good eye! my own car is an Outback (2018) and my work car is an Ascent (2022).

I think it's designed for outdoorsy stuff as it also has a firestarter component. but it definitely works well for basic networking stuff too!

lol, yes it is! I got my glasses from there ages ago before I knew there were cheaper options. I like my glasses and need lens cleaning cloths all the time, so it works.

nice idea, there - i might go that route because it is fairly rare for rain around here. i already have front and rear lights, a bottle cage and an oversized holder, and a phone holder so we're in business there!

Thanks! I do have a decent set of lights which are USB chargeable, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a dynamo as well. Thanks for the suggestions!

I am a coffee addict, and I need a bottle holder that can hold my thermos, lol! But yeah, it's also nice for a quick grab.

DIY book scanner project part 6, "Distribution", might have a few leads on how to do this. https://annas-blog.org/blog-how-to-become-a-pirate-archivist.html

To answer my own question, a couple things. Today my wife and I mounted two cat shelves to give our boys a way to get to a high and inaccessible place - my wife got a couple of carpet squares from her workplace and glued them onto two shelves, which we mounted today.

i also recently built a really basic compost bin. baby steps, right?

i think it's a Trek 950. it's a 90s Trek mountain bike anyway. it's been pretty cold so i haven't done anything to it yet really, and that includes looking at it closely, ha!

finally finished my compost bin - just three pallets in a U shape, but it worked! added PiHole and Unbound DNS to my home server setup to keep ads and other nonsense as out of our lives as possible. more to come!

just wanted to update that i've added PiHole and Unbound DNS to my running stuff. thinking about doing a Wireguard VPN now... but that's a 2024 project now.

good night and happy new year!
