Been several years & usually I’m behind on WiFi tech so figured it was time replace the old eero Pro with an eero Pro 6E. I only use one eero as the house is tiny. Now getting top WiFi speeds on the local network 🙌

Mockingbirds are going to have an amazing late summer of grapes from our cultivated California grapes. These have an amazing assortment of bugs too. Still have ladybugs in them. 🌱
Pineapple guavas have been blooming for a few weeks now. The Mockingbirds love munching on the flower petals.

Spring.
Wild California Grape flowers.
Area scrub jays have really got the hang of our feeder. Although, recently one jay tried to peck at the seeds through the transparent canister.
Our homemade Bulgogi fries. Inspired by a food show that had a terrible implementation of this idea. We got it right 🤫
Here’s a magenta flower from one of our cultivated California Wild Roses.

Today was the first taste of the Bravarian Hefeweizen home-brew and it is an unqualified success. This second brew is better carbonated (first was borderline flat) and it is more flavorful than Hank’s Hefeweizen. Both kits were from Northernbrewer.com.

Good morning, Waffle! 🧇
Colors balance shift is a key part of Film recipes so my Shortcut would fail to match as white balance would inexplicably reset via Q. Fujifilm found the bug too: “bug has been fixed, which caused that WB SHIFT saved as ‘CUSTOM’ would be disabled by operating the ’Q’ menu.”
Hefeweizen bottling day. Here’s my factory. This’ll be the last brew until winter as I don’t use much air conditioning or have a fridge for fermenting. I’m quite happy with seasonal brewing. It’s kinda stressful!
Avocado flowers! 🌱🌳
Assassin bugs are bad ass. They seem to be more common than ever in our yards. They’re also not camera shy. We welcome them!
Poppies (1st photo) are now in full bloom and clarkias (2nd) are about to do the same. 🌱
Recent mornings, our cultivated native California grape leaf tips have droplets of water. Apparently this process is called guttation. They’re likely telling me to cut back on way earlier than normal drip watering. 🌱
Now in bloom in our backyard: cultivated California Wild Roses (pic 1) and Elderberry (2). Still gorging themselves: ladybugs. Everywhere in our front yard. They’re just decimating aphids. Ladybugs particularly love coyote bush (3) and sage.
Here goes my second brew - a simple Bavarian Hefeweizen. With way warmer than normal temperatures I figure our house will be close to or within the ideal fermentation temperature range. 🤞
Eurasian Collared Dove drinking party.
Potatoe croquettes for lunch today. Great use of leftover mashed potatoes.
Citrus gummies are a great way to use backyard citrus. We made Meyer lemon with Valencia orange gummies. An Alton Brown recipe. We’ve frozen our remaining Meyer lemon juice. Our citrus season is now over.
macOS Shortcuts, Logger for Shortcuts, Shortcuts Temporary Files, and Hazel
Sunday, March 13, 2022
Logger for Shortcuts provided me exactly the information to figure out how to get Hazel to properly use a Shortcut against a file. Now I can have Hazel run a specific Shortcut against a file whenever a new file shows up. Background: for some reason when Hazel starts a Shortcut, the Shortcut operates on a copy of the file in a temporary folder. My programmer brain assumed that the Shortcut Input would be immutable.From last Monday near Tomales Point in beautiful California, a genus Arctia moth caterpillar on lupins.
From last Monday, a very loud acorn woodpecker at the Point Reyes National seashore visitor center.
