I had a moment today while looking at treemacs and thinking how if you expand into a markdown or org file for tags it auto folds them after a certain depth. However, I don't normally use treemacs and run on the built in project/buffer management/tab bar for navigating files. What I do use a lot is the imenu-list sidebar for navigating file structure and it does not fold anything by default.

So I dug into my init.el file and

• Setup a default folding configuration for it along with a command to refold everything if needed that runs once per buffer. When you open a new buffer for instance I have it set to autofold after depth 2
• I also realized the highlighting face it uses isn't visible enough for me so I broke out another local face with appropriate priority
• I've always fiddled around with using unicode arrows instead of the built in + symbol. I reworked it so its done cleanly totally in config rather than hacking imenu-list itself like I've done in the past.
• I also brought my config to set the menu bar to a short unicode character for an outline + buffer name into the config from custom.el so its self contained. I like this better than seeing *IList*

We went down to the Lewis River today. This is from the upper falls.

This is a variant of Ken Forkish's pain de campagne recipe. I used the mixer/bread hook after autolyzing the flour, used rye rather than wheat flour for the addition to the bread flour and then did normal stretch and folds. I also went a little (30g) under the water and was going to add it back after adding the starter but I thought the dough looked good and left it. In retrospect, the crumb is a bit tighter than normal which may be due to that. In the end, I think this was my highest loaf which was exciting - nearly 5 inches on a 400 gram flour recipe. Also surprising, this was baked seam side up with no scoring and is supposed to "explode" on the seams but I ended up with a classic ear anyways.

I'm fairly proud of this loaf. We are in a rental kitchen, and I decided to try a new recipe (brioche from serious eats) There was no mixer so everything including incorporating the butter was done with a wooden spoon and the oven is a bit funky in terms of temperature. Now it's on its way to becoming French toast.

We just had these planted during our landscaping project two weeks ago. It was horribly hot the weekend they were planted and a few days the week after. They’ve all received the same amount of water . Last week they were still kinda green, this week we had over an inch of rain and they are now yellow on the outside, branches still show green when scratched. And still have some green needles towards the inside of the trunk. Are these a lost cause?

At this point it's probably medium-small now and I should rename it.

I've been trying this recipe from Ken Forkish via eater https://www.eater.com/24264584/ken-forkish-sourdough-bread-pan-loaf-recipe-adapted

It's very tasty but the first time I tried it even while mixing I thought that my regular 9x4 loaf pan would be too small given it has 550 grams of flour and I normally do 3 cup / 360 gram recipes and end up with a full sized loaf. Sure enough that try was a huge mess. Today I redid and scaled everything back to 75% and it fit. There is a note in the recipe that a 9x4 Pullman pan should optionally be used. After experimenting, I don't think that's very optional. Also the bake times are long and hot for what I usually do (350 for 30 minutes for a loaf vs 425 for 50) I ended up scaling the bake time down as well when it looked done and internal temperature was correct. So I am a bit puzzled if it's just me :)

This is Ken Forkish's Pain de Campagne. This time around I tried dusting it with some rice/flour prior to baking to have the ridges stand out a bit more and I used rye rather whole wheat flour.

This is the pain de campagne recipe from Ken Forkish.

I bought some rice flour this time for dusting. The creases were not quite at the top for the natural steam vents that are in all of Ken Forkish's pictures but it's a bit closer. Also I ended up cold fermenting for a few extra hours because I miscalculated the time and didn't want to get up at 4 in the morning.

I haven't quite nailed the appearance yet and I would like a bit more height but I'm going to try this one again.

I have the cookbook but here's an online version https://pojosbreadblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/pain-de-campagne-from-flour-water-salt.html?m=1

It still feels like the weather on average has been cooler than normal.

I've been watching the drumeo series where they have drummers from bands come in and make up a part on the fly for a song they haven't heard before.

They just recently put up a video with Jake Sommers who tours with Luke Combs which was fun to watch. He's playing to Gojira which is quite a genre swap.

(Sidenote: I've never really delved into it before but it looks like he's not one of the session drummers who are used on most of the albums)

Its a fun listen but the comments on YouTube were kind of thought provoking as well.

There were several to the effect "Drumming isn't as complex in country music as [some other genre like metal]". Its another thing I don't think about usually when listening since I'm drawn to other things in a song. I'm curious what other think though? Is there a song you can think of with an interesting complex/prominent drum part in it?

The oak leaf has a bunch of buds that haven't opened up yet while my climbing hydrangeas are starting to really blossom.

For the longest time I had a climbing white rose on this fence but I was losing the battle against rust and decided to take a sabbatical. I dug the whole thing out (or so I thought) and planned to try out some other climbing plant. 2 years later though it appears I missed a piece of the root ball and it was definitely a grafted rose. I now have this surprisingly attractive unknown red rose climbing up the fence. So far it does appear more disease resistant so I'm letting it be / training it for now. I always assumed grafting stock wasn't very interesting so this has been an interesting unintentional experiment.
