AT&T keeps sending me offers so that I will return to them. Yeah, no. Being an AT&T stockholder is punishment enough for me these days.

Critters sure make it hard to enjoy gardening/farming. Last night during a break in the rain (WLF caught 1.5″) I saw that something tried to gnaw into the only Georgia Candy Roaster Squash of decent size. It doesn’t appear that the critter successfully got to the flesh, so when it’s ripe I will eat it immediately, after investigating the area with the bite marks first.

According to my self-kept statistics, it’s been seven months since I scored my last Wordle deuce.

I’ve booked travel to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada! While I certainly don’t condone, nor enjoy, paying for seat selection, I have done just that. I paid $57 per flight for the “privilege” of seat selection, extra legroom, and a “complimentary” alcoholic beverage.

You will either have to see me in person, or find out after the trip, for when and how long I will be away.

Here are some constants for the summer of 2025:
– rainstorms break up before reaching East Atlanta, therefore not providing enough water for Wee Little Farm
– the Atlanta United can’t win a soccer match
– Werder Bremen will once again not win the DFB Pokal, after losing their first round match and getting knocked out of the tournament

Yesterday I took a half pound of mixed hot peppers and made a small bottle of hot sauce from them. Essentially I cut the peppers and blitzed them with salt and vinegar in a mixer before straining the mixture into a jar.

Thought the rain would slow down the riders last night. Nope, and I fell off the back for the final quarter of the ride.

While driving this weekend I listened to Pat Benatar’s “Crimes of Passion” album. It was then I realized that this album was released 45 years ago, which also meant that come this November it will be 45 years since I went to my first concert. Yowza.

Jenka, how was your Friday?

Three days in South Carolina; two failed days of bike riding, one in Clemson and one in Anderson, sandwiching one really good day at a mushroom cultivation workshop in Easley.

My mysterious deep hip pain returned this weekend. It had gone away for about a year.

Not much to report other than what I mentioned I did yesterday – found RoadID, put away camping gear, cleaned my road bicycle, and sowed some seeds for Fall.

It looked as if there were plenty of seats available for last night’s meaningless Atlanta United Leagues Cup game.

More of the same today. Also, hoping to make some shishito pepper salsa today.
