This was peak near Milwaukee. #eclipse

The company I work for scheduled a mock tornado drill today at 1:45pm CDT. People have asked for a while to have it rescheduled since it basically coincides with peak solar eclipse.

They do not appear to be willing to cancel the drill or reschedule. Clearly deliberate.

Glad I decided to work from home today :)

For those that are in the office today, I expect there will be a mass exodus at lunch.

I figured out how to get a woody in my mid 40s without pills. Just need a pair like these! #woodducks #birds #waterfowl

It doesn't matter to me at all, and I'm not sure why, but it's fun to watch Duke lose.

Adopted another bike in need of a good home. Rescued from Trek's Red Barn Refresh.

2022 Fuel EX 8. Swapped in my Line Pro 40s with XR4 up front, XR2 out back, carbon bars, and not pictured, four-pot XT brakes.

Hey, nice ash!

Chainsaw milling another log today. Big one too. The wood is gorgeous.

Our equipment recycler that my employer contracts with sells the "old" and "end of life" machines from us (and other companies) for decent prices. Was in need of a new portable; so I snagged this Lenovo T480s that doesn't even look used (not a scratch) for just over $200. i5-8350U, 16GB, 512GB nvme, touchscreen (1920x1080). Such a nice system.

Wiped the Win10 install and put Mint on it and away we go. Why buy new?

I never have been able to capture a tufted titmouse with the camera until today. See them occasionally; stealthy enough that it's always a treat to see them. #birds #birding

Chainsaw milling some ash for future sugar shack floor. So pretty.

@Michigander

Yes, trying to squeeze just a bit more sap out of my maple trees before they bud too.

Good morning!

@drskyskull

I see a lot of people where I work doing puzzles. I wish they could help with the massive backlog of things me and my three person team need to do. About all they manage is to schedule meetings to have us figure out how we're going to get everything done.

@bartjan @Quinnypig

Where I work, the auto.* Files for autofs (hundreds of application filesystem mount points) are symlinked to NFS locations.

I keep asking when will this be fixed and the response is always "it's been like this forever."

JFC it's February in Wisconsin.

I'm sorry, but....fuck this shit.

Trying to make maple syrup here, not a microbe experiment.

@ambulocetus Mosquitos, ants, flies, moths...all in February. :(
