Yesterday took us from Elk City, Oklahoma, to Jackson, Tennessee.

We traveled approximately 660 miles in about 10 hours. 🚙

Today we get back to Charlottesville, Virginia. Home. 🏡

Mo hotter

It hot

Well this is quite a different, creative version of Stand By Me! This song is (just barely) older than me and while I’ve heard many performances of it I think this is one of my favorites.

We saw Spider-Man this afternoon. An excellent #movie, will happily see it again when it streams.

We start our journey back home today.

Today’s leg takes us from Avila Beach, California to Gallup, New Mexico.

Looks like 811 miles with an estimated time of around 12 hours. 🚙

It will, of course, take longer. 😃

We cut outta here tomorrow! Just in time! 🤣

🤞🏼my latest build of Stream for Mac makes it through review.

I decided to work on Stream this morning and fix a few things that bugged me.

Did a new TestFlight build and... I can't distribute it because App Store Connect is in some weird state. 🤣

Wild!

I hope this works!

Just me or is App Store Connect down?

Les Claypool + Henry Rollins, a great combination.

Very happy today in #Faro! We picked up Viv’s residency card this morning—we got mine last week—and went straight to the health center to get our SNS numbers. Now we’re both long term legal residents of Portugal 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

Maybe Trump will be joining them soon and why does Jesus look like Jared Leto? 😳

This is sad on many levels. 😞
