Can you imagine, if I stopped and had a #coffee after every log I split?

I can.

My dog’s fetching abilities have truly gone next level.

Great news good people of the planet Earth. The #plastic industry has saved us! 🦧

@Gina I really truly appreciate what you’re doing.

And if, sometime soon, in a fit of rage, you grab the nearest fire-axe, and embed it handle-deep in the last remaining Fosstodon server, I will still support you.

I figured I should probably tell you now 😜 Have a good weekend!

@kev @mike no matter what the future holds, I cannot thank you enough for all of your time and effort.

#Fosstodon has been my reading chair on a rainy day, when all the outside world swirls in chaos. It has been my Wind in the Willows.

I will be here until the lights go out, then I will sit and think, and try to understand what comes next.

Thank you my friends. Thank you.

It’s time to broach a topic that the average homeowner tends to ignore until it is too late to change course. Self steering.

That is why I added an Aries wind vane system to the side of my house. This probably just doubled the home’s resale value if you think about it 😳 #sailing #sailboat

So it’s 97F right now in Austin Tx. I’m in town to hopefully help plan some #Antarctic field science this winter. I’m sitting outside sweating my ass off eating dinner, and the hotel is lighting up a bunch of #naturalGas fires for ambiance. We are so utterly doomed as a species. We deserve what we get. My poor children. #climatechange

Swamp Turtle showed promise roaming the pond and breaking up the algae, but there were numerous issues, as expected. I’m taking it apart to build version-2.

In my experience it is always better to go #UglyEarly in a design-analysis cycle (not in bars). #Fail is the learning elixir designers seek.

So here we go….#robot #arduino

Swamp Turtle vs Filamentous Algae! Who shall win? Probably the Algae.

It’s a very simple #robot with just an #arduino, H-bridge, solar panel and two motors. Construction and software took about 2 hours.

I’m hoping it chops up the algae a bit so the fish can see what the Sun looks like ;)

Just getting going in #astrophotography. Took this Tuesday night with an 8” SCT. 20 subs 30s each. The Orion Nebula is barely above the trees where I live. Hey. It ain’t great but it’s a start 🦧

I like robots and coffee, but not in that order #introductions
