I ride trail trails throughout Appalachia, drink lots of coffee, and live to tell about it. Central PA is where I call home.

Happy Tuesday everyone! I love the way the color came out on my afternoon long black:

#coffee #espresso

I don't doubt the future relevance of what we're generously calling "AI" right now, but I'm tired of marketing departments cramming it down our throats as "useful".

AI as it stands today is a novelty at best.

Today I'm trying a new-to-me local #coffee roaster in Gettysburg #PA. This is their Costa Rican blend.

I'm still mastering my espresso technique but this turned out deliciously!

At first, I thought the camera was above the water

I'm color blind, and I can't see any difference between the normal, red, and green simulations.

Imagine a color you've never seen before, with no red, green, or blue. That's what it's like for me to imagine the color red. Or green.

Can confirm! I'm textbook red-green color blind, and I can't see a difference between the normal, green, and red simulations.

When people ask what it's like, I say imagine a color you've never seen before, without any red, green, or blue in it. That's what it's like for me to imagine red or green.

My last #caturday post for today: Jack (R) and his sister Beanstalk (L) have decided it's naptime.

We aren't positive, but we think Beanstalk is a Chartreux.

Same with us! Except one of ours hasn't learned that she can burrow under on her own, so she sits and cries until we come lift up the blanket for her.

Better Call Saul on the screen, Great Lakes Elliott Ness amber lager in my glass, and Jack -- our one eyed triple adoptee -- in my lap. Perfect afternoon!

Bluesky, meet Jack. He's our one eyed triple adoptee and he's in charge.

Day one of #pancakequest25 and things were off to a good start ... until I tried the bacon.

Nobody likes floppy bacon. This is a crime against humanity.

I'm starting off on Bluesky by posting about something that is very important to me, but that rarely gets the attention it deserves:

#pancakes

Since my favorite local diner closed, I'm trying to find a decent replacement that isn't just instant foodservice mix.

Hi everyone! I decided to give this Bluesky thing a try. What's good?
