Kitties are helping me read my book.

The sun came out below the overcast at the end of today’s storm, illuminating the trees down the street in rich evening light.

This is the guts of my mother in law’s tablet. She killed the charging port, rendering it useless. Fortunately, the little flex circuit you see on the right is easily replaceable and still available (Thanks Internet!). This repair is not entirely altruistic, because I’m promised I can borrow this tablet for Galapagos should I fix it.

Facebook folks, click through to see the result.

I needed to spend a few dollars to fill out an order for free shipping recently, so I bought myself ice molds that make huge sphere and cube ice cubes.  Glass for scale.

 

I went outside and tested my new lens today, on the first decent-weather weekend day we’ve had since I bought it. It’s not a macro lens, but it has pretty decent close-focus ability.

Evidently my phone took a bunch of pictures of the inside of my pocket today. Here is one.

In this photo taken just after sunrise we have: reddish light from the sun, blue light from the garage weather beacon, yellowish incandescent light from the neighbor’s window, and white-ish light from the moon.

We took the kitties to the vet today. I think Gandalf has forgiven me.

Yup, that’s me… cutting open a bag of coffee in the WRONG DIRECTION!
