This weekend is Fairfield's tomato festival! Sadly, the great tomato fight is no more, but there's still plenty to do and eat. I had fried green tomatoes here for the first time. I don't remember how long ago. But they were delicious.

Saturday from 3 to 5 is the band Dirty Cello. I'd go just to hear them even if it wasn't a food festival (I fucking love food festivals), partly because I've seen them before and they're fun, partly because I want to talk with the band again. Unfortunately I'm double booked tomorrow, so unless I can somehow convince game night to move Gloomhaven to the festival, I'm probably going Sunday.

Apologies for the late notice, it's been a year.

So every once in a while I forget to bring my cane when I go out on my bike.

I bought a cane to keep on my bike today. Now I won't forget a cane when I'm going out for brunch or whatever and haven't had my coffee yet.

It's dark blue.

Okay I know weird question but i just finished wroting something short and important to me and i'd like it to feel good when you read it. Like, in a tactile way as well as an emotional way.

i used to use hammermill something something I forget, my soccer coach would order it (she was also the office manager at the firm but like, she coached my soccer team when i was 8 i still called her Coach) whenever we ran out. Today i opened the bag? sack? whatever of emergency hammermill in my closet and it only felt marginally better than the crazy vaclav's paper of discounts we been getting. I think i bought the wrong emergency fancy paper, or someone played a prank on me.

So I'm thinking about upgrading my bike, and the first thing that comes to mind is the battery. Let's say I find/build a good battery case, grab an appropriately specced prismatic battery, wire it into the bms and secure it in the case. Attach it to the battery mount/plug and pop in a lock if it doesn't already have one. Is it feasible to build my own ebike battery?

I want it waterproof so I worry I'd need to engineer some kind of cooling system. Aside from that and temperature expansion, am I missing something?

Emphasis on the word tried

My recipe was: take two cups of delicious delicious fruit, put them in a blender until they are not fruit, then put them in the freezer and stir every half hour until it is fruit flavored ice crystals.

I forgot you have to add water to get ice crystals to form properly. I'm going to melt my delicious ball of berry slurry ice and try again tomorrow.

I'm going to Evangelines, my favorite costume shop. They had a fire, now they're reopening. They have HALF AN HOUR to prepare for me.

if anyone was worried about the flowers yesterday, both kitties are doing well and behaving normal. Thanks @I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world for helping me out.

I have always (well okay, since I saw it) loved this photograph. Especially the look on his face.

Shit i gotta go get some rice.

If I understand correctly, and there's a pretty good chance I don't, this was the first photograph that didn't have the subject standing solemnly.
