Just an old wuff writing code and teasing otters in the Bay Area. I like photography, board games, role-playing games, and reading science fiction.
Oops, just got a bad review from Oreo. Apparently we failed to unfold the blanket for her late-morning burrowing.

The ott is exploring “health drink sodas” and shared a sip of Olipop Classic Root Beer with me.
~30 calories, lots of herbs, 30% of your daily fiber(!).
The taste I would describe as: a root beer, mixed with a wedding cake, and served in the women’s clothing area of a 1970’s department store.
It’s genuinely not bad, but it has some, unusual, tastes and aromas.
Weird. Mastodon can’t handle still images and video images on the same post?!
Here’s a video of me squeezing the gasket. It’s a little past its prime.
About a year ago a friend at work bought a super-fancy espresso machine, and gave me his old, moderately-fancy espresso machine. This is the first “real” espresso machine I’ve owned, so I’ve just been coasting. In that time I noticed that the machine was getting worse and worse about leaking around the group head when brewing. A little bit of research tells me that the group head gasket needs to be replaced about every year. That was today’s project!
It was a bit of an adventure to remove the one screw holding the shower screen on, but it just took a quick trip to the hardware store to get stubby screwdrivers. We needed those anyway.
What I found on the inside was, um, more than I was expecting.
I had been sorta expecting that the existing gasket would be fine and that the leak was caused by something else. No, no, the existing gasket was not fine!
It’s all clean now, though. Can’t wait for a new cup in the morning!
Whew, that’s more like it! I watched my afternoon caffeine and made the bedroom colder. I did take an antihistamine, too, but always just for one night to get me back in the rhythm.
“Hey Jake, isn’t this an awesome seafood restaurant?! They have a giant octopus sculpture in the back, and the oysters look fantastic, and the … what? What are you looking at? Is there something behind me?”
“Hey Karl, we can’t have people parking their bikes here on game nights. They would block the sidewalk too much. So we’ll just design the bike racks to be removable, right?”
“Oh hell no! Bollards!”
“We replace the bike stand with bollards…?”
“No, you’re thinking too hard. This!”
