I will refill 🙏🏻

It’s all for show. They just sit in front of the fire and sleep. But they look darn cute doing it.

It was 2 Celsius outside, so pee time has been delayed. Tuesday morning blanket snuggle time has been extended indefinitely.

I set a 5:50 AM departure time once while playing with the settings, then disabled it. Now it keeps turning itself back on, seemingly every Saturday at midnight, and it interrupts charging when it happens.

I’ve disabled Departure 1 multiple times, but the same 5:50 AM schedule keeps returning. Anyone else seen this or figured out how to permanently delete it?

It’s not the end of the world but waking up Saturday mornings with 3/4 charge is getting old quick 😆

When a boy becomes a man post-neuter surgery

I used a mixture of pumice, zeolite, calcined clay and chunks of lava rock. The larger rock is lace.

Any fallen a leaves will easily propagate themselves by laying them within some smaller pebbles.

Currently being lit with roughly 250ppm of light 13hrs a day. I usually drop it a bit in the winter months.

I will fill the tray to the surface of the substrate every 3-4 weeks and spot water in between.

Everything seems content! The moranensis on the right is currently splitting again. The moranensis on the lace rock is from the last time it split.

Pic 3 is P.Formosa

Everything went well! He had been limping a bit for the last few weeks so they did an x-ray while he was under. No issues with his foot either. Dr thinks maybe just some soft tissue damage.

He will be back to bugging Bordot in no time!

They are still loving the Cardinal Flower. Next year I’m planting 47089 of them…overkill?

If you’re wondering what Cardinals are doing when they aren’t at your feeder, they are catching Caterpie.

He landed right in front of me and was clearly enjoying breakfast.

Removed this roughly 160cm dbh silver maple today. We knew there would be some internal decay, as it had a limb fail earlier this year, but the extent of the rot was still pretty impressive once we got into it. Huge central decay column with surprisingly little sound wood remaining through parts of the stem.

Always interesting seeing what a mature tree has been hiding behind the shell.

Look at those LPMs! (Licks per minute)

He did get his own tiny puppy cone of vanilla.

Apparently we were blessed by the Icelandic elves because the weather was almost suspiciously good. Rain when we arrived, rain when we left, and mostly sunshine with barely a cloud in between. I assume the invoice is still coming.

We had one minor hiccup early on when our Day 2 ferry to Vestmannaeyjar didn’t work out (Rough seas) We shuffled the itinerary and visited on our way back west instead, which actually worked out really well.

Highlights were hiking the volcano on Heimaey, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, the geothermal rye bread experience at Fontana, Eldheimar museum and finding some lesser-known waterfalls where we were literally the only people there.

That last part was especially nice because we discovered we are very much not crowd people. Gullfoss was beautiful, but after having waterfalls completely to ourselves, being surrounded by tour buses and a small nation’s worth of Gore-Tex was a bit of an adjustment.

We also highly recommend doing Iceland by campervan if that kind of trip suits you. The freedom to change plans on the fly was fantastic, and some of the campsites were destinations themselves.

Our favourites were Vík Campground, Skaftafell, Glamping & Camping Vestmannaeyjar on Heimaey, and Þingvellir Campground.

Overall: beautiful, weird, windy, occasionally sulfur-scented, and somehow blessed with nearly perfect weather.

Picture 2 appears to be Finnegan seeing the Doggie Chiropractor. He must have had a sore neck from all the playing 🤣
