gonna batten down the hatches

Nov 11, 2022

If Mr. Weatherman is right, it should be raining by the time I get up (writing this just after midnight). Keeping that in mind — along with the cooler temps rolling in — I spent a bit of time outside yesterday enjoying the 70 degree weather. It was wonderful, you guys.

Dharma liked it too… she just wants me away from the stairs that she’s afraid to climb.

It was still warm outside at sunset.

See my tripod sitting there? The beautiful sky in the above photo was taken with my trusty mobile phone. It’s about as good as what I captured with the Canon EOS:

Kitchen and dining room paint incoming.

So long as my day doesn’t fall apart, painting will begin tomorrow. I’ve got a few hundred screws to take out and patching to do but I should still have progress to share the next time you visit here.

TIL (Today I Learned): While orbiting the moon aboard Apollo 11, Mission Control detected a problem with the environmental control system and told astronaut Michael Collins to implement Environmental Control System Malfunction Procedure 17. Instead he just flicked the switch off and on. It fixed the problem.
