Last week, went to the Ridge. Now Laguna Seca this weekend, and signed up for babby moto 101 class next month. Why? Go fast go brrrrptht go weeeeee #motoamerica

Echoes and specters and ghosts of none the wiser out the wazoo #paranormal #puscifer

Today was wild. Last day of school bc cyber attacks at start of year pushed schedule, kiddo learned to ride bike WITHOUT TRAINING WHEELS in
20 mins - she made friends as the neighbors came out to play in the cul de sac, my dear wife picked up and threatened to throw a British twink in a dumpster…

My dear wife implored, begged; she is clearly intensely affected. I simply must try an overnight bulk ferment, for her sake.

Perhaps I am guilty of coveting this lil bit of dough that started its life several generations ago and should just be brash with it like with my recently grown, but it feels more precious so I will continue to pamper at will 😌

Cut it pretty close with the leftovers in my fridge of my girlfriend’s prized starter, oof, time to grow Lil bulby some more with some carefully planned feeds. Meanwhile, my homegrown continues to get scraped down to dregs and somehow revives from 2g every time. Sourdough is punk, actually 😂

TFW someone else out in the ether also names their sourdough starter doughg dimmadoughm and you have the wonder twins or venture bros meeting of energies 🥰😌

Rye loaf vs standard wheat. Used the same recipe ratios but swapped 1/3 flour for rye and also used rye starter. Both BF to 60% at 71F. rye continues to rye-s in the fridge whereas the wheat gets pretty well halted from rising. This is my favorite way to experiment because at the end? You get bread.

3 days of consistent doubling within 6 hours and 7+ days since established, so my rye based baby was ready to test. Slightly less oven spring than the long established starter (pic 3) but promising results 🥰 #sourdough

Back to bread. Why do I do this when it’s getting warm outside?

So close to having a functional roof again

A crust of bread in peace rather than a feast in disquiet - some version of a proverb that sometimes ya just gotta deal with. this is all gonna be a screenplay at the end with all the twists and turns, Christ almighty. Don’t wanna disclose fully before the job is complete, but holy hell, what a ride

This is how it’s going, if you’re wondering

Beautiful Life Ace of Base · The Bridge · Song · 1995

Fuckin hell, what a ride. Refinancing to pay off debt more effectively from last year’s trials, turning into a roof job absorbing like a third of that value, wasn’t on my bingo card for this year. Keeping my spirits up with Ace of Base, of course. open.spotify.com/track/74jTex...

Gotta redo a section of roof, down to the wood 🙃 this is fine

Deli Gabriel Bolkosky, Sandor Slomovits · Home From Work · Song · 2008

Went with my sister to a cultural music studies class or somethin when I was a young one, this one track stands out in my mind, I wish I had the studio version but this live one is also amazing open.spotify.com/track/2ChHmp...

Had an excess of moss from typical PNW moisture, we hired Johnny Tsunami (lol) to soft brush most of it off and kill the rest with zinc. The technician did an amazing job for us, cleaned the mess and left it nicer than he found it, even 🥰 would recommend this company for Seattle area maintenance 👍👌

Tryin to get some financial/property shit sorted.
Wife scheduled an appraiser, he had a funeral; cancelled.
scheduled another appraiser, cancelled; no excuse.
Financial institution person called after hours to inform about them calling around for an appointment.
I hope they get paid for this.

Rough day for our neighbors, an engine that wouldn’t turn over this mornin (sounded like a starter issue 😩) and a security cam now on the fritz blinking this eve 😮‍💨 since my guy is preoccupied I can prolly get away with not mowing for a few more days but I think I might do it tmrw to ease his mind 😌💅

*sigh* yard work season suddenly started 😮‍💨

And now I will leave her faceless and unfinished for another several months until motivation strikes again, I’m sure #tabletop

I used to think I had no wave pattern, perhaps maturing or perhaps hormonal shifts after pregnancy caused this but, my untreated & un-curly method’d hair still pretty fluffy. Still honing in on the best method for me (aka I get dizzy & don’t wanna flip my head upside down for perfect diffusion)

A couple of spiders that have been hanging on the ceiling of our shower bathroom for a few days. Don’t have many indoor pests and while it’s damp often, I don’t think they’re getting any nutrition. Tough love, took a duster to their webs and they were def mad but like, leave. You’ll perish if not 😔

Had a conflict of plans with my dear wife who wanted to go to a thing but had another thing tbd for the schedule, and logistics got under our skin a bit trying to make mutual plans, but then the artist cancelled the whole tour before we came to a compromise… so I guess that solves that #fate

As I age, some songs come more and more into my repertoire, but Ventura Highway has always been and will always be a constant. Sing it and I dare you to feel anything other than the free wind blowing through your hair

Miss ma’am is doing very well on ever decreasing insulin doses and her hair has grown back in nicely. Bonus: it’s been very fair weather the last two days so she’s finally returned to her window perch for naps.

Every bit a unique beauty of human nature, we enjoy your bits to fullness 😩

Well?

Churu has an iron hold on us; the diabetic cat will not tolerate a poke without a churu. If we don’t wait to give her insulin during or after the treat has been administered, kitty employs serpentine tactics and attempts evasion. Guess there are worse fates than giving the cat a treat twice a day.
