Gorgeous day on the Brooklyn Bridge. Walked from Penn Station to Atlantic Terminal. Knishes, Lotus Seed Paste Cake, Ruebins, and Cheese Cake were devoured along the way.
JFK, New York. Scene from last night: a traffic jam in the hourly garage. Was treated to a horn serenade near midnight. Was kinda funny though the pay booth operator was clearly having a bad night w/ technical difficulties.
Snow Mountain and St. John mountain are looking pretty good after yesterday’s rain.
The audio sync feature on Apple’s tvOS 13 is 👌 Also, here’s a🌈 🌈
My almost 2 year old plum is so fickle. It’s senescing early. After digging into the soil, I think it is water deprived. So trying adding 1 gallon per hour emitter as 0.5 gallon per hour emitters are not delivering nearly enough water. I’m also annoyed at the borer bugs.
Urban prescribed fire 🔥. Provides volunteer fire department training and reduces city blight & fine fuels in vacant lots.

Bye bye Nest Thermostat Gen 1. Hello ecobee3 lite! I revised the Nest’s fancy screws to avoid drywall anchors — critical as the drywall is backed by 2x4s. Super easy install with the common wire I enabled last weekend.
Almond harvest season.
Can’t wait to replace the 1st gen Nest Thermostat with this Ecobee3 Lite. A Friday project.

Preparing to move away from Nest (Google) to Ecobee this week. Just used a spare thermostat wire and C terminal on HVAC mainboard to create a common wire. Minimizes fussing with wires at the mainboard and no PEK for me!
