Day one of dry-stane-dyking course/volunteer labour on Iona yesterday: repairing/rebuilding an existing wall at Maol croft. Really useful and interesting day.
The local glacial debris of granite and gneiss makes for very hard and irregular stones, but they are all we have to work with!
Three more days later this week , and weather should be much better.... 😊
Switched to ntpd-rs and NTS servers on my laptop.

Visto che sei un estimatore dei Wednesday, caro @muffa, sappi che da questa primavera Karly Hartzman condurrà un programma radiofonico su NTS:
I'm going to decode this.
The autistic's responses are clear but neutral. Meaning, they neither signal submission nor assert dominance. That's a cardinal sin for #NTs.
NTs don't have some secret code. That's a myth. No, they just make it up as they go then lie about it after. What NTs ARE hypersensitive to is hierarchy and if you don't signal hierarchy you're perceived as hostile. That's what's ACTUALLY going on in your interactions.
I also recommend this really good #nts show on #MichelPortal

Playing Psychedelic Rock, Free Jazz, Metal , Industrial , Post Punk. Cherrystones - musician, international DJ, soundtrack composer, compiler and multi-genre music fiend - within his longstanding NTS shows Cherrystones showcases his inspirations, his passions and his listening habits as a sonic moodboard pooled from his revered archive encompassing the past, present and future sounds to soothe and challenge in equal measure.

#NTS #NoteToSelf : rewatch this movie. STAT.
anyway, on to the new projects
most interesting are:
- year round #lrta-#nts connection, no word on whether it will be at pheasant lane or in nashua proper
- #mvrta route into salem nh to connect to the #mta 23 (and obviously the many shopping destinations there...)
- #pvta route from ware to holyoke
- funding for the #srta to work with #ripta to bump frequency on the 24l; not sure how this will work in practice, but will be nice to finally get this up from rush only
