Two “cowboys” rode by after I met my nephews off the school bus.

The view while waiting in Walgreen’s aisle 8 for my ‘flu shot.

Designed a claw to pick up and drop a ping-pong ball. My nephews and I will use this to build an arcade game.

Posted My Kagoshima: Kirishima Volcanic Group Practicalities.

Put some old gadgets on sale on eBay. I won’t get much, but reuse is better than recycling.

The rain poured while we had dinner at Victory 44. The setting sun lit turning leaves while we cycled home.

Mercifully, the nephews were more interested in catching stuffed toys than live lobsters

Posted The End of a 500-Mile Walk.

A good day to be indoors planning October hikes.

Honored my mother with a “second breakfast” (coffee and a scone). She enjoyed her “second breakfasts.”

Cycled with a friend. The theme: our former workplaces. One office building had been replaced by a chain restaurant.

Paused for coffee in a former Grain Belt keg house.

Today I’m making a batch of stock, so I posted Freakin’ Cheap: Almost Free Homemade Stock.

Stopped at Sebastian Joe’s, Linden Hills, for essential provisions on a walk round three lakes with friends.

Drove a friend to a checkup where the sun never shines.

Prepared for October hikes: plotted trails, created GPS track files, printed 1:25,000 paper maps (as backup).
