I don’t need a MacBook Air but for $699… www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLJ4… I travel sometimes.

Signed up for my first 5K.

I’m tired.

Heating up rotors because of rust, but this is like a 30 minute job if not for all of this rust.

Before work this morning, I changed my rear pads and rotors on the truck. It’s a 30 minute job but 90 minutes of time was added because I had to get the rusted rotor off the hub. I’m going to start the other side on my lunch break and hope that rotor just comes off easily.

I want YouTube Ad-Free so I can watch clips of people falling over without being interrupted by ads. That’s 90% of my YouTube viewing and it’s on an AppleTV in 4K. Occasionally, I’ll watch a motorcycle riding video.

“YouTube Premium Lite is aimed at people who want to consume podcasting, make-up, gaming streams, tutorials, and other core creator content on YouTube that is distinguishable from music.” Those 4 content types feel so narrow. Is that really the majority of YouTube content outside of …

Baseball is back!

I started using Kagi.com search in November and decided to go with Professional at $108 a year or $9 a month. I’ve averaged 850 searches every month since then. I’m glad I didn’t go with the $5 a month plan. I’m averaging 25 searches a day. That’s a lot!

Found this old photo of my MacBook Air in 2011. I really miss this design.

I finally blogged about my dental experience that has me at risk for having a collections record on my credit report due to their incompetence. adamchandler.me/blog/2025… sigh. I’m just going to have to pay this I guess?

Photos are up from the weekend in Helvetia WV www.flickr.com/photos/ad…

444 photos taken this weekend. Keeping 128 of them. Really happy with how these turned out.

Saying goodbye to my rented room above the post office/restaurant/general store / cafe.

Avoid Silica Road in Helvetia WV unless you’re in a Jeep or dirt bike. Had fun though. Hill descent control was necessary.

I love coming across old websites www.ammnebrigade.com There’s a button to take you back to the top of the page at the bottom with #top. :)

Hello from Helvetia, WV.

And we’re off! Country Roads….

I’m really bummed that these Sigma BF photos are so good. Not all are winners over what I’d probably produce with the Leica but it is grabbing enough detail with the 35mm f/2 that I’m still sold www.dpreview.com/sample-ga…

Tomorrow, West Virginia for Fasnacht Four Weeks Later, EDM Rave for 3 days in Miami June, Tennessee Mountains for dirt bike rally June, Lebanon TN for BMW Rally June, SF for a Red Sox Giants Game June, Denver for an off road event in Breckenridge Looks like April and May will be quiet though.

It’s happening!!!

Obviously not producing much since it’s cloudy but this is nice to see again.

Finally making solar again after 2 months without any production. Of course that meant getting onto the roof and pulling 18" of snow down by hand and nearly being killed but making 5 cents an hour of solar was totally worth it!

Not great planning on my part. My wife has her 40,000 mile service being done today on her Volkswagen…I booked my RAM’s state inspection today down the road. So after dropping off baby at daycare, I had to bicycle back from my shop and we have no cars and just a bicycle now.

Somehow the count is now higher? Why does a wait time increase?
