Something awesome about Bluesky: 1. I see a post I'd like to load in my agent. 2. "wouldn't it be nice if I could give it the atproto link?" 3. Wait, markdown would be better, let's try renaming the domain to
bsky.md
on the off-chance… 4. It works 🤯

The drill bit version of tire repair tools is 100x easier than the T handled version. If you ever plan to plug your own tires, get some. $13 at AutoZone.

Today during our Trout in the Classroom macroinvertebrate sampling we had something very cool happen. Dozens of tiny BWOs emerged right in our sample bins! It was great to be able to show the students this happening in realtime.

Charlie loves playing with our friends' cat, and they invited us over for dinner tomorrow, so I took a break from tying striped bass flies to tie a hookless cat toy on a swivel clip. I call it "Maisie's Deceiver."

Video tip: If you need portrait orientation/9:16 phone video, choose New > App Preview in iMovie. I'm glad that works, but it is wild that we need to use workarounds in Apple's pre-installed video editing app to edit videos from iPhones in their standard orientation.

My TU contact said this stream was on the list for eDNA testing to find brook trout presence, but my photo confirmation allows them to skip that and move to the next step in the conservation process! 🎉

Today I caught a beautiful wild brook trout today in Westchester County, just five miles from my house. I'd heard whispers that this small stream contained brook trout, and I was delighted to catch one on my first outing there.

I used to want digital, internet-connected everything. Now I want: - A pomodoro timer that actually looks like a tomato and has zero chips or digital displays. - A wind up mechanical watch. - A dryer without internet connection. - No voice assistants in the house.

I put in a reverse osmosis water filter system under the sink today. Took about 90 minutes, which included collecting my tools, drilling a hole, and following the instructions. I picked the iSpring RCC7AK. Working nicely so far and we can taste the difference in a side-by-side comparison.

Following my post containing the scans of Cecil Heacox’s 1969 Charmed Circle of the Catskills articles, Ed Ostapczuk emailed that Heacox did a follow up in the May 1972 edition of Outdoor Life on Catskill Flytyers. Naturally, I had to track that one down, too.

One low-key long-term project I have is trying different variations of the Kingston Negroni to find the best combination of rum + bitter amaro + sweet vermouth. Tonight's version of OFTD + Aperol + Carpano Antico is the best so far, easily topping the 8 previous iterations.

I noticed that Outdoor Life republished the March 1969 Cecil Heacox Charmed Circle articles online today. I can't help but think my tracking the article down last month and sharing it widely prompted them to republish it. Who knows.

How long until we only leave our internet plugged in when we need to use it, and disconnect it the rest of the time? I've been slowly dismantling the Internet of Things devices we rely on, but as AI models like Mythos come out, it makes me want to disconnect most things most of the time.
