Saw “Weapons” in theaters while in Boston. It was pretty good.
Back home. Work tomorrow. Grabbed some beer at treehouse on the way home though.
Teaching a class in Boston this weekend.
14 YouTube videos queued up through mid-September. Happy with all of the great content I’ve been able to put together among all of the work and personal things I’m busy with. Really hoping to make a video about the house remodeling and other projects.
Great weekend in Canada. Back at work.
It’s nice to be back in Canada. Once every 6 months is not often enough. I spent 35 days in Canada last year. Only doing like 10 this year. Great people, great food, lovely scenery.
Going to get up early and ride trails into Canada. Dirt bike is so close to done. I’m taking the Husky 701 instead since I need luggage.
Setting suspension preload and chain sag. So close to done!
This error message from Photos for Mac makes no sense.
Auto clutch is installed as well as skid plate. Just a few remaining parts in transit!
Beer tasting night. Lots of magnum (1.5L) bottles
Truck inspection today. Final one for a while since state inspections are no longer required in New Hampshire after 1/1/2026. It should go fine but I’m worried front brake pads need attention which I’ll do myself.
FRIDAY!
Test ride complete. But I had to order another $350 in parts (sigh) this project will end one day.
So close to done!
Here’s RAM usage with LLama 3.3 70b loaded. Still not hitting swap and a little bit of ceiling left.
Here’s OpenAI’s GPT-OSS-20B’s RAM usage at load. Not bad and barely noticeable on my M1 Max with 64GB of RAM in LM Studio.
Enjoying my last 24 hours playing with LM Studio. I am hoping to cancel my $20 a month to OpenAI for ChatGPT Premium by running an LLM locally and also being a bit more secure. We’ll see. OpenAI’s GPT-oss-20b uses 12GB of RAM. Let’s try Llama 3.3 70b :P
Lightroom, Final Cut and Photoshop are finally showing signs of slowing. I haven’t upgraded to MacOS26 but these apps are getting sluggish with wait beach balls. I’ll probably do a full OS reinstall to freshen things up but I really hope we get an M5 MacBook Pro this fall. I’m …
When buying low-volume stuff, it’s probably best to research where the parts are sourced from. Italian manufacturer and nor-cal is where their distro center is so everything takes 6 days from order to arrival. Suspension took 12 days + 11 for rebuild due to shipping each way.
I’m hoping this 2 month saga is coming to an end as my new dirt bike suspension arrives today and I can finally get this thing off the stand and take it outside to wash and wax. It’s been sitting in my basement on a stand since June.
I’m probably getting old but unless I buy a device with the 2026 Apple operating system releases, I’m going to be a 26.1 updater. I just don’t have the patience to deal with all of these changes in their unrefined state.
Sunday.
