This group of wild roses has formed their own little community, one of several on this prolific bush. 🌹
Tranquility on my exercise trail
Yesterday we got our first sashimi knife. It shipped from Japan and only took 3 days to arrive which amazed us. Conveniently for the MB challenge it came in a maroon box. 🔪
Refreshing our potted plants on the back patio is a must every spring
A honeysuckle bloom may not look like much but the way the fragrance permeates a wide area around it marks them as magical.
We have a bunch along the exercise trail - they’re like dessert for the olfactory senses.
Developer double speak: could not be saved but we saved them.
From Halide. It crashes a lot these days
My wife used a union of different yarns in her recent knitting project. It turned out great.
Also Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours.
Our daughter adopted a new hamster today. It is a Syrian and much larger than our others. His name is Yeti and he was in foster care over 6 months. We have a big enough cage but we need larger items to put in it. The gals have gone shopping 🛍.
Learning to park is our daughter’s stumbling block to getting her license.

Some of you will be amused by this…
My Raspberry Pi display with a representation of earth overlayed by the locations of a few key satellites. Solar weather related data is across the top. The info is useful in understanding current radio propagation as well as for making contact with satellites. 🌍
Roses are red
Violets are blue
My branches are thorny
And so are you 😉
A toolbox full of components used in my experimental projects. This is not my only such toolbox. 😃
It has been a long time since I took a photo with this
I installed this automatic light switch when our youngest was too short to turn on the bathroom light. The kids are teens now but when it recently broke everyone complained until I replaced it. First world problems…
Watching YouTube vids on the back patio. Life seems good. 👍🏻
We went to a temple site for Songkran today. Mostly to shop for some hard-to-get Thai and Lao foods and plants. This was the first one since Covid started. We didn’t find it nearly as good as in the past and prices were $$$.
After last night’s rain storm this tree decided to bend over and see if it could touch the ground
All the Frees
Our daughter’s high protein (and high priced) cereal.
Well, a nearly unblemished sky… ✈️
I had nominal success with my previous build of a short “bookshelf” for eqiupment in my study so I built another using red oak instead of poplar to better match the other furniture. I also made it a bit taller since I now have a tool to enable longer cuts. Wood cost about $85.
In spite of the ongoing war, this morning crude oil prices are down to pre-invasion levels and below $100. Now to see this ripple through to gas prices soon-ish.
Today I made what amounts to a small bookshelf. It is dimensioned to fit a special spot in my study and will hold equipment rather than books. I’ve never built something like this but I’m happy with how it turned out considering I only had a circular saw for the cuts.
Chilling in our room before dinner. Childless for the night 😉
