Still hot too. It was a bit cooler yesterday and was even pleasant in the shade, with a breeze. Since the overcast held up for a lot of the day, temps didn’t climb as high. I’m hoping today is similar.
Did my doctor visits. Apparently I’m healthy. Cardiac, oncology, bloodwork, all good. Ruling out any major issues is a good thing. I’ll do my follow up colonoscopy in the next couple of months, and some allergy testing. That should answer any remaining questions. After all that, I can stride confidently into my next decade.
Did some shopping in between docs. Grabbed 130 media at the Goodwill outlet. That’s about half movies, half CDs, and some books and games. Most of the books and games will go to my auctioneer. Everything else will get ripped to the server. It was a rare day to have all that stuff I wanted.
Stopped in at the fun store to see my friends. Had a nice chat and they did a steady stream of business while I was there. They had a lot of pistols on consignment. I’ve been seeing a lot of ammo in my auctions lately, even .22LR. Times are getting tight again, methinks.
Taking D1 and her friends out for dinner rounded out the evening. Good news from the docs, and a night with family. It was a good day.
Today I’ll be trying to get a couple of pickups done. I’ve got a few other things to do too, but most of the day is open. Tonight, D2 walks across the stage at her middle school. Time FLIES.
Use that power of time to do a little, frequently. Before you know it, you’ll have world class stacks, speak another language, have a solid new skill, or have saved for your BOL. Or all of those if you are ambitious.
Stack the good things.

Glad to hear all checks out well so far, Nick. I hope the final tests put all to bed.
A good friend from college days announced he’s coming to the BOL for lunch on Saturday, so that’s nice.
As predicted, neither hunting buddy nor I crawled out of bed at 4am to bash Bambi, so that will be the project for this evening. Looks like we will have northerly winds and overcast. The wind is not optimal, but the deer move about earlier on dull evenings, so that is to our advantage.
Haircut appointment this afternoon. Looking forward to having less mane.
Lunch will be tartiflette (fried potatoes with bacon and onion, topped with a wheel of cheese and browned in a hot oven) and a green salad. I am already salivating, just thinking about frying the bacon and onions.
Bavarian radio is playing Mussorgsky’s Night on the Bare Mountain, and I am enjoying fresh fruit salad with Greek yoghurt for breakfast. A good start to the day. I wish you all a good day too!
My butcher buddy is going to process my roebuck for me. I asked him to do the backstrap rack of lamb (carré d’agneau) style, with the ribs on and the rib-ends French cleaned. I’ve not tried it with venison before, but I think it will make a very festive centrepiece for a fancy lunch.
If I had another buck, I could even do a crown roast … time to bag another!

78F and overcast today. I’m up and coffee is dripping into the pot.
@denis, that sounds like a good day, and another on tap…
My “go to” meal for restaurant experience at home, especially with guests, is grilled rack of lamb. Sauteed brusselsprouts with bacon, onion, and black truffle oil, some nice bread, and a decent red wine… not much more is needed. One of the books I picked up yesterday was “100 ways to serve venison”. I’ve got a couple of high end wild game cookbooks too. If the internet doesn’t provide a recipe for venison standing ribs, I can look at my collection.

D1 got a mac laptop for her birthday. Now I need to set up time machine, etc. I’ve got one or two in the stacks, but I didn’t have it on my list. Oh how the list grows. And my knowledge of ‘the apple way’ is very, very limited. W will be supporting the child on her device if she needs support.

