Poor little Jolene

Been a rough week. First she losses her nemesis, Dolly. Now she's on her 5th wash and still smells a little like skunk.
But she’s exotic!
She could have any man she wants.
My happiness depends on you, Jolene.
Love a good rail trail

Three pictures of plated food. The first shows slices of fish arranged in a circle around rice. The second shows thick noodles with beef, grated daikon, thin slices of egg, green onions, a tomato, and half a green citrus fruit. The last image shows a bowl of thin noodles with a dark fish on top, and above that there is a plate with three pieces of sushi with the same fish on top.
Yoko and I visited a town near Lake Biwa, Japan the past two weekends.
1. Funazushi. This is a fish from the lake that has been fermented. It tastes like fish salami. I like it. This one has eggs in it, which makes it about 4x as expensive as without eggs. The stuff in the middle is the rice that it is packed into to ferment. That tastes good, too.
2. Cold udon noodles with local beef. The beef is warm and tender and slightly rich. I'm not sure if the broth picks up flavor from the beef, or if the broth is made from beef, but it is delicious and sticks to your lips. The citrus fruit is a sudachi; it adds a lot to the whole dish.
3. Grilled saba (mackerel) somen and sushi. Also delicious. This restaurant is popular and this somen dish is pretty much all they sell.
Not pictured: Ayu (smelt) so fresh it is still kicking when brought to your table for you to grill and eat. I thought it might be too graphic to include.

The funazushi intrigues me.
These look delicious. What's the texture of the rice the fermented fish was packed into?
@WikiAdam it's a soft, moist mush. Very salty. IIRC, there's not much to chew. The rice is cooked before it is combined, but I don't know if it looks like what you'd have for dinner or what. I'm guessing it breaks down more during the fermentation.

Connections is often maddening, but honestly one of the better puzzles they do, and once in a while the editor sneaks in something good like this.

In Re: https://mltshp.com/p/1RV7L
I can't remember when I started this. Sometime in January maybe? Anyway,I decided to make a big ball from the wax at work just so when customers ask me what that is, I can say "That's the whole ball of wax!"
I'll see myself out.

I've made much smaller versions of this, and it's satisfying, respect for carrying it through to this size.
After a few more pounds, make a sculpture of the cow's head.

May I suggest *5* am for a wake up time?
@bencmeissner My alarm is set for 5 AM. For over two decades I have been waking up before the alarm.
@ardgedee Nice! I love the morning time to do stuff for me before the world gets a hold of me.

Bundles of dried flax awaiting processing into yarn. Among the bundles are 2 flaxy bird nests, one with a blue egg in it.
A weaver on Facebook shared a discovery in her flax pile. These bundles will be retted (waterlogged to loosen the outer layer) and then cracked to access the thin golden fibers inside. The end result will be linen fabric.
This just delights me.

Several figures photographed from high up in a street scene. Everyone has a green rectangle around them with the corresponding text "Person". A man in the middle of the image is wearing a bright, dazzling shirt which helps him remain undetected by the AI camera surveillance system.
"No, I don't have terrible taste in clothing, I just don't want to become part of someone's dataset".
Of course, Flock, et al will just adjust their pattern-recognition to accommodate this sort of thing. It's sort of like how using hand-sanitizer supposedly results in antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Yeah he says he only knows this working against a single model and I assumed it would require updating at some point, still it's nice that someone is trying.

Knight of Wands
alt text
Image shows the Knight of Wands card. The Knight is shown as a young Welsh man walking through a forest. He is using a witch’s stang as a walking stick. The stang is made from Blackthorn and is flowering. There is a flame floating between the stang’s prongs. There are forest creatures watching him, including crows, foxes, salamanders, and Will-‘I-the-Wisps.
Another card completed for my upcoming Feral Path Tarot. The Knight of Wands starring Benjamin Stimpson, author of one of my favorite books on ancestral magic (Ancestral Whispers), and distantly related to me in Lukumí. I hope you enjoy my take on this card. I heard one tarot reader call the Knight of Wands the “Official fuckboy card of tarot”. 🤣 Do with that knowledge what you will.

My son and I in a kitchen holding bags of peppers
Skinned, chopped, and bagged a bushel and a half of hatch chilis with my son
I don't remember this episode of Breaking Bad.
The best smell on the planet is Hatch, NM on a crisp morning when you fire uo the propane burner and roast up a bag in a random parking lot.
@1f2frfbf they were roasting up a bushels down by the tracks in Portland Oregon today. Brought me back to Santa Fe

Three Calvin and Hobbes strips repurposed to be Paul undergoing the test of the gom jabbar from "Dune". In the first, Calvin on the examination table at the doctor's office is approached by the doctor, bearing a box. "What's in the box?" "Pain." In the second, Calvin's mom in the waiting room recites the litany against fear. In the third, in the first panel Calvin yells, "You can contain my body but you can't chain my spirit! Walls can't confine it! Laws can't restrain it! You can try to leave a message but my spirit screens it calls!" In the second panel, loud screaming is heard; Calvin's mother jumps out of her chair. In the third, she asks a disgruntled Calvin, "What did the Reverend Mother say?" He replies, "All history up to this point has been spent preparing the world for my presence."

Killing the vibe

A 3D printer on pavers on a bench.
Decided to see if many pounds of concrete would suppress the sound the vibrations getting to the bench surface, cutting the noise.
Results: Worth the fifteen bucks and all the old man noises I made setting it up.

Damn, that's some disco macrame.
takes care of cd jitter, too
Did you start with one slab and keep adding until you were happy with the results? Just curious because this is totally something I would do
