Jenn and I are about to head out to the Oregon coast on a trailer camping trip, using a rented trailer, as a short COVID-safe vacation. Our first time doing this! Should be an interesting experiment.

Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself.

Last night we cleared out a bunch of old game and TV detritus while moving our gear into a new shelving unit, so of course Paladin had to sit on it like Smaug the dragon on a pile of gold. 🐈🐉🎮

I don’t need the power of Photoshop or similar apps when creating or editing graphics. I have used Acorn since the first version as my go-to graphics app; it has a lot of powerful features, without being overly complex.

On the homestead blog: yesterday we did our first inspection of our beehives of the year, now that it’s warming up enough to open the hives. 🐝

"Hi Bob." Last night’s bobcat also went by the cat house. More in Caturday tomorrow. 🐈

For week 12 of my 52 years celebration, another photo from the 1970s, of me, my brother Neville, and our mother having fun on a backyard water slide. (I have very few pictures of myself as a tween/teenager, so I’m using these older pics.) #ThrowbackThursday #52years

The answer to today’s #WhatsItWednesday question: it’s a Mac OS X 10.1 installer CD-ROM, to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the general release of Mac OS X 10.0 (while I used 10.0, unfortunately I don’t have an installer disc for it). 💿

Let’s play What’s It Wednesday again. What do you think this is? Be specific. Hint: celebrating an anniversary, though not quite the right one for it. #WhatsItWednesday

An interesting tree next to our pond.