Nick, if any of the venison cookbooks are on your for sale list, please let me know. I have good ones already, but it is a bit of a hobby thing with me.
Your fancy lamb dinner sounds delicious. I love Brussels sprouts with bacon and toasted spears of almond. I might try grating some truffle on those now. (I dislike truffle oil, which is synthetic flavouring). How long and hot do you roast your rack(s) of lamb? Do you intertwine two, or do them individually? Do you give them a breadcrumb and herb crust? Questions, questions….
Good call on letting W be tech support for the Apple. When W1 wanted to get into Apple stuff, I bought her one and warned her she would be on her own with it. I vowed not to have any more to do with Apple back in the days of the ][e. Alas, my work phone is an Apple, but I use it as sparingly as I can.
@denis, I trim a bit more of the fat off the middle part of the ribs, but leave all the “bacon” or part with meat running thru it. I do it just to reduce the chance of fire or smokey flare up. Then I coat all of the meat and bone with a marinade of mint jelly, garlic, salt, pepper, and enough sweet rice vinegar to make a liquid in the food processor. Cover the bare bone ends loosely with foil, and grill with the lid closed, about 20 minutes turning the rack over several times to avoid burning. We like our lamb rare to med. rare, so if I have a question, I’ll slice a rack in half to check.
Slice the “lollipops” apart and fan on the plate to serve…
The marinade/mopping sauce will crust and glaze a bit due to all the sugar, I generally put it on, let the meat sit for some length of time, and then when I put it on the grill, I pour whatever is still in the dish over the racks, and leave it alone while cooking. It’s not really a marinade, not really a mopping sauce.
The mint jelly is a cheat, as it is there for sugar and mint, (and it’s mostly apple jelly with mint flavor added). If I have fresh mint, I’ll put that in the food processor too. Adjust portions of ingredients to match your taste. salt and pepper should be rough, ie rock salt and cracked pepper.
I had some truffle oil infused with real truffle that I got as a gift, and haven’t found any to replace it. I will substitute truffle salt, or do without, but the little bit of truffle really makes the dish.
It’s like adding a dash of vietnamese fish sauce to something, it just fills out the flavor…
FWIW, I think everyone should have at least one “good” meal they can make reliably as a “fancy” dinner with friends or family. I’ve got a couple but the lamb rib rack is the best.

“SpaceX approved for next Starship launch, but the hazard area just got bigger”
https://www.chron.com/culture/article/spacex-test-flight-starship-texas-20340930.php
“SpaceX plans to reuse a previously launched Super Heavy booster rocket for the first time. So while Starship’s last test involved an aircraft hazard area of about 885 nautical miles, the one for the upcoming test will cover approximately 1,600 nautical miles. The new hazard area extends eastward from the Starbase launch site in Texas through the Straits of Florida, including the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands, where flaming debris rained down during Starship’s January test.”
“Maritime warnings suggest the next launch could happen as early as May 27. But whenever it happens, the launch window will be during non-peak transit periods to minimize disruption to U.S. and international airspace users. The specified launch window comes after officials in the United Kingdom asked U.S. agencies to consider altering the launch’s timing to minimize safety risks and economic impact for British territories, or even consider changing the launch site or trajectory of the rocket.”
A big space ship needs a big hazard area.

First introduced by state Sen. Kelly Hancock (R-North Richland Hills), the bill amends the state Transportation Code to regulate the registration and titling of a “miniature vehicle.” The House voted unanimously to pass the bill, which will become law without the Governor’s signature because it met a two-thirds vote threshold to become law in both chambers.”

Too much roof overhang and way too much mystery of “what is behind the wall” than I want to deal with. Climbing up on a roof to find the exact center of a 2×4 stud? I’ll pass.
I found a place. I need to use a piece of 2×4 or 2×6 as a mounting block to clear the roof edge of the porch. No problem, the lag bolts included with the wall mount are long enough to go through two 2x pieces of wood.

More than half the people writing about Harvard having to draw down it’s endowment have no apparent realization of what that would mean. Turning assets that are not liquid into cash would involve deep discounts, and the minute they do so a large portion of the alumni that donate will quit doing so when their contributions go from building the endowment to expenses.
Will other alumni step up and support Harvard as their finances go up in flames? Depends. Do you think that someone in the Trump administration has already done the research and built a case to remove tax deductibility from contributions to an organization breaking so many laws?

When in a folder and images are being displayed, you cannot copy the images. You must set the view to a list, not an icon. The icon is just a representation of the file and is not the actual file.
The menu bar changes to display whatever app has focus. Window app have dedicate menu a the top of the app window.
There is no true delete key. The delete key on the Mac is really a backspace and delete and deletes before the cursor. In windows the delete key deleted after the cursor and the backspace moved backwards and deleted.
Apps in the app bar can opened with one click, not two as is done in Windows.
Be careful moving items from one folder to another. Sometimes the item is moved, sometimes copied. I can never remember which.
Lastly, the web is your friend. Unfortunately, some of the image is horribly out of date because Apple changed the control menu arrangement.

