And at least the victims learn to giggle, for at least they aren’t bored.

I realize that’s the best reason to take advantage of the library’s subscription to the New York Times. For a good laugh as all things go to shit. And I’m not talking about that tangy smell in air as fields get ready for another growing season of hay and silage, ultimately to become Greek yogurt, ice cream and milk.

Riding to work again today, much cooler today but whatever. It’s mid March and the heat remains off so I’m good. I ordered the replacement shifter lever but I good with the high range only for now until I start riding trail again. I do need to think about truing those wheels up. I don’t have a truing table, though maybe that’s a good investment as it’s so dang expensive to go to local bike shop, plus I hate how woke the whole cycling industry is.

Yesterday was the Save the Pine Bush meeting over Zoom, which I participated in from Noonan Preserve on my evening commute home. By the time the meeting was done, it was getting dark out and I made up some onion-Ccrnmeal pancakes with lots of spinach and the remaining beans I had cooked last week. This morning it was onions, spinach, eggs and mushrooms with a big of cornmeal mixed in. Good stuff.

I finished the audio book I was listening to about LEED certification and Green Building and now I’m reading a book about Building Science. Truth is I want to become at least book smart about homebuilding and all the latest greenie technology out there, even if I don’t incorporate it into my homestead when I build it. Truth is I don’t think I have much interest in the somewhat silly LEED point system, some of the choices the system makes is pretty arbitrary but it’s good to know what’s out there. I  am also reading a book about Forest Management, which is another important topic if I plan to heat with wood and have lots of fires when I own land – and not just to burn debris.
