I've seen this a couple of times on a friend's FB page and I always giggle.

Proper cooking this time, fried chicken breasts to make sandwiches for dinner.

Just a simple board for supper, Friday night's bread bake {not posted}, tapenade and roasted garlic, Matiz wide sardines in oil. Watch out! I kind of forgot how good Matiz sardines are. {oh and a simple WA blend sipper}

Rode a horse for the first time (Tahoe). Esmé’s favorite photo is below.

Post gig Chocolate Fridge Cake and nice cup of tea

Andrew & Amy took me out for a Father's Day celebration last night, since we'll see my dad today. A nice restaurant in Burlington MA called The Treasury. Restaurant sub-title is Indian and Greek Restaurant (!) but 1) on the online order form there is little to no Greek food, and 2) last night was a limited menu anyway, all Indian. Everything was delicious though! Beet w/Goat Cheese appetizer, 3 variations on curry dishes (2 chicken, one paneer), garlic naan, a mango lassi, and rasmalai dessert. Good food, great company.

Today ... https://bonair.com/brits/ Lucas electrics has no power here, so here are a few of those that made it.

Got the mole....🤣

Afternoon Snack

A few more from cleaning the drive.....

This past weekend I went up to my Maine condo. Met up with an Audio friend for lunch in Portland, then worked my way South back to the condo. I ended up talking non-highway routes (Rt 1), and made stops coincidentally at several places Karen and I visited last Fall when we did a similar trip. Was both sad and wonderful, good memories but emptier without her. For anyone travelling to Southern Maine, some fun foodie places: The Cheese Iron in Scarborough - https://www.thecheeseiron.com/ Holy Donut in Portland and Scarborough (and a smaller location right near my condo!) - https://www.theholydonut.com/ Len Libby Candy shop Scarborough and home of Lenny the Chocolate Moose - https://www.lenlibby.com/ Maine is a beautiful state, lots of great small towns near and off the water. When we would go up, we'd literally feel the stress wash off and our shoulders relax as we crossed the bridge from NH into Maine. Gratuitous pic of Lenny the Moose.....

Took a Boat To The City Saw some controversial art. SF prices? Walked to a tech conference, where the zeitgeist is not just AI, but agentic AI. With phat/sick beats. And the expected A/V kit. Had a tech demo from a CEO, as one does. No need to be alarmed, citizen. Your timer starts now ... The conference ended with a nerd get together ( Code Block Party) Then some San Franciso Street Life And a First Thursday Gathering with one of many Waymos. Then back past the art, In time to catch the Last Ferry back a busy, but enjoyable day

Congratulations to the T2 build. Please, allow me to point out… the crossed/twisted legs of TTA004B/TTC004B that replace 2SK79/2SK216. Great work. No updated boards needed.