I have not gotten seasick so I am more tolerant or the patches are working. Sometime I feel a little piece of confusion in my brain but it has so far not reached my stomach. We watched a show last night and there was quite a bit of rocking. Towards the end I started feeling a little woozy.
Tomorrow is Ketchikan and the report is rain all day. I will be meeting with a former co-worker for about four hours. The ship is only allowing six hours on the shore.
Friday night, Friday all day, and Saturday is entirely committed to travel on the ship. Will try a few things the cruise is offering on board.

Refreshingly the restaurant didn’t do any of the tricks all you can eat places often do. The food came VERY quickly, in whatever quantity we asked for, and was well made, well presented, and delicious. They were very quick to refill drink cups with water and soda, but that was about it.

Done is done. Anyway. He’s had some “family problems”, whatever that is, but it’s all taken care of now. Except it’s not actually. So lately I’m not getting 70 to 95 down and 60-ish up. Since February. Lately “fast” has been 15×2 and it drops a lot. My stupid phone is much slower but it works better.
So when he gets his shi(r)t back together I should have that 70 to 95 down speed back. Add that to the Starlink…. and meanwhile, an extra 5 to 15 down, shrug.

I cleaned the van yesterday. I went to Marble Falls and visited the Goodwill joint. I’ve been putting stuff in the van since December or January. Not “getting rid of his stuff”. Not at all. Just “do I want this clutter anymore? Do I want to keep it to look at anymore?”
So in piles in the dining room. Then the piles moved to the van. Because I might change my mind.
I unloaded it all at the Goodwill yesterday. There was one picture I almost kept. But no. It’s gone. I know what it looks like.
There are two cardboard boxes between the front and back row of seats. One has the plastic box my Dad’s ashes were in. The other is my Mom’s box. Seems kind of odd. Do I toss them in the trash?

“Jim Butcher in the NY Times”
https://archive.is/M6wQw
“Three decades ago, Jim Butcher put pen to paper and invented
a wildly popular fictional universe. At the time, he was
just trying to finish his homework.”
“Butcher, then a 25-year-old grad student at the University
of Oklahoma, had days earlier turned in an unfinished novel
for a writing class. The book was about a wisecracking
Chicago gumshoe named Harry Dresden, a wizard whose miserable
love life was occasionally interrupted by a grisly supernatural
murder.”
“Butcher’s professor liked what she read. She told him to
bring an outline for “the rest of it” to their next session.
“She meant the rest of the novel,” Butcher recalled in an
interview. “The next week, I rolled in with an outline for
a 20-book series.””
“It’s not all ducks & bunnies in his life though.”

I’ll going to stop right here:
Almost two years before the next election and Biden is not fit. You horses patoot. What do you think, the world is going to pinky swear not to do anything bad while we have a febrile idiot at the helm of the most powerful country in the world? We are lucky that Russia, China, North Korea and Iran–to name a few–did not take advantage like they could have.
Dean, the Democratic Party is not going to get rebuilt as long as you and the rest of the “leaders” who refused to lead refuse to resign in shame if not actually fall on your swords. Not any more than Morning Joke will ever be able to outrun the “best Biden ever” clip interleaved with “The Best of Mr. Poopy Pants”. You had the evidence, you knew what it meant, and your political calculation was that you could get away with propping him up for two years.
I wouldn’t trust you to make change for a week-old rolling doughnut, much less give you any responsibility for our country. Coaching the Democratic nosepicking team is probably beyond your safe judgement zone–although if you could persuade them all to use 3HP 20v hedgetrimmers to do so, you might get my vote for that position.
Seems kind of odd.

I’ve got a cookie tin of things my dad saved, that I don’t have any direct attachment to, just that he saved them. It tends to hang around until it ends up with someone who has no idea what or why. Then it gets dumped. Sometimes someone like me or another reseller finds it and is glad to have it. Probably not often though.

D2 walked across the stage a couple of times. She got an award for checking out the most books from the school library. And a teacher’s choice award for her theater work. The teacher’s choice awards had some funny statistics. Of the 24 teachers, most of whom were women, they gave awards to 17 females and 7 males. The characteristics most often mentioned were “cleans up”, “works collaboratively”, “helps others”, “has a great attitude/personality/social skills”.
The student body is almost exactly 50-50. Things that make you go “Hmmm”. Also, not one of the girls was fat, ugly, poorly dressed, or awkward.
