May. 20th, 2018 07:55 pmI've been really quiet lately because I have too much going on, and none of it is interesting enough to post about.
I did go on a nice bike ride, up the side of a mountain that I thought was just going to be fairly smooth forests, until we came out into a clearing and saw this.
Saturday was Pokemon Community Day, and we wandered around a nearby lake catching virtual animals and watching real ones. There were some waterfowl I didn't recognize, floating in the lake and bobbing upside-down for food, but with long narrow beaks rather than the broad ones of geese and ducks. There were also a ton of cormorants.
This always looks to me like a treasure island of some sort.
My dad used to tell us stories about a cat and dog who were inventing technology. They had a secret underground hideout and mine in an island, and I always imagined it looking like this.
I rebuilt a bbq light I got years ago to make it AC powered rather than battery powered, because while I loved having the light, the batteries had a very short lifetime. I drilled a hole in the side and soldered some wires into the plastic battery carrier, and spliced on an old cellphone charger of about the right voltage, and it works much better now.
Today I rototilled too much of the garden and went out to dinner with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
maribou and birdmojo at a lovely place downtown.
