A Grey Nomad just watched me break down my inflatable catamaran and put it into a bag and said “That’s a very neat setup you got there mate”, so if someone could call my biological father for me and tell him I have a new Dad now that would be great.

Yeah it’s ALL AIDS, ALL THE TIME. Plus some lung cancer.

Two actors on the Quentin Tarantino episode of ER, laying on sun-loungers with their bare feet closest thing to the camera.

Oh, QT.

The overweight guy from the most recent ep of The Pitt was in both shows. So was Bradley Whitffors (and the action who played his wife).

There was an actor with her feet on the table whose character has never done that before.

YESSSSSS

The algo suggested this great show called ER? It’s like The Pitt fuuuucked. And smoked. And everyone had HIV.

Can’t imagine why it hit a tree. Twice.

Nah. Lake Boga. I love to make videos using XTREME music.

Managed to test the DJI Neo 2 anti-bonk technology today in the best possible way — by crashing it into a tree while it was following me on my bike.

Did I mention a bunch of people were nearby picking up litter with grabby claws? Once they stopped laughing they grabby-clawed the drone for me.

“ …the turtleneck is the most flattering thing a man can wear” has been in my head since I read “My father’s fashion tips” in ‘96. When Junod was good, he was incredible. In both senses of the word, as it turned out.

Mac Studio with safety orange plastic 3D printed parts — a SuperDrive casing, a gridfinity had, a normal studio sized hub enclosure is in there, and then there is gridfinity Hat with a hard drive holder.

It’s only accumulating more.

Orange plastic 3D printed tray with relieves hex patterns on it. Behind, out of focus, is the 3D printer.

But Ben

Low on the horizon still so it looks almost unseemly in size.

Perfect time to go outside and look west. The moon is a better.

It’s that most wonderful time of the year (when people remember I used to work at the Grand Prix and then text me about tickets).

You will enjoy this book. It's chock full of advice I think, and not actually a total bummer.

Also, the profits go straight into Rupert's snack fund.

I have come to the realisation that I just bought a 3D printer for the express purpose of replacing everything plastic in my home with orange versions.

You so rarely see a 60 series in good nick. This one was superb.

Sure baby but does he treat you like I would?

A grey plastic spool with hexagonal open walls.

I spent so much time and money last year finding 10” super 8 take-up reels and I could have just been using Squirtbot 3000 to stuff-make new ones by modifying spool models? I am so retroactively mad.

Every little beat counts.

Yeah, Hitch is a 13 year old French Bulldog. He likes a sniff and a stroll rather than a big walk these days.

I’ve got one but he’s aged out of long enough walks for me, sadly.

Furiously.

I’m doing it in two blocks (6.5 and 3.5) and and it’s working well so far. Let’s see how it pans out!

It's a lot of walking. Being a tall person with a long stride helps?

Apart from everybody, why did nobody tell me that 10km of walking each day will get you good sleep? Pretty furious at al the advice I ignored right now. Advise recalcitrants harder, you fools!
