It’s rather apparent rain has been lacking for over a month. Still a nice view though.

An Old Fashioned snowman 🍹 😉

Questionable decision? I just noticed that when I decorated I put this snowman right next to my Hakko soldering iron… ⛄️ 🤷🏽‍♂️

Success! After yesterday’s abject failure we succeeded in making dinner rolls from scratch today. Our first ever bread-type effort. They were a big hit - the rack was full a few minutes ago! We’re looking forward to more and invested in a stand mixer afterwards. 🍞

A hazy sun but pretty sky this morning.

I’ve never finished shopping for my wife’s Christmas gifts this early to say nothing of getting them all wrapped. I do enjoy my santa role.🎄🤶

My Series 7 Apple Watch was delivered yesterday. I was tired from decorating so decided to wait until this morning to set it up. The main thing I wanted was an always on display. I already love having this - no more flicking my hand to see something! ⌚️

Christmas decor is done. Phew! Now we have a month to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Christmas 🎄

First (fireplace) s’more of the season

We played Bargain Quest for the first time today. It has a little different scheme than other games we’ve played and we enjoyed it. We’ve plan another session for tomorrow.

Blue skies, nothing but blue skies do I see 🎶

American Airlines canceled over a thousand flights the past few days so we were worried. But my wife made it home today just in time for halloween. 🎃

If my wife’s hamster was red she’d be a lot easier to see. Like most, she spends most of her time hiding.

☀️ The sun in in solar cycle 25 and has been much more active. Yesterday’s spikes in x-ray and proton flux caused some radio blackouts. This weekend the geomagnetic flux will spike to G3 so there are alerts for power grids and navigation. Nothing to fear. Facts are here.

Underneath it all is a lovely blossom waiting to appear

The sunset last night seen while driving home for dinner was 👍🏼👍🏼

After last night’s rain storm there is no pattern in these fallen leaves, just chaos.

Speaking of chaos, iOS 15 identified these as plant material ✅but thinks they’re magnolia leaves❌.

I achieve a sort of bliss blasting 🎶 in my Pleiades (aka Subaru)

Almost gravity-defying

The HF radio is good for long range communications but I use these VHF/UHF radios for more local connections.
