On my Mac Mini I have NetNewsWire pulling Tweets by specific users. Meanwhile, I’ve set my eero to block Twitter on my mobile devices. With NetNewsWire’s iCloud sync, NetNewsWire on mobile devices gets those tweets for me to read. Terrific way to reduce my Twitter use.
Earlier in June: on a trail to Oybin, Saxony, Germany. Saxony has the best sandstone.
Earlier this month: When in Munich, you must ride the catfish?
Before our trip to Germany, I pruned the first big leaves off a sunflower because they were shading out a pepper. Now the sunflower has a flower near each prune cut. Great for attracting bees to our peppers!
6/12: in a forest southwest of Bautzen, Saxony, Germany.
Gray Hairstreak butterfly on one of our pepper plants.
6/14: Minerals under ultraviolet light at the Freiberg Mineral Exhibition.
6/14: Freiberg Mineral Exhibition at Freudenstein Castle. An exquisite collection.
I emergency bought a Ratio 6 coffee maker after my old Ninja broke. Best of all, and I didn’t know about this, @RatioCoffee just refunded the cost ‘cuz I won their drawing 🎉 can’t remember the last time I won anything this good!
June 6 in Munich.
June 6, 2022: the higher regional court building in Munich (Oberlandesgericht München).
Germany trip recap: some 787-9 photos while boarding FRA-DEN. I love it when boarding is at a stand and not a gate.
Our peppers exploded. Best yields ever. Already we roasted some shishitos to go with quesadillas. 🌱
We concluded our trip to Germany. It ended nicely despite the current upheaval of travel. Best unexpected thing to happen was the captain of the United 787-9 we flew on back to the States let me snap photos of the flight deck! Heaven.
Hello my first ever 787 flight! 🛫EDDF🛬KDEN🥳
I’m thrilled with this view of Frankfurt International from my hotel room. Great place to end this trip.
Countryside of Saxony, Germany. Barley fields!
Obligatory photo of surfers at the Eisbachwelle in Munich’s English Garden.
Eurasian Coots in the Pagodenburger See at the Schloss Nymphenburg in Munich.
Gorgeous dragonfly in the backyard today. Lucked out with the lighting.
Been trying to get to Germany to visit very good friends the last three years. Might actually happen this time.🤞
A very comfy Eurasian Collared Dove. Glad our backyard can be a refuge from the neighborhood outdoor cats
So I’ll not fly MSFS 2020 again with it bugging out & turning me straight to the airport at start of my downwind approach despite a properly programmed FMS. 🤬I’ll pay for X-Plane 12 early access (and get a X-Plane 11 license). MSFS is pretty but awful where it matters.
Peppers are on the way! 🌱
A few more photos of the #EdwardFire in Orland, CA today. Fortunately our house was never in danger. Sad that this fire was likely preventable with mere common sense about mowing. A few homes were lost. #EFire
