Put the ale into secondary fermentation this morning and my sample is at 5% ABV! 🍺 🙌

Good news. The X Raw Studio config files (~/Library/App Support/com.fujifilm.denji) for the Fujifilm X-T5 are exactly the same as for the X100V. Only a few strings like model, serial #, and IOP (what?) are different. So it’ll be easy bringing over my film sim recipes to the X-T5.

Here’s me on the Snyder Creek trail gazing at the talus field, but still wanting to be out of there (rockfall is the reason for this talus). This is pretty near the end of the trail where there’s a camping area and a paternoster(?) lake, Snyder Lake.

Back in September we visited Glacier National Park. We didn't take the Going to the Sun Road, but opted for the lesser traveled Snyder Creek trail. Here's a couple of fuzzy caterpillars taken with a Fujifilm X100V.

Been over a week since putting in 1 Gbps powerline adapters and it’s perfectly fine for basic Mac Mini server duty (HomeBridge, file server), Sonos, Apple TV, RaspberryShake, and teleworking.

I’ve snagged a Fujifilm X-T5 — it’ll be delivered Tuesday. I haven’t had a camera with interchangeable lens system in over a decade! I’m so excited. I ordered the 55 mm kit. Seems for a kit lens, it is unusually highly regarded.

I’m apparently harvesting Mastodon accounts tonight.

I’ve had good success with an old 200 Mbps powerline adapter, so I’ve finally splurged on a gigabit adapter plus an 8 port switch. A few weeks I’ll know if this is worth avoiding running LAN cables for decidedly non-mission critical stuff like Apple TV, Sonos, & RaspberryShake.

Had my gas & electric company switch our home from gas heat to electric heat service (we now have a heat pump). The main impact is we now get 10kWh added to the cheaper tier 1 electricity allotment for a total of 21kWh a day during heating season.

Phat Tyre Ale is now fermenting. A couple of mistakes were made but nothing critical (probably). It’s getting easier and less stressful every time as I refine my protocols. Original gravity at 1.048-1.050. Close to the documented 1.052!
