Good morning my beautiful friends.
Green Chile Tamale with an egg.
Breakfast of Champions! 😁☕
FYI - I just heard this on the Progress channel on Sirius XM - they (Joe Sudbay substitute hosting on one of the shows, as he often does) interviewed a guy that just built a new AI based website that he trained an LLM AI by sucking in all the 900+ pages of the project 2025 info and other legal info to produce Project2025wtf.com
Why do airports insist on having arms on all their benches. Are you really trying to keep you from sleeping in the middle of the night on a 4 hr layover? It's not like we're the homeless off the street. We have tickets and baggage and came through security. /sigh #travel
Morning all. Yesterday afternoon I got a shovel and cleaned the gutter because it was just a mosquito infested swamp in front of my house. And two doors down.
I put it out on the edge of the road.
This morning, city crew here to pick it up and weedwack some nearby stuff.
I had talked with my neighbor the lawyer and said if he knew people at the city to give them a call to have them come clean it up. I think he did.
I was in the hammock facing the sunny western view, when all of a sudden this rainstorm snuck up from behind me. I love a good rainstorm!
Good friday morning all! ☕🌞
Coffee time is finished. Off to wire in power and comms to my new mini-split outside unit. Inside is hung and ready. I'll connect tubing, then have to find an HVAC guy or buy/rent a vacuum pump and gauges to evacuate the lines before I can start it up. I've got calls in to two HVAC people, but no response. Have another to contact, but after that I just go by the gear and do it myself -- that's how I've learned to do everything. ❄️❄️❄️
Goodnight moon.
Half a century ago, and more, I spent many weekends at this spot on the Elkhorn river in Nebraska.
Earlier today I drove by my childhood suburban Omaha house, my elementary school, and my junior high and I found the mulberry tree many of my friends and I spent hours in after grade school, eating ripe mulberries and getting purple fingers - waiting to be written in to a Shel Silverstein story.
Any idea why I get this Invalid SSL certificate a lot lately using the app (android, pixel 6a)?
Not critical, it seems to have no effect on my use of the site. I run NordVPN most of the time, have to pause it to log in sometimes. Still, it's not a problem for me, just curious.
On the road. Away we go. I left about 6:00 trying to leave about 2:00. I'll drive till about midnight or 1 :00 and then nap then into Iowa and across to the Illinois border where I will spend the next few weeks or a couple of months.
Good Morning fellow CoSovians!

We've been having daily strong p.m. rains, but yesterday dropped over 2" in an hour or two.
