Doug's Project 365

I went out after work with Kat & Bob in the Seaport. Here’s our final round of beers to round out the gorgeous summer solstice evening.

The first visible very early step in the process of rebuilding my local train station is these marks on the existing platform for “soil boring”, so the engineers know what soil conditions they’re dealing with. This is exciting to see, but it’s going to be a long process, and I hope to see its completion by the time I retire.

The new Dewey Square mural (almost finished) is one of the better ones.

I’m not sure what this duck was discussing with all these geese, but I hope our canoeing by didn’t interrupt anything important.

I had a Boston Speed Dog today.

That’s a half-pound Pearl hot dog on a griddled bun, topped with chili, BBQ sauce, mustard, and onions. The food truck has been closed since around 2013, but Troquet in the leather district inherited the rights and is serving the original recipe once again.

We went to the Steampunk Festival in Waltham today, and saw many things, including this jug band.

We’ve got a little forest of these woodland phlox flowers right now.

The fence is defense against whatever animal likes to behead our tulips just before they bloom. Well not this year, asshole, not this year.

Happy Easter! Here’s some Eggs Goldenrod, the traditional Easter breakfast for me as a kid. The bits of bacon — and the coffee — are non-traditional.

From the beautiful condition and the fact it’s parked inside at the dealer’s service department, this Volvo PV544 is somebody’s baby.
