Came across a bad joke: What do you get when you cross Cookie Monster with Cthulhu?
I’m generally against AI-generated images, but I needed to visualize it:

Wife has been using the 3D printer at the makerspace a lot. Finally broke down and got one for home.
Meet my Hippo of Disapproval.
Its role will be to sit on my desk and unsuccessfully prod me into being productive.

Pre-alpha public release of Kitten Space Agency!!!
I played a bit of KSP and was disappointed by KSP 2.
KSA is looking GREAT after very little time, and the devs seem to have their hearts in absolutely the right place — I’ll be making a contribution to support them!

Well, at least it’s better than very similar graphics, but where the cogs are closer together and therefore completely locked up and unable to turn.

Beautiful day out so went on a mini-hike post-call and combined it with logging my first geocache in a year or two.
Should get back into geocaching, if only as an excuse to explore cool places I would not have thought of to go to otherwise.

Drove to a local airfield which has a well-regarded breakfast / lunch restaurant.
The French toast was out of this world.
Have done touch-and-goes there and used it for a XC checkpoint, but never “been” there.
Someday I hope to spend $400 to fly there to get the same food.
