I got some hanging baskets of portulaca for the front porch yesterday. Today, all the blooms have opened, and I just had a hummingbird feeding on them... Less than 3 feet from my face! I e never seen one that close, it was awesome.

I spent the last week cutting down/apart a tree that broke in half due to wind last week.
Hope it didn’t hit anything or anything important if it did. We’ve had quite a bit of systems come through here also..
Storm came through about 2:30-3:00am and was very active in lightning…
luckily not. the top half of the tree broke, but not completely - fell over slightly into the street. The break was about 20 feet up - made cutting it down a bit challenging - luckily my latter was talk enough.
haul away, etc was so expensive - it was worth it to buy a slightly used chipper shredder and just deal with it myself. I now have a small pile of logs to give away as firewood.
I need to rent a chipper to deal with my ever-growing pile of limbs and other small debris. Home depot rents them here for $100/day. Now I just need some motivation to do it in the heat...
Here you just use a rake and a match, problem solved.
That is very seasonal here. Burn season starts in October or so.

Just chowed down on some homemade beef stroganoff. I subbed in lower fat Greek yogurt for sour cream, I think it was actually better than usual.

About to go to Managua with the kids for a day out and about just for fun.

Our drummer FINALLY got back from nearly 6 weeks of jaunting around Europe, so I've got rehearsal in a couple of hours! I wonder if I can still play the guitar....

I just got a package in the mail containing a whole bunch of dried chile peppers. One of my cousins ordered way too many I guess, so he sent the extra to me.
I now have:
Ancho
Pasilla
Guajillo
Mulato
Arbol
...and dried chipotles. The only other dried ones I ever had were homegrown and home made by me. All of them are beautiful, they were clearly grown and dried with care. I can get most of these locally, but they're all busted up. Now I'm set for chili season. -

Another 12 hour recording session on Saturday, but the tracking is DONE. Now we wait on the 1st mixdown...
When can we check it out?
Soon! We have signed off on the final mixdowns and the tracks are arranged properly for a 12" LP release! Now we're just waiting for the mastering to be done. Then we should have at least 1 song to release ahead of the full album. Until then, here's us playing live a couple of months ago:

Just got back from the grocery store... time to start marinating some lamb chunks for kebabs!
We have a small middle Eastern presence in our town. Lamb over rice and lamb on the rod are very popular dinner choices in at least a dozen spots.
Where we live is lacking a bit when it comes to middle eastern cuisine. Here it's mostly SE Asian folks, so if you want 24-hour Korean BBQ, there are so many choices. Same with sushi, poke bowls, pho, hot pot, dim sum, noodles, bakeries, boba tea, etc. I don't hate it.

Quality saxophone time with major and minor scales = done. On to home Ansible stuff.
I haven't played mine in such a long time, I'd probably sound like a cat stuck in a blender, a dying duck, or some combination thereof.
My tone is acceptable, but trying to regain some technique.
Practice, practice, practice!!! I feel like such a slacker... We had been doing 2x rehearsals a week before going into the studio. Knocked that out just in time for our drummer to head off to Europe for 5 weeks. I've barely touched my guitar in weeks
But I'm redoing my pedalboard... into 2 pedalboards!@EddieJennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@Dashrender that is nuts. Let us know how the testing goes, I don't want to get bitten by this nonsense.

I just went full-tilt slash and burn on some old DNS records. Did it manually because 85% of that subnet is about to be repopulated with new systems. Felt really good to watch the list shrink to 8 or 9 entries.

RE: What Are You Doing Right Now
I've got a TON of new hardware to roll out... 10g switches, new PDUs, firewalls, servers, and storage (like 120TB usable space!). And I have to physically move all our current production to one of the new racks. And later tonight I'm going back into the studio to double up my guitar tracks and nail all the solos.

RE: What Are You Doing Right Now
The gear is packed, and we are about to head out to the recording studio!!!! We've blocked out the whole weekend, but we are well prepared. Stay tuned for the highly anticipated release date!
