Katie and I gave Dad the LEGO mineral set for his birthday, and since he’s a geologist he did a comparison between the LEGO versions and the actual minerals from his collection. https://www.flickr.com/photos/piedmont_fossil/albums/72177720332040040/

@digichelle I switched to Fastmail from Gmail a few years back and have had zero issues!
Hadn't gone running in ages but when I saw a sign for a run festival benefitting a local elementary school I signed up for a 5K. Went for a shakeout run this past Monday and did 5K at 11:06 / mile. Today was the actual race and just got the race results:
29:59, pace 9:39 / mile
112th out of 291
78th out of 149 men total
28th out of 43 men age 40-49
Not bad for a geezer who hasn't run in four years!
@APBBlue@thepit.social @nathanlovestrees@disabled.social One of my sisters had a shirt with the Lemonheads candy logo on it. She once left a store and my mom followed a moment later, and as she passed two kids on their way in she overheard “you da lemonhead” “no, YOU da lemonhead”. So now that’s one of our family insults. 😂

@APBBlue@thepit.social I'm having flashbacks to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRDXfZEmA5Y … "I'm repainting the garage and wanted to know if latex would bond to stucco, so I thought I'd search for, I dunno, latex bondage." 😂

After installing a basement’s worth of baseboards, I’ve learned I hate installing baseboards.
Katie was at a baby shower earlier today so I was being domestic while she was out. When she got home:
Katie: “I need to swap…”
Me: “I already did.”
Katie: “…the load of laundry. GOD, YOU’RE THE BEST.”

@peter@thepit.social So true. How am I supposed to know if maybe he actually wrote “Open the Foreign Strait, you crazy birds”? I’m of the opinion that any quote from anyone should be reproduced verbatim.

Me yesterday: now that my NAS is out of the data center and in my home I should configure a network UPS for it and my network components
Me @ 2 PM: glad I got that set up so now if the power goes out, my Raspberry Pi DNS server will see that the UPS has lost power and get my NAS and Mac mini to shut down, but testing it will have to wait
Transformer down the street @ 3:45 PM: *KABOOM*
Me @ 3:50 PM: HOORAY EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN
Me @ 3:55 PM: OH, INCLUDING MY MASTODON SERVER 😩
