Yesterday, finished up the roof brackets. Today, solar panels go up! (I'm still not in love with the color I picked for the roof, but I think we'll be seeing more light-colored roofs going forward. Attic got plenty warm with red shingles.)

Pinehurst Station is going forwards again. Only one section of concrete left. There is a weird divide; south is concrete - north is asphalt. #pinehurst #lightrail
Looking northbound up 5th. A new section of street is coned off.looking south. the corner of 5th and 13_, 30' of northbound, still needs to be poured.Looking north, everything is asphalt.looking north, from the sidewalk. 

at the top of the hill, the road surface switches from concrete to asphalt.

Went down to look at the Pinehurst Station. The station is looking good, the road in front is, if anything, going backwards. The southbound lane looked complete on July 20th. It no longer does. Northbound seemed almost done then. Now
View of 5th NE. Foreground is finished concrete, but ends not far past 130th.View of 5th NE. Southbound is now asphalt, unfinished, and northbound is all construction

Broken Lizard (Super Troopers, etc..) is doing an AMA, and answered my question right meow.
How often do people meow at you? When was the last time? 

 It's a lot for me for sure. Anytime we're in a crowd I hear it. We were at WWE Summerslam last weekend and heard it there. People scream all sorts of things, mostly at Farva. It's a chorus of meows. I was getting on a plane a year ago and the gate agent was doing the meow game during boarding announcements. I thought it was cool that he saw me and gave me that little tip of the hat. But then I walk up to board and he recognizes me and freaks out, "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE HERE!!". Apparently he does the meow game all the time haha. He says it drives people crazy,

-Paul 

 You know it's actually a big trend in commercial aviation right now. My buddy flies jumbo jets out of Chicago and he says that the amount of times you hear the radio guys in the towers doing the meow game is astonishing. It drives the old people crazy, they don't know what the hell it is. You have these really angry older aviation guys yelling on the radio about it.

When instagram scammers don't understand your account.
Message from someone on instagram referencing one of my vintage cat photos. The message says "Hi Molly. We love your cat! We’d like to gift you our Tencel Sheet Set — it’s hypoallergenic and pet-friendly bedding — in exchange for 2 images and a story post featuring her lying on the bed.

If you’re interested, please share your shipping details and choose a color. We also have a mattress protector available if you’d like to include that too.

Best,
Rhea 
Olive+Crate"

My response is "That cat has been dead for approximately 70 years."

Pinehurst Update

Construction on Pinehurst is getting close to wrapping up with the platform side getting the elevator and escalators finalized and completed. Work crews have been moving a lot of equipment off the platform and the final tiles and ADA walk finding styles are installed. The station screens are lit up as well but just a generic windows background for now.

We have been given notice we will start doing simulated station stops soon, not opening the doors. Once construction is done, the speed coming into the station will increase slightly. Testing should begin when the LRV's are updated to include Pinehurst. The stop will add about 1 minute to the commute. (Slowing, stopping, 20 second dwell, acceleration)

No official date but I would assume it'll occur during the August shakeup.

Nick Cave on Russell Brand.
How to Become a Christian in 7 Days details Brand’s personal conversion story, using a seven-step program inspired by Alcoholic Anonymous to chronicle his religious journey.

In a scathing three-word review of the book, Australian musician Nick Cave wrote: “Good for atheism.”
