Sep. 24th, 2022 10:00 pmThe player who has been on has been using http://www.mudportal.com/play?host=weehours.net&port=2000 to play, instead of telnet (or IRC, which doesn't work very well for actually playing). I added that to the web page since Windows doesn't ship with a telnet at all now and Mac hasn't held connections since early versions of OSX and web stuff is just easier. Anyway, that may be of interest to R.
New RV roof, before most of the fiberglass and the trim pieces:
Tried to do a sandwich construction style, with the extra-thick veneer glued on the bottom of the foam pieces, and the fiberglass mostly not glued on on top but still sandwiching (where I joined seams, glue did go through the seam and connect with the foam). Wood cross pieces are also epoxied to the foam. Hoping this is stronger than what was there, which got stove in likely under the weight of Colorado snow.
Used those brake pads a handful of times before they picked up some metal debris and got ruined. Bah.
Hullo.
Water hyacinth is pretty in bloom but very invasive.
Regional cheese habits amuse me. Mozzarella is a delicacy in New York, to be purchased in small quantities, fresh made, preferably on-site, for a lot of money. In California, it's just cheap Moomin meat, manufactured somewhere, and sold by the five pound brick.
Last time I was out.
Accidental soft focus.
Previous visit... Cal-Sailing Club at low tide. If you don't come in in time, you get to drag your boat through the mud.
Don't miss the spam festival!
Someone put my hidden micro-island beach on Google Maps. But at least there are pictures. And since it isn't a secret anymore, we can look at them. And ofc it got named "canis beach".

*run run run dig dig dig run run run swim swim swim*
Such hyper.
Not a lot to report. Mucked with the portlight more, sealing the outer unoccupied channel, hopefully. If I spray water on it tomorrow and it leaks, then I guess I'll order a new one and be grumpy about it. Rode in to Rio Vista today and did laundry and got some groceries. Read the additional reading for class discussion forum and found some additional research to use and read that. Computer was half crashed this morning. OpenBSD really hates USB devices and it really hates WiFi and a WiFi USB device causes all kinds of problems. Switching from the urtwn(4) device to a run(4) device and I'll see if it's any better. I can bridge Ethernet to an AP if I have to. That always winds up eating up a lot of time, rebooting and firing up all of the things I frequently use to do the stuff and things. Then noticed mail wasn't coming in so kicked that, then started looking at hardware nuts online.
(Edit) Oh, also had ordered some much sturdier P-clamps in the correct size to get rid of wobble on the rear rack, and installed those this morning. Much better. I'll probably just continue to run like this. I also ordered hose-clamp-eyelet-dealies but these may actually be sturdier. I'll have at least a spare of each in the toolkit tho. (My re-do of the brazing braze-ons broke off while I was hurling the loaded bike up the stairs of Sacramento's light rail train, and before that, it was a rack that mounts on to the skinny quick-release thru-axle but that made me nervous and to get clean clearance, it's extra wide with tubes jutting back inward which makes it hard to pack... I didn't get the front rack on this bike sorted until I changed out the fork, so adding racks has been a long running project.)
