Hey @piperformissouri.bsky.social Have you seen this? Kansas City is #1 Metro area for most departures and St. Louis is also on the top 10 list. www.newsweek.com/map-major-ar...

Tomatoes in snow.

I spent today playing host to a family member who wants to move to Baltimore. I provided a whirlwind tour of Riverside, SoBo, Canton, Brewers Hill, Greektown, Herring Run, Hamilton, Lauraville, Waverly, Hampden, Charles Village and Remington. This was hard work.

For the Baltimore City bluesky contigent. A pedestrian was killed this morning at 5200 Park Heights Avenue, so I did my usual complaint letters and service requests.

Trump approval Arkansas -1.8%. Economist. 11/25/25 Tom Cotton and John Boozman should be very concerned. @theshumater.bsky.social @bluehogreport.bsky.social www.economist.com/interactive/...

I neglected my carrot harvesting duties this year. This was the result.

I've seen pics of your cats, puppies and even chickens BlueSky, but nobody has the fiercest fluffiest worms as I do. These worm babies are so red and plump. @enthusmiasma.bsky.social

@arkansasadvocate.com @theshumater.bsky.social @arktimes.bsky.social Arkansas is 0.7% away from not having a positive view of Donald Trump, according to the Economist. www.economist.com/interactive/...

Here is my other work of art for my ebike. I wanted a flat rack as a front rack for my bike, but the only a basket rack was available for the preset holes on my front post. I ordered this rack knowing that I'd have to make it fit. I used a burr bit it to extend the preset holes where I needed them.

I made a ebike battery rocker switch, not because I needed one but because I could. This switch is supposedly rated for 20amps, seems robust. I think the box looks quite nice. It works but needs more rigorous testing. @fateswarning86.bsky.social

Grasshopper can't get enough of my Locust sapling.

Three blocks from house but can’t deboard ship yet. So close yet so far.

@theshumater.bsky.social I thought things weren't going well in Little Rock. West Memphis, Arkansas has a 2024 per capita homicide rate of 72. Impressive! www.safehome.org/resources/cr...

The wrath of the cherry tomatoes. They just keep coming.

@thetnholler.bsky.social Time for Memphis to create a to-do list for the incoming National Guard. Idle hands are the devil's workshop.

Pennsylvania Ebike adventure time! No car no worries.

Growing pile of ebikepacking-related travel crap.

This is an ebike and bikepacking adjacent craft project. First admire my new industrial grade ground cloth for my tent. But wait, it transforms magically into an Amtrak-approved bag that can carry 50 pounds of gear.

@fateswarning86.bsky.social I'd like to give you an update on the ebike project. I got everything working the way I wish except for one tiny obstacle. Back in April I bought the only bullet connectors I could find online. They had no gauge rating.

Normally I like to start the week planning any potential trouble I could cause. I was so effective last week that I don't have to plan trouble for this upcoming week. Sometimes I'm a little too good at what I do. 😈👹😏😆

Today's project was another battle against the rat. As you can see Mr. Rat ate yet another hole through some of my mesh, this time my basement window screen.

I have new fun train-friendly stickers for my ebike.🚴‍♀️🚵‍♂️

This was yesterday's project. After 35 years of fighting with the rats who used my little downspout pipe as a hideaway I threw in the towel. I disengaged the downspout from the pipe and decisively won the war with 5 pounds of mortar mix stuffed the hole. Rats are livid.

@thetrueshelby.bsky.social Are you in X jail?

@thetnholler.bsky.social "While there has no doubt been progress, violent crime in Memphis is still significantly higher than other similar size cities. Nashville reports just under 40 homicides so far this year. Memphis has more than 150." www.actionnews5.com/2025/07/28/c...

Wind screen for Curtis Bay. About time. @heymisskeisha.bsky.social www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/cl...

Baltimore City is preventing fatal crashs. In 2025 the city has had 8 fatal crashes, as opposed to MoCo 25, Balt Co 26 and PG Co an astonishing 54. You'd think other counties would start a Complete Streets program. @electryandorsey.bsky.social @jemillerbalt.bsky.social @actfortransit.bsky.social

Getting up to date on the ebike project @fateswarning86.bsky.social After much time, and lots of parts ordering I have launched the wiring project for the Jasion. I've hit lots of road blocks but that has not dissuaded me. So far I have xt60 cables threaded into the controller box, very difficult.

🔥 @bryanandrewsmusic : “you’re not actually pro-life, you’re pro-birth” He said that 🎵 👇🏽

Artscape, Brewfest, Deathfest, Sowebofest, Herbfest, and what was I doing? Putting the finishing touches on this beauty. I suppose I'll be celebrating Cool Summerfest.

In other news, I decided I was no longer going to devote so much time to ice management. I bought one of these contraptions, should free up some room in my freezer.

My worms have a new home. It's very dark in there and the snakes, rats and squirrels won't be able to disturb their work.

@piperformissouri.bsky.social Look Jess, Josh Hawley is now groveling for FEMA funds. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

@fateswarning86.bsky.social I haven't disappeared. Almost all my parts have arrived for the ebike project. I also bought a generic 48V10A Li ion battery from ebay ($111). I am still waiting for two parts and to put a coat of white goo on my roof before it gets too hot. Then I will assemble.

@heymisskeisha.bsky.social 3 more HC-Baltimore Westport properties available for rent this week. All rentals have the Belle Grove address. More of the formerly PA addressed properties have been switched over to Belle Grove. Is ownership changing? See lots and lots of gray paint.

We so have to do something about the Westport vacant man. In this case, correlation is causation. www.baltimorepolice.org/news/media-a...

@piperformissouri.bsky.social Missouri managed to get 3 of its cities on the 25 Most Dangerous Cities List. Republicans are driving the Missouri into the ground. It's time to get concerned. realestate.usnews.com/places/ranki...

@heymisskeisha.bsky.social More HC-Baltimore properties up for rent on Trulia. Some are now listed on SDAT owner address 4084 Belle Grove Road. www.trulia.com/home/2814-ma...

Port of Baltimore is looking a little slim today. 1 car carrier and a bunch of rust buckets in port. May that ILA, who supported Trump, enjoy collecting that unemployment for the week.

@heymisskeisha.bsky.social The address for HC-Baltimore LLC has changed to 150 Carnold Drive, Munhold PA, and it now has this available for rent. www.trulia.com/home/2232-ce...

I made a chart. March 2025 homicides in Baltimore City had fewer homicides compared to previous March's going back to 2016.

Everyone importing and exporting their stuff for one big last hurrah before the tariffs kick in! It was nice while it lasted and say buh bye to all those cars. Baltimore port this morning.

@sundance.bikesky.social I have a quick ebike battery question. One of my ebike batteries is very slightly losing charge over time. If I fully charge it and wait 48 hours, it will need to charge 12 minutes to get back to a full charge. What could be the problem. Thank you for consideration.

@enthusmiasma.bsky.social Walk a mile in my shoes. I just had to write this on Facebook. Oh yeah, there's a video!🫢

Morning zero waste activity. Compost removed from worm bin and placed on outdoor plants. Empty one compost module and add material to worm bin. Fill empty compost module with decaying leaves and new scraps. Solar cooker activated to cook giant butternut squash. Ready for nap.

For my 4B Movement friends, another cool chart has surfaced that is 4B adjacent. This is from the UK. Young men now earn less than young women according to the The Times. www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

There was a road death in Baltimore City this morning where the driver of an oversized pickup truck ruthlessly killed a pedestrian at 3500 Pulaski Highway. I leave no stone unturned. @actfortransit.bsky.social this is how it is done.
