Don't got much to show, but I do have an update to a project

Finally sowed the western white pine seeds, hopefully one of them sprout next month. I'll be the first to admit, the timing is unusual, but I figured it should be fine since the only season I get down here is eternal summer.

There's a lot of reasons that motivated the switch, but Microsoft is probably the main reason. So I'm pretty determined to stick with Linux, because the alternative is Windows 11.

It's primarily just been niche modding tools causing me the most pain, or some feature to a software just being completely borked, unfortunately.

FreakinGroovy @freakingroovy.bsky.social · Aug 23

To be honest, the adjustment period switching from windows to Linux has been a massive pain, but I'm hoping this is just an investment for the future.

Finding alternatives to Windows exclusive tools and software is a chore.

After the US entered the war in 1941, Watson Lake Airport became a military facility under US control, serving as an important refuelling stop for American fighter aircraft bound for Alaska. Further improvements were made to the airport, including the construction of the control tower on the side of the Air Terminal Building, and a military hangar. Barracks, staff housing, mess halls, apartments and storage facilities were constructed nearby, but have since been demolished.
In June 1944, under the terms of its agreement with the US, the RCAF took over control of the airport. In 1957, control was transferred to the Canadian Department of Transport, and in October 1996, responsibility for the Watson Lake Airport was transferred to the Yukon Government.
The Alaska Highway was routed to link these airports and smaller landing strips of the Northwest Staging Route, providing logistical support for the operations and crews at the airports. The airports, in turn, supplied the highway construction crews with personnel and supplies. Post war, the Watson Lake Airport served the mining industry. Since 1988, however, the airport has almost exclusively been used for private and charter flights.

Impossible to beat the best photo I’ve seen of the control tower…
