As I get older, I realize I’m not as mentally indestructible as I once was. Or maybe I’m just opening up more. Had a rough 24 hours from several things colliding. But things are better today. I expect I’ll be more susceptible as more things get thrown at me.

T minus 18 days until a trip to Japan and Taiwan. Need to brush up on my Japanese hard core now. *Panic mode on* Luckily will have @tavvytiggy.bsky.social family to do all the translating in Taiwan esp the night markets!

Doing more comp programming since retiring. Currently working on my own variable length LZW compression/decompression code in python. God, I hate debugging bit streams. Also don't trust any code online. The one I used for a baseline was buggy.

Cycled my first metric century as part of the Tour de Vineyard ride with @tavvytiggy.bsky.social @vayrwolf.bsky.social , @hifihusky.bsky.social @bunnyontap.bsky.social & @thedizziest.dizzignerclub.com. It was quite the adventure of mishaps but we got through it!

Went down a rabbit hole when trying to figure out a higher voltage plug for an EV charger. This appeals to my OCD.

Got an honorable mention (basically tied for 3rd) out of 7 at the brewery salsa challenge. Winners were more traditional style (pepper and lime) but a few judges thought mine was the best. So that's a win. I'm happy :)

Got convinced to partake in a salsa making contest at a local brewery. But my tastes for spicy foods obviously drift toward Asian than Latin style. But I haven't seen many Asian salsas around. I don't know if going more umami than citrusy can win a competition or is it too weird.

Today, I learned that many satellites have heaters & coolers so various components work optimally. I always thought satellite parts were designed for "space" temperature. #YouEarnesOneBeer

I’ve been up since 6:30am. Already biked 30 miles this AM. Alradh had dinner. I think I should be allowed to watch YouTube with plushies in bed at 7 pm. Thank you.

Infinitely, but not because I moved… I met people, made friends, kept close, tried new things, went on adventures, made mistakes, lived authentically, worked my ass off to move up in my career, was honest, made active changes in area where I was lacking. THAT is why it got better. (Also 🍺 helps)

I accidentally created a 2nd Costco account when I thought I was paying a renewal. My old account kept on auto-renewing too. Luckily, they refunded the annual fee to the 2nd one since I never used it. They said this happens more often than you'd think. So always check those autopay membership fees.

Couldn't run a WinXP program on a M2 Mac Mini for retro-computing. So had to do some inception: Control Intel Macbook Pro from M2 Mac Mini. Run WinXP VM in Virtualbox on Intel Macbook Pro. Run Apple II disc image manager in WinXP. Access DOS 3.3 files using Apple II disc image manager. #graymuzzle

Yes, it's 2026, but you can still get COVID-19. Luckily, it's a mild case. I also know where I got it. I was sitting for like an hour in the Juneau airport gate area behind a guy who was coughing hard. I should've moved, but didn't. Fucking people don't consider masking up or isolating in public.

Having great trip in Alaska. But apparently, asking a local in Anchorage "Could you move over one seat?" At a bar is considered impolite. It sounded like a command to him. I aparently needed to add "please" to the end of it :( But the rest of the locals have been awesome.

Fnally got to see the glaciers upclose. Having done many travel adventures, glacier paddleboarding is def one of the best. After flying over the top of the glacier, you end up in this serene blue wonderland full of clear fresh water and ice. It's amazing.

After seeing glaciers from the air, we then saw Northwestern Glacier in Kenai Fjords NP from the water. Went kayaking among the icebergs and harbor seals and got up to 1/2 mile from the face (legal limit). Next will be helicoptering to the top of one!

Got to see Denali "up close" today. At ft tall, it easily dwarfs the 14ers out in Colorado. Also lucked out on weather as today is the first time in a month that the flight tours could go out because of heavy rain.

Having been a "man of leisure" officially for the past 6 months, I def experienced things that were expected but also dealt with some surprises. It def hasn't been "vacation" mode 24 hrs/day. But i now have in a daily routine & hope to travel some in the rest of 2026. It's been eye-opening.

Been seeing these social media memes about Europeans visiting the US for the World Cup not realizing ranch dressing existed and then loving it after trying it. To all the Euro furs, is ranch dressing not known or appreciated in your home country?

They're starting to remove this embarassment off a living memorial to JFK. Good riddance. One Dem platform should be to rename/rebuild everything that he renamed or built to what it was originally, Erase his legaacy as much as possible & don't feed his vanity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAhm...

I hate being at car dealers. Spent two hours buying out my leased car. Took 30 min to get all my personal and car info. Took another hour to see the finance guy & try to be sold extras. Then 30 min to deal with their computer problem & get the cashier check. This should not be so painful.

Learned from an old radio spot today that "ounce" was an original name for the snow leopard. Sneps were mistaken for a Eurasian lynx. So people used the Old French word "once" with la, or l"once, or lynx. Later the l' was dropped to make "once" and later "ounce" in English. #YouEarnedOneBeer
