Had an opportunity to practice lock picking under pressure today. Got my partner's office door open before their next meeting.

Once again reminded that Network Solutions has no obvious way to enable DNSSEC for a domain and that domains with expirations >10 years in the future can't be transferred. Only 1 more year before I can change registrars.

Feeling more engineering manager than SWE lately. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Wow. Still shrink wrapped

With Jay's help, tilted back Big Chippin's chute to get access to the cutter head and chip breaker. Pretty sure that chute is made out of 1/8" steel and weighs 300+lbs. It was a struggle.

In love with this template.

Something has gone awry with this 1/4" mandrel. That it occurred with a hand drill tells you how my wrist feels right now.

Kids helped frame out the gables today. Only required one trip to town for lumber, screws, and root beer floats.

First attempt at spring rolls turned out ok.

Major blackberry removal today. All the fresh dirt in the photo had 4' tall blackberries. 60" brush mower and loader with tooth bar made all that a 4h job.

Oops. We accidentally discovered a vulnerability in NXP LPC55 microcontrollers. https://oxide.computer/blog/lpc55/

Made test rafters for the playhouse today. Tried 6/12 and 9/12 pitches. Thinking 9/12 looks better.

I hear scurrying in my ceiling.

Rain let up early this morning so today was a perfect day to grade a site for the playhouse and lay a foundation.

Lab storage is a little bit more organized.

Building a playhouse with the kids. Might unintentionally be building a tiny house instead.
