Our soil isn’t the best, this one is on a light deprived hill and it was mature by the time we got here 26 years ago. I think yours will be straight, beautiful and just fine

I’m going to miss that beautiful backdrop though for coffee on the porch when she finally snaps. At least her kids are in good shape and will outlive me.

Time for a new lid.

My beloved Arai XD-4 finally timed out and is no longer in production so I needed a new ADV helmet.

After a LOT of helmet research (and a couple "try on" trips to my local Most Excellent Motorcycle Gear Shop), I pulled the trigger. It's a special order but should be here next week.

Airoh Commander 2 Mavick in Red Gloss.

Not your average brain bucket. Nice.

Finally got this in - it had to make a flight out of Bahrain that for some incomprehensible reason kept getting delayed. I was starting to get a little nervous it would ever arrive. And it took 4 size-trials to find the right one; kudos to Northstar Motorsports for being willing to ship/return til I found the right size (no place local that stocks Bell).

Ubiquity cloud gateway.
This is way nicer than a consumer router. Having PoE, no extra power supply for the AP.

Supervisor approved.

Ah, the Ubiquiti rabbit hole. I think I'm up to 50 Ubiquiti (or Unifi) devices, between cameras, APs, switches, gateways, an NVR, etc.

The latest obsession has clearly been pocket knives, I find the Laguiole's to be beautiful and have an older one coming from a gentleman in Ukraine (second picture).

Beautiful knives! We use Laguiole flatware for everyday, but the steak knives are my favorite, sharp and well balanced. The “bee” (or fly ) is a really great touch on Laguiole cutlery.
