@RoboticistDuck @jblue I did find some articles about #Fresnel technology (once used in lighthouses) being incorporated into solar designs.

A lone seagull keeps watch over the portico of the local hospital. In our area of Japan, it might be a crow instead.

I had my first burger of this trip back to the US. I had this one neat (without fries or any other caloric distractions) and will chase it later with a long walk. This is a “Signature” burger from Graze in #WesterlyRI. Cost $11 + tax and tip. Friendly service. Portion seems just right for me.

This roast was a bit skewed by a ventilation fan being on during the warmup and other chronic technical issues. While it pretty much stuck to the profile, it lacked the momentum going into first crack that I aim for and then subsequently picked up too much momentum after first crack had ended. I hope to correct some issues in my apparatus in the near future to roast these beans in a fashion that is more compatible to our tastes and to the properties of these beans.

I have roasted these beans several hundred of times, so I'm used to their characteristics. For example, first crack commences very silently and it is easy to not perceive. Moreover, these beans don't take heavy handed heat well and are better in somewhat lighter roast profiles than we usually drink these days, so I have developed a much different profile for application of heat during the roast.

Stovetop Roast #1484: Brazil Santos Peaberry (Full City).
☕️ 🇧🇷 🔥
My second roast in the New Year is an old favorite of ours dating back several decades ago when friends used to send us this same origin of peaberries each month which had been roasted in a far away land.

#1483 Cameroon Mbesa Java Wash Giant Peaberries G1 (Vienna)
☕️ 🇨🇲 🔥
We got our hands on a small lot of new beans from Cameroon. This is my first roast of 2026. I aim to dial down the heat a tad in the future, but these giant beans survive the rigors of second crack surprisingly well with tasty results. I'm grateful to the farmers as well as the skillful supervisor of the picking, sorting and long ocean voyage to Japan, Kai from Intafri.

#AndreCare is what you get when #AppleCare runs out, or if you don't want to pony up for the high fees associated with the latter. I was Andre's appointed rep for this repair.
I am most grateful to @iFixit for their fine tutorials and tools as well as for being one of the few sources for trustworthy consumer-oriented replacement batteries which perform according to spec.
