My kid asked Google to play the theme song to the cartoon, Johnny Test. Somehow, YouTube Music turned it into a decent playlist.

Winter finally arrived in Kansas. We got 8" of snow Friday night and Saturday. I took the Christmas lights off my bike and put on the studded tire wheelset. I also put on a new chain. #Surly #Skidloader #CommuteByBike #WinterCycling

Our local TV station changed the push notification alert sound for their weather app (didn't know they could do that!). Needless to say, I hate it. And I deleted the app.

I'm dialing in grilling spatchcocked chicken on the Weber kettle grill. We'll get three meals and chicken stock out of this bad boy. Chicken enchiladas tomorrow!

The bike is all finished! forgot to mention we put on new pedals, grips, and saddle too. I really like the colorway. I would have never guessed purple, red, and yellow would look so good together.

I'm making progress on a Christmas break project - rebuilding my kid's "new" 90s mountain bike. I greased the bottom bracket and headset, installed a new 1x crankset, and installed Maxxis Holy Roller tires. I'll finish tomorrow in time for us to ride & see X-mas lights tomorrow night. #Cycling #MTB

This is the top comment for that song. I too love Radiohead. Few other bands take their creativity to this level.

It is officially studded tire season with our first forecast of measurable snowfall tomorrow. I busted out my winter wheelset with Ice Spiker Pros, added new sealant, and replaced a couple studs. The Surly Skid Loader is ready for some slick stuff. #CommuteByBike #WinterCycling #Cycling

Every mention of Beri Weiss in the news makes me think of this beer first, and I want to keep it that way. It's not a great beer, but it's better than the news. #BeriWeiss #BerryWeiss #Leinenkugels

The r/soil subreddit has a crazy number of posts of people using a jar test to determine what their soil texture is. I wonder why laypeople go with that test instead of just doing texture by feel. It's not difficult. I don't get it.

We held our first #Agron635 Soil & Water Conservation lab field trip today. The students measured ground cover and slope. They will be developing a conservation plan for this farm. I spotted a wolf spider carrying an egg sack in freshly cut hay and a velvet ant as I was hiking between the groups
