While working on the plumbing in my home yesterday, I found that the contractors who installed most of it had the waterline to my toilet so loosely tightened that I could turn it with my little finger. It was barely connected. I'm amazed that there wasn't a leak.
I keep imagining what would have happened if I had bumped it while vacuum cleaning... yikes.
Getting closer and closer to my #TinyNES being shipped to me! I hope either Final Fantasy or Super Mario Bros. 2 is my included bonus game, but I'll be happy for anything.
I have discovered that I cannot do many physical exercises while watching a sitcom: laughing makes me really weak. For example, when I start laughing during a squat, there's no way I can get myself upright again. I get stuck. That situation makes me laugh even more of course, making it last longer.
I will now pause sitcoms during such activities.
Here are some sunflowers as seen behind my home last month. A honey bee can be easily seen visiting a sunflower in the top two photos.
I also found a nice, big patch of moss on my walk today. It's about 50 centimeters wide at its base.
I just found mushrooms! :D
I haven't tried to identify them yet: would anyone like to give it a try?
I just went for a quick stroll through the woods behind my home. I saw a lot of ferns, moss, and some nooks where mushrooms may be hiding. I also ran into a cottontail rabbit.
I think I'll make this a habit through September. I'll have to bring my camera/phone with me next time and investigate the aforementioned "nooks".
I tried to install Guix System on an old computer, but the graphical installer kept failing at the partitioning stage. I guess I'll try partitioning manually and see what happens.
A groundhog, or woodchuck as we call them around here, standing upright by my home outside of a window. :D
Listening to "Tactile Snowfall" while planning out some code.

Here are a few simple plant photos:
On the left is my Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum, or peace lily.
On the upper-right is a flower on my Maranta leuconeura, or prayer plant, which I had no idea could flower anything.
On the lower-right are some kind of wild Hieracium plants, or hawkweed, which I always called "paintbrushes" as a kid.
