I've been wondering if something in the phone's camera system is visible or audible to bugs and birds. Like I can move around, get closer, but as soon as the camera app is opened that seems to spook them most of the time.
Just me?

From someone's strava ride in the backwoods of Vermont. I think it's just a woodpile?

Beautiful morning for a mt bike ride after overnight rain, which brought out a lot of Red Efts with birds in full song.

@TimKStanton Dark clouds were looming then it turned to blue skies and perfect temps. Roots were pretty damn slippery though ... whee!! “:^)

Yay, a new Engineerguy (Bill Hammack) video! I love his stuff. And this one’s about duct tape! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-F2QQuZZGk

@todbot The rolling ball test is good, simple and effective.

Based on the streaming ads I’m getting, other people’s clothes must really stink.

(3 separate brands of “laundry fragrance”. Really?)

8 miles of new (to me) slippery trails in the bag. Part urban, part rural with two crossings of the motorway and a trip through IKEAs car park. I would have popped in to buy some “senap och dill sås” but I didn’t have time for another 8 miles round the store😂

A concrete spiral pathway leads up to the M4 motorway providing a pedestrian crossing over the 8 lanes. In the distance another spiral brings the path back down on the far side of the road. The structure is functional but ugly, accentuated by the grey evening sky and light rain. Only the surrounding green vegetation provides any softness to the scene.

@officehippy interesting scenery along the way!

@officehippy if one could get to the top it would be a fine, solid, high place for a telescope. 😉

@officehippy A dovecote! I'd never heard of that, but seems such an unlikely ending. Then again, it did the job: got the bride and 11 children.

Oh hello my precious .... how are you after .... 4 years????

I got to the lab today , colleague --- mounted the large robot arm for me and cleared the shop for my use. Whew a lot to remember since the last time I used this.

I got networking to work, and was like, "success for today, bail."

Next --- funny shop safety sign.

A long time ago I made a little pond in our back yard. Ostensibly for the indoor fish (Koi, Comets) to spend Summer outside, but then the scope (and pond) got bigger. Waterfall, rocks for frogs to sunbathe, and deep sections so fish could survive Winter. May 19, 2004 I got the idea to add local fauna to the pond in the form of a couple scoops of plants and bugs from a nearby vernal pool (i.e. roadside ditch). Enjoying water bugs and tadpoles noodling around I spotted a small clump of sticks ... moving.
Posted about it on my blog and a reader ID’d it as a Caddisfly Larva.
Flash forward to yesterday, checking out the frogs in our messy little pond, when a bundle of sticks walked by underwater.

Here's a photo of the caddisfly larva from 2004. Also some photos of the pond from its initial expansion to when the plants really started taking off. Years later the liner got a slow leak. It's one of those things where I don't want to dismantle the whole thing to fix it when it's full of tadpoles, but at the end of the season it's too cold.

Monday morning trail run had an unexpected "private land" sign half mile down one of the trails. Never fear, I've been practicing bushwhacking for years!

Dropped my nephew at the airport last night, good visit. Up and over Pacifico mountain today to Fountainhead spring and back.

Saw over 30 thru hikers, the peak of the bubble is passing now.

Today’s quick 3d print of a “pill placer" for our old dog. Big enough for the capsules he has to take 3x a day and hopefully more accurate and less intrusive than my fingers, with less chance of a munched finger.

Wife wanted the ability to take unit apart for cleaning, which first design wasn't well suited for. This one is just two parts, super easy to print and assemble. I need to make the ring a bit bigger and then I'll post it to Printables.

Update on the mushrooms from last week: they aren’t messing around!

Underside closeup, they seem to be sweating or oozing
