Went to shoot pool with a friend tonight. I was playing solids in this one.

Apparently my applied geometry needs work.

I got to get going now but this is as far as I've gotten on the doodly summer lake drawing

Never mind the ugly website: if you're a programmer tasked with making diagrams, PlantUML is your buddy. You can describe them in editor- and VSC-friendly plaintext like:

```
@startuml
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response

Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
@enduml
```

and let the app render them to a PNG for you.

I had the pleasure of being able to see part of Michigan Central Station recently.

project update: I'm stalled. I bought motors and ESCs and you have to solder them together or put connectors on them.

The chassis I have been is space limited. If I solder the motors & ESCs together I can't replace a broken quadcopter arm without desoldering. So connectors would be better, but the ESCs have some kind of square tab that I have to figure out how to attach a connector to.

Plus I have never soldered before. That's probably the real reason for the stall.

Today is Field Day, an emergency preparedness exercise for amateur radio operators! The goal: set up a temporary station, and then make as many contacts as possible over 24 hours.

arrl.org/Field-Day/

Check the Field Day Locator to find a station near you. Many stations are set up like an "open house" and welcome visitors.

If you make contact with K2HAX, let them know that Rey said hello :)

RT @MedievalPete@twitter.com: Someone on Reddit has photoshopped art ladies into a modern office and it's just excellent.

Mme Sherri's Natural Forest, in Chesterfield NH. Wife and I went there this past weekend.

It's a relatively small place, but very beautiful and contains the stone remnants of a socialite's home from the 1920s & 30s. It's affectionately known as the ruins of a "castle", but I wouldn't go that far.

if you ever find yourself upset with the "current generation's" slang of saying "feels" or "mood" too much just remember the 19th century had this
