Actually, I baked a pie because I really enjoy baking, sharing, and eating pie. Unfortunately I took a nap (because blow off) and missed my chance to protect the outer crust. Real bummer. But the main crust looks fantastic and the whole pie smells great. Rhubarb, lemon, and vanilla. 😀
It's what I do every birthday.
Project Hail Mary in 70mm!
Preparations were made. The precious cargo safely stowed. After careful planning, the launch was perfect. Long-unseen views out the portals. And finally, the landing was just right.
Yes, I am back in Portland after three weeks, which I think is the longest I’ve been away from a home in decades.
What’d I miss? 😀
No Kings Staunton, Virginia
Also, for once, the first time I’ve seen a UX improvement to fan dingle-dangle chains: plastic fobs with imagery of a fan or a light bulb.
I can get them straight if I stop and think about it, but I shouldn’t have to. This is better.
Another 90% attic / 10% “the rest” job — adding a room ceiling fan. Done!
Range between 19F and 78F in the same half-week? Ok.
Spent half of yesterday and basically all of today replacing the range hood with my dad. Involved adding a new outlet inside the cabinet (old one was hardwired) and running its ground wire up to tap into one in the attic (that eventually, like any good ground wire, contacts a water pipe in the basement). The attic was our fourth approach to adding the ground. What a job! 😅
Late in the day, but in the absence of being able to make a pie today, I’ll share a couple I made last month and my second favorite pie plate.
