i've been using a moonlander the last few months and have gotten pretty used to it. i actually do use multiple keys on both thumb clusters, but they *are* too far from the rest of the keyboard for me, so i adopted a weird layout w/ the keys shifted inwards ("b" on thumb cluster)

the gang got on the train to toronto and hit the ROM today

this purple thing is the universal symbol for "i was dumb and upgraded to sonoma"

finally put the #kei truck’s roof racks to work today toting wood for a ramp i (thought i) needed to load a cast iron stove i got at auction in dundas ($30 including chimney!)

‪i’d actually like to go to bed right now but i’m already serving as a bed for this one… her name is winnifred and she’s way too comfortable right now. ‬

good evening

a few domestic scenes. last night our freezer failed, but fortunately we were able to find a spot for everything in other freezers. grateful for friends and family that are happy to help, for a life in a place that affords little luxuries and joys and moments of peace every day (if i take the time to let them happen)

setting up this old typewriter for eb, and she just noticed it’s got no exclamation point!

“how will i seem excited? i’ll have to use a dollar sign”

really enjoying this “tradle” game. wordle / worldle, but int’l exports as guessing fodder

everything USB-C
— even old-timey magsafe macbooks

beck and phoenix also used this cool 3d stage projection technique that i hadn’t seen before. very nice!

drone light show in the background while beck did his thing at ontario place last night

grilling in the backyard at night

had a picnic/bbq to welcome my parents moving back to canada — luckily my truck juuust fit between the bollards at the park entrance, so i was able to haul all our stuff up the hill to the pavilion

camped w friends at sibbald point — kayaked the black river, saw lots of cool birds, had good food and beer together, then had a horrible sleep, but still worth it!

aerial screensaver for mac is perfecto.

doodling in the sand with my son tuesday evening. just got back last night and miss the shore already!

right around here i stubbed my toe on a buried boulder yesterday, and it’s now purple and swollen (my toe, not the rock)

bothers me that spots like this — walkable, multi-level, human scale, tied in with nature — are so rare around here that they're basically exclusively used for weddings.
