Catching John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson in Wisconsin.
We guarantee that crazed man after crazed man will have a flood of killing power readily supplied him. We have to make that offering, out of devotion to our Moloch, our god. The gun is our Moloch. We sacrifice children to him daily.
GBR! 🏈
Tomorrow’s F1 race has some potential to be spicy.
@gregmoore ugh, sorry. It's going through our household too. I hope it's mild and swift.
Good morning.
@odd I like it!
Toying with the idea of a second micro.blog just for the acreage/farm stuff. Pondering.
@jabel Congrats on the projects! Reminds me I’ve been wanting to write up something like this too.
I’m also gearing up for my fall/winter project: overhauling the workshop. Which means patching holes in the metal roof, putting up foam board insulation, patching holes in the metal siding, etc. My main goal is to make the space more comfortable for work and better storage for things that shouldn’t get too hot or cold (and seal it up from critters).
Six hours of work later: pickled roasted peppers, sweet and sour pepper relish, and candied jalapeños. Tomorrow, we make habanero jelly.
@dwalbert We make a version that doesn’t include frying them. We instead wrap them in a crepe, then arrange in a baking dish, top with ranchero/salsa and cheese, and pop it in the oven for 40 minutes. Turns out great!
@wcaleb I’ve gone through a lot of vinyl gloves!
It’s days like this, when the heat index is in the low 100s, that I wonder why public school buses don’t have air conditioning.
Getting ready to can jalapeños.
@dwalbert We’re still deciding. Some might turn into a pepper jelly. Some we’ll pickle or otherwise can. Some I might cook up tonight (I love poblanos and might make rellanos).
Just a few peppers from the garden today.
@kfitz Happy birthday from a fellow Virgo!
@aa Yeah! I caught it at just the right time; only three or four minutes later, and it was already gone.
@gregmoore Thanks!
@wcaleb Thanks!
@odd It is! It's been a very nice morning, although we're suppose to get a heat wave over the next few days...
@jabel It is! Making some plans to reno the exterior, but the interior is in remarkable shape for its age. Currently just a storage space and a place for the barn cats to hang out.
Caught some great sunlight this morning. No editing done to this shot.
@aa I'm so ready for flannel season.
Crews are in the area installing fiber internet and I cannot wait to get off the line-of-sight signal I currently use.
@patrickrhone Man, I cannot wait for flannel season.
Collecting some prairie grasses to sow into our pastures.
Finished reading: Wild Idea by Dan O’Brien 📚
Trimmed the pasture to promote grass growth. Probably only the third time this summer I’ve given it a full mowing and it looks infinitely better and healthier than the weedy mess of last year.
This gal has become something of an escape artist. She’s gotten out a couple times and now looks for every opportunity to roam.
Currently reading: Standing At Armageddon: A Grassroots History of the Progressive Era by Nell Irvin Painter 📚
Lost out on that Farmall H, but I see a few more that might be worth pursuing.
Today is a great day to check your voter registration.
Charred salsa incoming.
@ablerism My kiddo is a big fan of the Nathan Hale Hazardous Tales books. He has a couple that go into the 20th century.
No one panic, but I found a Farmall H on auction that is shockingly cheap and now I’m wondering if I can arrange the logistics it would take to buy it and haul it…
I’m in the process of restoring one of my past digital history projects that I first released in 2012, and I’m pleased with Past Jason for building it as a good static site. Almost no repairs needed and the site still works great. (More updates soon).
Good evening.
Terrific week at the Digital Humanities 2024 conference hosted by us at RRCHNM. Great to catch up with old friendsiends, make new ones, and learn new things.
Writing a Python script that saves me hours of work is nice.
@ayjay Hey, happy anniversary!
@odd It did! Although I don't think the chickens were very impressed with the wind.
@patrickrhone Sorry to hear this, Patrick. We lost both of ours earlier this year, it's tough. Wishing you all comfort and fun memories.
@kfitz hear hear!
@sramsay I like my no-serious-emergencies software job.
@wcaleb lol
@wcaleb Gosh, I haven't thought about Haskell in a long time.
@gregmoore Same here. It really is spectacular.
@ayjay Watch out for that screen peaker behind you!
@wcaleb You’re a wiser man than me, you found a tool that works and stuck to it instead of bouncing around to different ones 😆
