Fairfax Scoop Blueberry and Mocha (Chocolate) Chip (Not Shown, Vanilla Honey Lavender and Lemon Almond)

Ready Player One (2018). What a steaming pile of shit. There's so many things wrong with this movie I could fill a book with them. The worst offender is what they do to The Shining.

Don't know. More importantly, who won Megavalanche today? ?

Nova’s Building Chernobyl’s Megatomb on Netflix.

Bought some steaks the other day. NY Strip and Ribeye. Cooked one of each tonight the Serious Eats way (cool side of grill covered, finish on hot.) Not bad. May try sous-vide with a grill finish for the others.

Richard Ashcroft "keys to the world"

La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman – follow-up prequel to the Golden Compass trilogy (His Dark Materials) in the new trilogy, The Book of Dust One of the best novels I've read in the last few years – can't wait for the next book to come out. The 2nd book in the trilogy, The Secret Commonwealth, is due this October:

I thought that was what I was doing. ?

Decided to ask my local metal engineer if he’d do stainless steel handles to my liking for my two safety razors and the Gillette fusion, which he did. So because I enjoy posting photos, here’s how they look. ? Although both safety razors look alike, one handle is thicker than the other and the head on one is higher for a closer shave.

jajaja I'm trying to take you to the dark side

An 80's Cover Band (Tainted Love) on the lawn at Rancho Nicasio. Joanne and I got to exercise our musical knowledge / relive our youths by engaging in "name that tune" to see if we could identify the song from the intro, before the vocals came in. Did pretty well apart from some American ones that weren't hits in the UK. Interesting what lodges in you brain from 30-40 years ago (!!!) to surface with the right stimulus.

Chicken with a light garlic aioli and garlic pepper Tabasco dipping sauce.

Got out of jail. 6 months of bullshit over with.

Not at the moment. I’m mostly just trying to get to local repeaters and maybe the space station.

decided to up my nerd cred, so I got my technicians license for amateur radio today. 2 tests to go.

More being grilled for, but I'll take it

Did some shopping at the unfortunately named “Hard-Off” store and stumbled across a bit of a treasure trove about 45 minutes outside of Tokyo.

This is something else, but from around the same time. It's a long story, and a stupid one. It was just three days. Today, I walked out to my car and discovered this. Of course the parking lot camera doesn't work. If you look at the dent on the door, you can see where the person got out and tried to "rub the dent out." Idiot. I have rental coverage up to $50 a day, so I chose "luxury." I hope it's something decent.

This will fuel your nightmares ...because of how well it works.

I’ll place this under “another.” Bye Slug Bug.
