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.
The Annie Cat.
So far, max gust of 40 mph at my backyard today. And that weather station isn’t ideally located.

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.
California Scrub-Jays carefully inspecting our just planted peppers and tomatoes🌱
Happy I got the last batch of beer fermented before this upcoming insane heat wave. We’re transplanting our peppers and tomatoes today. Rob Mayeda on Twitter: “…Temps as much as +20 > average with records in reach (1/2) #CAwx 🌡️🥵”
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!
Lessons learned: in MSFS 2020, never change flight phases if flight plan is manually input to FMS. Super lame because the Plan UI doesn’t let you select transitions, VIAs & airways so its IFR plans are 100% bonkers. Also saved flights don’t seem to save my FMS programming. 😤
Finally got to the season two, episode two of Picard 😳 what a great premise
Only 4% of Flight Simulator players have completed an Instrument Landing System landing‽ Clearly I’m too nerdy for this game.
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.
