Great halftime show! We didn't bother with the second half of the game, though. First half was too boring. Left the party to try to salvage bedtime.

What a boring first quarter.

This week's bean dish: Creamy Rio Zape dip from @ranchogordo.bsky.social. #beansky cagrimmett.com/2026/02/08/c...

lol, Screen Time notification looks buggy this week. I was very concerned that I somehow spent an average of 6 hours a day on my phone, but there is no way I spent: - 8 hours on DuckDuckGo search - 6 hours on Wikipedia - 4 hours on RanchoGordo.com - 4 hours on IMDB

The thermometer on the weather station out back read -4F when we got up this morning. The insulation work we did the last two years has been a huge help this winter, but it looks like the low single digits are about the limit, and our high efficiency gas boiler is struggling to keep up.

Claude task of the day: Looking for a new vehicle and wanted a nice way to compare a bunch of different SUVs on one page. Spit it out as HTML and uploaded it to my server to share with my wife. cagrimmett.com/2026_SUV_Com...

I used to wear a trench coat in the winter 15 years ago, but I stopped because some guy who looked like Dom Lombardozzi driving a Surburban in NYC yelled "Hey ya bologna smuggla!" out his window at me.

For the first time in a decade, I switched email apps. I’ve been a longtime Airmail user, but I moved to Spark for both macOS and iOS. cagrimmett.com/2026/02/06/u...

I'm thinking of getting a kit to put together my own mechanical watch. Has anyone done this? Send me your recommendations!

I used my UV light from fly tying to cure windshield repair resin!

You're absolutely right – this actually *isn't* a place of honor. * I thought esteemed deeds were commemorated here, but that was wrong. * The message wasn't about treasure, it was about danger. That's on me. * I won't sugarcoat it – the danger is still present, and now it's in your body.

We are reading The Hobbit to Charlie tonight, and it struck me that the Cat in the Hat may have been partially based on Gandalf the Grey.

After picking Charlie up from school yesterday, we went on a drive to photograph the ice floes on the Hudson River. cagrimmett.com/2026/02/03/h...

When Claude hallucinates

With temperatures in the single digits and sixteen inches of snow blanketing the world outside, my thoughts turn to spring. cagrimmett.com/2026/01/29/t...

A decent proxy for how well a town is managed is what the roads look like 48 hours after a snow storm, compared to the other towns in the area. This morning, Peekskill's roads are wet and covered in slush, while the roads in Cortlandt, Garrison, and Cold Spring are bone-dry.

Keep showing up. We’re all we’ve got.

Blizzard update: 9in here in Peekskill so far and we have 14 more hours of snow forecasted. This deck was empty yesterday.

Charlie is an old soul. When we came back inside from the first round of shoveling, he took his hot chocolate over to the window to watch the birds at the feeder.

My dinner plan for the huge snow storm tomorrow: Chrismas Lima bean, sausage, and fennel soup. #beansky

As part of my goal for this year to get back into photography, I charged my SLR’s batteries and went on a photo walk in the woods after a big snow. I gave myself the theme of “cozy places” that small woodland creatures might hole up during the storm. cagrimmett.com/2026/01/22/c...

I made hot sauce with habaneros from our garden this weekend. cagrimmett.com/2026/01/20/h...

I'm trying to up my bean game this year by making a bean dish each week. #beansky Week 1: Black eyed peas, wild rice, and chicken soup. Week 2: Cauliflower with cassoulet beans and capers. Week 3: Cassoulet bean gratin. Week 4(ish, a day early): Chili with vaquero beans. On deck: Mujadara.
