The little lead that could. I found this sinker after I came home from surf fishing, ran errands the next day, then drove to Monterey. ~100 miles

This new glitch led me to a Corolla factory. I couldn’t resist.

A little smoked salmon done just about right.

I’l trying to reverse engineer an AMAZING crawfish boil I had for lunch today, and two of these seeds are perplexing me. Coriander on the left for scale. They were steamed so hard they had no flavor to help me figure it out.

Feeding time. Roach was dead and headless, but these maniacs aren’t taking any chances.

Arrrrrgh! I hate carpet beetles! Yesterday I found a project that accidentally got buried, brought it with me to wait for an all day auto repair, only to find dozens of little snips in the yarn. Here’s the aftermath. Project can proceed, it’s striped anyways.

I accidentally knocked off a port plug yesterday and didn’t notice. Woke up this morning to dozens of harvester ants wandering around my room. I’m sure I’ll be finding them for weeks yet. Pogonomyrmex occidentalis, with stings and plenty of attitude.

Thanks random stranger for the best game I’ve played in a while. After all the hang up bots and nutty deck mishaps, this game was truly fun.

What is this knot? Several sessions with Google got me nowhere. Bought these pre-snelled hooks and I’d like to know more about this odd snell knot.

My little dudes drying off after a shower. Tried night fishing last night, but forgot to buy and bring one item: a headlamp. After the sun went down I was forced back to my car. No bites.

Lavender Ladies update: since they seemed so interested in lavender stems I put a few chopped bits in the foraging chamber, and added some oak chips from veneer. This is two days later. I feel compelled to point out the chips carefully stacked in the rear portal. Camponotus quercicola.

Went out to bust a myth, and busted it got! I carved a cheap brass spoon into a b*nana shape, painted it yellow, and it caught a 2.5 stocker rainbow.

Ended an epic fishing day with a 2 lb lightning trout. It was an off-the-hook day, and didn’t have time to finish my breakfast. The running joke that day was if you weren’t catching fish then go get a sandwich and take a bite.

Can you help me identify a pattern? Not Entrelac, but simple color work. I bought a kit once and had it started, but lost it after a couple moves. I’ve tried Ravelry for rainbow, colored square, and colored block cardigan with no luck yet. Roughly sock weight yarn, maybe finer.
