Discovered large #milkweedbugs are a thing today. Also, we have a giant nest of #EuropeanHornets in our tree 😬🙅‍♂️ #garden #gardening #landman #landmanning

RE: toot.community/@VTDARKSIM/116924364… 1 day in and I’ve already set #mealie up on my #HomeServer, and added 21 recipes I had floating around in files or bookmarks. This is pretty damn cool.

A recipe list displayed on a mobile app, featuring various dishes such as Black Bean Feta Dip, Cauliflower Pizza, Easy Chicken Stir Fry, and more. Each item includes metrics like likes and estimated preparation times. The interface shows a search bar T the top.

A large bowl contains a colorful mixture of black beans, corn, green onions, and crumbled feta cheese. The dish is labeled as "Black Bean Feta Dip" with ingredients listed for preparation.

It took about 2 days for my body to respond, but the stress of the #RIF notifications suddenly exerted its influence on my #bloodglucose. #T1D #Type1Diabetes #Diabetes #DiabeticProblems

The image shows a continuous glucose monitoring chart displaying blood glucose levels over a 12-hour period. The current glucose level is 163 mg/dL, up by 5 mg/dL. It reaches almost 400 mg/dL at one point.

If you received a text message like this from an unfamiliar number, claiming to be your CEO to whom you’ve never spoken, you would think this is a #phishing attempt, no?

It coincided with a day of mild day drinking while running errands, followed by another day of mild day drinking while doing yard work.

Slapped a rubber grommet in there, tightened a bit, and voila! We’ve got a makeshift (non-leaking) recycled birdbath! #garden #gardening #landman #birdbath #diy #reduce #reuse #recycle #ReduceReuseRecycle

So it is leaking water… might be because I didn’t use a watertight washer, might be because of the cracks in the glass…

I have a bunch of #reclaimedwood after tearing down the treehouse last week. I’ve power washed it & am staining it now. Not entirely sure what to do with it though… Maybe build a small platform for the composter & some deck chairs next to our pollinator […] [Original post on toot.community]

Area #1: always in the sun, would probably be unusable for lounging in the summer sun, but would be a good spot for an “overlook” into the pollinator garden next to the veggie garden.

Area #2: probably 15 ft between the tree and fence, always shaded so we can’t grow veggies here. Would be cooler to hang out on in the summer. Maybe with some posts and a hammock? 🤔

Finished building the wooden raised bed (I ran out of usable reclaimed wood) and moved all the soil I could find a place for. Still need to weed 1/2 the garden, buy our plants and get them into the ground, and start working on erecting a bat house! #garden #gardening #landman

7 & 8 carts into the job. I’ve got 1 of the big beds more or less done, which is ~1/4 of the total raised bed volume. Woof. #garden #gardening

Ordered 8 cubic yards of garden soil that I need to haul from the church parking lot to my backyard because apparently I hate myself. #garden #gardening

Flashback to 9 years ago when I reached out to a company to ask for install guidance for one of their flow meters, and got this unexpected response from their CEO. People be crazy. mtw.us.com

Still can’t post to my pixelfed.social account from my #IceCubes app. The login process passes the auth, but then just returns to the login page. Account works fine in the #Pixelfed app, and there aren’t any pending IceCubes updates, so… 🤷‍♂️
