Something in the air this morning. Or at least up my nose. Luckily the sneezes gave up after a bit.

Talked too much about Factorio, gave some lip service to Wandering Inn. Commented on the foliage and flowers, as one does.

It shoulda been a low key, pleasant day yesterday instead of what it was.

I made a haircut appointment for this morning. Talked about stuff but honestly I don’t remember what. Two different cats, fun with Linux secure shell, and possibly reading. I’m not sure.

After another extended dental visit, I came home to moving two honking pieces of furniture around in the basement to get the treadmill back into shape for the season to come.

Granted, not as cold as it’s going to be but I was under-dressed for “low 40s” and no sunshine.

Talked about fun with SSH, eating with no taste buds, homemade bread, and the trying day ahead with dental in a few minutes and then furniture arranging.

Luckily it’s a 2-day so not starting was never on the table. The weather changed dramatically over the course of 40 minutes. The fog and overcast dissipated by the time I made it around the loop.

I talked about Ed Nelson’s Cast in Time series again. I’m still working on transferring cassettes, although some of them aren’t in the best shape. Did not talk a lot about Factorio but I need to spend some time there today to keep on top of the factory.

Just barely crawling today but I made it around. Talked a little about Factorio, pulling audio from cassettes, and Ed Nelson’s Cast in Time series.

After yesterday’s hustle, this morning felt pretty laid back.

Talked about Noah Chinn’s series ender, Ed Nelson’s Cast in Time series. Gave a nod to the next volume of Wandering Inn and Factorio. I’m not thinking about what I might write next. No. I’m taking a break to enjoy the time when I don’t have a WIP burning my brain out.

Needed to get the walk in before my lab work.

Talked about fun with EFI, a little Factorio, and my gratitude over having the Cat on somebody else’s desk.

Probably talked too much about upgrading to Mint 22. Also mentioned book 3 in Noel Chinn’s Lost series, nodded at Factorio, and threaded my way past a whole bunch of road work.

Oh, and I reset my fast boot problem. Even with it off, the machine boots in like 2 seconds. The glowy keyboard makes me happy.

I geeked out over Ventoy, linux distros, and Factorio.
