I need a larger cargo net

I needed to get some charcoal for the grill.

Error F02

I guess it's time to clean out the washing machine filter?

Do you think this might be the reason why our clotheswasher was freaking out during the drain cycle?

Railroad (and trolley) picture of the day

A northbound Coast Starlight pulls out of Union Station while a trolley passes overhead

The Coast Starlight, a Cascades & a streetcar at Union Station (the Portland section of the Empire builder is on the track between the Coast Starlight & the Cascades, but it’s far enough back to be hidden in this picture.)

Emergency shopping

A very important shopping trip

Running out of kitty litter results in a shopping trip that cannot under any circumstances be put off.

Here I go again

Ripplebrook, round 2

Back to Ripplebrook, this time at a somewhat more sprightly pace, and on a sunny day which wasn’t so hot it melted me into a puddle while I was doing it.

Out on the line

The kit bike & the Springdale dragon

It may not have been the smartest decision to ride a populaire on a day where it went up to 100+°F, but it (marginally) beats sitting at home second-guessing a decision not to ride.

Has Dust Mite been taking steroids?

Chomp chomp!

An overly successful bread pudding

This was a vegan bread pudding that used stale bagels as the base stock. It was, um, kind of successful; it vanished before I could even think of taking a picture of the final product.

Idle hands at play

Idle hands at play

Two spec racks – one cut down from an 8x15 platform, the other one custom made to fit the green experimental rando bag I built earlier this year – that I assembled during my spare time while building a rack and a bag over the past few weeks. I’m going to check powdercoating prices and try to see if it’s worth my while to have someone else powdercoat my racks (or if I have to bite the bullet and buy a pocket powdercoating rig.)
