The office has been watching the Big Bear eagle nest cam on the open space TV since before the chicks hatched. The juveniles are now about to fledge. Whenever one of them tests their wings, the whole office pauses to see if this the time that one leaves the nest. 🦅

I finally found the cable to my Garmin Instinct watch. It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten how to operate the darned thing. I hope the battery isn’t toast by sitting uncharged for so long…

I had an English Literature teacher my senior year of high school named King Wisdom (no joke!) who’s class you could pass by bringing him Rolos (also, no joke). Personally, I did not bring him Rolos, but I do think of what a character he was whenever I partake of them myself.

Thankfully, we’ve recovered from my hasty settings change day before yesterday.

Every now and then I forget my own rule to the rest of the team: Test in a sandbox, test it again as a user, then test once more as a different user before promoting it.

I caused myself way too much stress with this one…

While trying to catch up some lost time from the day, I thought I could enable a seemingly innocuous environment setting without testing it properly in a sandbox first.

What do you think happened?

You’re right! Shit broke and I can’t roll it back.

Yay me!

Waiting for Sequoia updates to complete on the Intel work laptop. 2 hours and counting so far…

If it were Apple silicon, I’d be back working already. 😑

My wife and I had a fantastic lazy weekend in Palm Springs with no agendas or timelines other than laying by the pool and dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Our time is over now and it’s back to the real world…

Let this be a lesson, kids… Always double check the QA work of someone else. RV backup camera was NOT tested properly and still needs to be worked on. No pickup for Breezie happening today… 🤬

We get our RV back from the shop today. 🎉 It only took four weeks to get fixed–which is actually pretty good. Thankfully, the service contract we purchased covers the cost of it all. After I bring it home, we’re headed to Palm Springs for a mini-vacation weekend. ☀️😎🍹

I had the strangest dream… @manton showed up at my house with his pet kangaroo because a post I published somehow broke Micro.blog. After debugging and fixing it together, we watched family videos of my kids from 30 years ago, watched the sun set, and then he took pictures to remember the visit.

I had the best health insurance experience yesterday! While scheduling some costly tests, three incredibly friendly representatives went above and beyond to assist me. I barely had to lift a finger. This was not the American healthcare system I’m used to!
