Our volunteer conifers seem happy. First year they’ve developed cones‽ 🌱🌲
Used to be ddclient for dynamic DNS updates required
web-skip=’IP Address:’when checking the web for the WAN IP. But uh, seems like that’s been breaking my ddclient updates for a while now. Troubleshooting showed that removing web-skip in ddclient.conf fixes the problem.

06:54 AM and was 82°F & rising in the backyard here in Orland, CA. Amazing.

Got a proposal back from a contractor. It includes a ducted mini split which is a new concept to me and they are awfully tempting. Seems to be better in almost every way than than a classic American-style central heat pump system.
Pacific Gas & Electric SmartDay today and I bet tomorrow, too. Between 1600-2100, we’ll be setting our A/C to “away” and being more mindful of our general electrical use. For the greater good!
For the next week, ~record hot temperatures! Once again, time to protect our Hosui Asian Pear’s central leader with shade cloth. I had to lash an old pruned apricot branch to the tree stake for height for the shade cloth. The tree put on several inches in the last week! 🌱
Had a standoff tonight. White had just rolled the double sixes.
