  1. CW: Today... 2026 March 31 ... Woodworking (sort of), food, dishes, I don't know... 1/?

    Last night (or early early this morning more accurately) I decided that I couldn't face the dishes, and needed sleep more than I needed to sort the dishes out. I really think this was a good decision, as there was a high probability that if I had not gone to bed, but tried to do my usual night time stuff, while I was trying to get to bed, someone would have come and bothered me, so yeah, probably a good decision.

    That said, still not dealt with those dishes, in part because getting stuff like that done during the day ends up being difficult. I start doing stuff, and a good percentage of the time, someone comes and distracts me, so that happened today. I did get
    some of them done. And I managed to not make too many new ones, as I just said, "ah toast it..." to food today...

    Yeah, today was pretty much not dealing with food (for the humans at least, really spoiled creatures if you ask me). I was tired, dishes weren't available to get out of the dishwasher (not my ideal situation to be pulling stuff out of the dishwasher, but better than deciding that I need something that I end up washing by hand). So had toast, and various other very easy things, that made minimal dishes.

    My pain was high (like dangerously high to be honest), and I was pretty tired. I did manage to get a bit of time to lie down.

    Today I did a bit of stuff trying to do some "progress towards doing
    #woodworking " trying to get this shave horse closer to feeling confident just starting to pull some stuff together.

    I wrote up some stuff in
    #TeX last night, just getting some of my thoughts down, and basically that. I did some stuff in #FreeCAD today (and last night) trying to get a drawing together to see what things look like (to go with the writing, which likely will be abandoned, as I'll just do the thing).

    Today, I grabbed an old rusty, handles falling off draw knife, and started to clean it up. In terms of total progress on it, I'd say it's not a lot, but the step from being something I'm not even sure I want to put any time into, to now looking at it a little bit cleaned up, and finding that even as rusty as it is, it still has an edge, it's something I do want to put effort into.

    Another thing I have been wanting to start my summer (well spring) brewing, and started to get a ginger bug together. Unfortunately the previous bug had gone all acetone smelling, and it wasn't really worth the effort to see if I could bring it back, largely because it wasn't enough to do much with anyway.

    So, there's a fresh bug growing. I think I've had it go from nothing to working actively in about a week.

    I have a jar of kombucha, and of apple/pear cider starter. The kombucha I started from nothing but ginger bug, and active vinegar (apple cider, and rice). It took about 4 batches before I was "about to give up" only to find that we had something working quite well.

    I hope to be getting some of that in use. Certainly if it ends up being no good, that's fine too

  3. SAMMAMISH RIVER TRAIL OVERNIGHT CLOSURES IN WOODINVILLE

    The sign is confusing and so is King County Parks website on the matter but I _think_ what's happening is:

    From 6pm-6am (or 8am), Sammamish River will be CLOSED from NE 178th thru I-405 to the North Creek Trail intersection for ramp demolition work overnight MONDAY EVENING to TUESDAY MORNING April 20th to 21st, and SUNDAY EVENING to MONDAY MORNING April 26th to 27th.

    That's as per website; the sign implies it could be all week.

    NO DETOUR IS PROVIDED. The least bad route is NE 175th in #Woodinville to Woodinville Drive which becomes Riverside which you follow to 102nd and the Burke-Gilman trailhead OR use 102nd to get back to Sammamish River.

  4. Healthy forest floor; ground ivy, common ivy, enchanter's nightshade, etc. The herbaceous layer of a forest is perhaps the most undervalued, but the recognition of its importance to a wooded habitat is increasing.

  5. I made this small frame for a small art print I got while in Spain. I added the "Museo Del Prado" (it's a magnet) in an attempt to be a little artistic. It sort of hides that I forgot to crop the picture 😂

  6. "Wooden soldiers storm through burning, buildings on the top floor
    Lives the zoo king's neckties, preventing them from breathing
    Oh, it's such a fuzzy feeling
    Oh, it's such a fuzzy feeling making plans"

  9. Continuing on the coffee table. I cut the tenons for the rails, and the arc on the lower edge, and dry fit the parts. The lower shelf will be captured in the lower mortises in the legs. Shout out to the delta tenoning jig and infra miter gage that makes this accurate and efficient.

  14. Woodwork woe and a Spurs lifeline - West Ham suffer in survival fight
    bbc.com/sport/football/article
    Tottenham were the biggest winners as fellow Premier League strugglers West Ham hit the woodwork four times in their 3-0 defeat at Brentford. #WHUFC #Hammers

  15. @wood5y Really good read, though I remain convinced that human influence is the dominant factor in Iceland's #biodiversity loss...

    ...& as a #forester, believe #UKFS approved #silviculture will lead to similar #soil loss on fragile upland sites, albeit over longer timescale

  16. From: #WoodlandTrustUK

    Responsible #foraging guidelines

    "Leave plenty behind

    "Wild food is vital for the survival of the #UK’s #wildlife.

    "Forage carefully to ensure there is enough left for birds and species to consume now and to ensure plants and fungi can regenerate and reproduce. You may not be the only person foraging and plants and fungi need to produce seeds and spores to grow into the next generation."

  17. @wood5y Most old timers #StopBrexit #SODEM etc. know these. Brussels / Strasbourg is a complex world and acronyms keep sprouting like fungi in the undergrowth. It's so much easier when you're there and, obviously, would be part of our political lexicon if we were still IN ! dem bar stewards (both sets of cunning stunts) really f**ked over #UKPlc . #followdamoney

  18. @Woodchaz I think #Plotinus ate magic mushrooms 4 times in his life, achieving transcendental clarity with the Ineffable that inspired the #Enneads. I think there was a lot of foraging of mushrooms in and around the ancient Mediterranean. wired.com/story/the-psychedeli
