm 2 defeat the tarp job and send water throughout the house overnight when we were just getting settled did not do wonders for my 12yo's staunch but ridiculous position that we "should move so this never happens again".
