Had breakfast with this little dude at the University of Minnesota this morning. I had forgotten how nice it was to travel with a little gh5 with an even tinier 42.5mm lens. My back is thanking me for not carrying the a7 and the heavy Zeiss glass.

Sorry for the slow reply, challenging week here. Garlic Naan: 2 tsp active dry yeast 1 tsp sugar 1/2 cup lukewarm water 1 large egg 1/3 cup avocado oil 1/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (I often do 50/50 w/ bread flour) 1 tsp salt Naan Prep: Combine yeast, sugar, and water. Stir, let rest for until bubbly ~ 5 minutes. Add egg, oil, yogurt to yeast mixture and mix until combined. Combine salt and flour in a large bowl (stand mixer). Add liquid ingredients and mix/knead for 4-5 minutes until a smooth dough ball forms. Grease bowl to prevent sticking, cover and let rest/rise for min 1 hr or until doubled in size. On a floured surface, roll into rough log shape and divide into even pieces. Shape into balls, cover, and on let rest for 20 minutes on a flour dusted cutting board/sheet pan/whatever. Roll into flattened discs, 8” in diameter and roughly 1/8” thick. Cook on a lightly oiled, hot skillet or flat top grill. ~60 seconds each side w/ care taken not to burn. That all was extracted from this - .

Foraged some wild asparagus from across the street

^ Cool Canon J20x Super box lens on that Sony. And yes, I've previously had sex with women.

Matt Elliott, Only Myocardial Infarction Can Break Your Heart https://mattelliott.bandcamp.com/album/only-myocardial-infarction-can-break-your-heart LOL that title. But the music is typically beautiful, very much in line with most everything he's done since Drinking Songs -- fundamentally rooted on acoustic guitar and his voice.

Some music nerd requested a box for his violin strings. So two wood nerds set out building such a thing. We had some figured Cherry and some Walnut, so... Now I just need that music nerd from Austin to look at his messages and give me an address to send this package to.

Did this. Because: as One / AI (with prompting, might say)

RIP Marcia Lucas. Not only did she put up with being married to George Lucas, she took the steaming pile that was his ideas and turned it into A New Hope. George Lucas is the definitive example that it is better to be lucky than talented. At every turn, he blundered into meeting people with abilities far beyond his own who could elevate his murky and misconceived visions into cultural touchstones. Peter Crushing was the absolute master class at portraying a bad guy. Sir Alec Guinness could inflect the most hokey dialogue imaginable in a way that resonated with like six different generations. James Earl Jones had the voice of all time. Irvin Kershner was a deftly skilled directory with decades of experience. Unlike George, Lawrence Kasdan actually was an accomplished screenwriter. Also Carrie Fisher was lighting in a bottle. I'm sorry, this is about about George's ex-wife, not The Neck himself.
