I got to thinking how many times we’ve seen The New Standards after we saw them last night. I searched my blog and created a list of The New Standards shows. I was surprised to find 21 shows and an additional 11 Holiday Shows — exceeding our list of Brandi Carlile shows!

The New Standards put on an incredible show at The Dakota tonight marking their 20 year anniversary as a band! We had a great night returning with our friends Mike & Ellen Rock for the show.

@jack your post made me smile and reminded me how it has never worked out for me to have multiple blogs.

We visited the Minnesota State Fair three times this year, a record for all of us. Are we becoming “fair people”? Maybe. People complain about the crowds, but that is just part of it. The sea of people every way you look is what makes it the fair. We’ll be back again next year! 🎡

Seeing the “Butterheads” in the Dairy Building at the State Fair is a must for me. As a bonus for going on the last day, I got to see all of them finished!

We made three trips to the Minnesota State Fair this year and the third visit really happened just because of Peachey’s Donuts. We wanted to go back and try them fresh. The line was crazy long and it indeed took an hour, but these warm and tasty donuts are incredible.

My Grandpa Ardell was a “John Deere man”, so whenever I see these green tractors at the Minnesota State Fair I take a moment to look them over. I’m pretty sure he had one very similar to this one.

@cyberbobcity Since you have web developer and design chops make sure you checkout the microhooks that @mtt has created for Tiny Theme.

@cyberbobcity welcome (back) to micro.blog! I’m a fan and have been for a while. I also have a mostly accurate list of plugins I use. Micro.blog continues to be the most friction-free method to go from thought in head 💭 to a blog post ✍️.

@cyberbobcity Meg is amazing and I think it helps that she personally uses OmniFocus as well. Just this morning I wrote about my GTD structure that touches on exactly what you are setting up. Thought you may find it interesting.

@jthingelstad
@cdevroe wow, this really piqued my interest. There is a good overview of it on Jacobsen Architecture and an article from 2022. Mirrored structures are interesting.

The Singing Sakatah Hills State Trail is closed right by Highway 60 and Dalton Ave near Cannon Lake. They have a section fenced off where the trail edge has collapsed. The record rains must have been too much for this area. Couple of trees down too.

@pratik I need a similar thing for the Things 4 Good site.

@dynamitemoth sorry to hear that and hope the rest does it well. The extensive effort of the hike may have irritated and made it worse? I had a torn meniscus after I did a big bicycle effort decades ago and it was for sure caused by the heavy ramp in activity. Thankfully it healed with rest, no surgery.

@jthingelstad
@bjhess totally fair. I’ve used classifieds there to reach new readers for my newsletter but that is a hobby project with no means of calculating an ROI so I just base it on “does it feel right”. :-)

@kitt I used to use that approach as well but have switched things to Fastmail’s masking feature for a couple of wins:
Fastmail does all this on my custom domain.

I currently have 326 different Masked Email addresses set in Fastmail. It takes effort but is a powerful way to limit tracking and increase security. 🔒🥸

First challenge for my lake camera was getting it off the ground to keep the raccoons from playing with it.
Second was protecting the cable from water and making sure that the cords were waterproof.
Now the third issue is keeping the lawn guys from shredding the USB cable with the weed whipper. 😬

Eerie sky as this storm came in. There was a literal calm before the storm and then the wind kicked up big time. 70 mph winds. We’ve all gone to the basement.

@jthingelstad
Serious storm system coming through clearing out this incredible heat and humidity that we’ve had the last two days. There is a lot of energy in the sky. Hoping the 1" hail doesn’t come to pass. Just got very dark.

Wish the United would have won but we had a fun time (after the shade arrived) with my Mom and Kurt watching them play the Seattle Sounders to a 3-2 loss. ⚽️
