Took the kiddo on a bike ride. Found a watermelon. It was delicious.

I wish I had a way to tow a kayak on a bicycle. Also, a way to carry a bicycle on a kayak. I'd go fucking everywhere under manual power. A man can dream.

Riding a bicycle around my town. I'm fortunate enough to live in a place where I can get where I need to be on one without riding up some big giant highway or something, the joys of living in a small fishing village. "15 minute city" lol but the people who love to use that phrase would never live here, too many working class "bumpkins" and not enough commie bloc housing. I'm completely geared up to take my whole family all around this place on bicycles, including the toddler and dog. I won't live in this spot forever, but while I'm here I'm gonna make the best of it, whip my ass into shape again, feel the tactile, infinite dimensions of experience in the world around me as I move through it. I'm only firing up the truck if I can't do something on my bike for the rest of my time in this place.

Share the music that's the theme of your day. I'll start. (Sorry it's a youtube link)

Me and some pink birds where I live. My buddy is not good at taking pictures.

Clover growing from an oak stump. Life finds a way.

The owner of the property I'm on doesn't like my wife's cover crop choices for the ground in front of my hovel. Can you guess what they prefer? Grass. The land looks like shit, minus a few neighbors that plant roundup ready turf and put a ton of effort keeping the monocrop going. My wife just plucks undesirables periodically for an hour or so and helps a couple of native, not tall growing plants propagate around our place. The owner says it looks "abandoned", but it's the healthiest patch of ground here. Some people just don't get it. I can't wait until I own my patch of ground. All the grass will be doomed.

Busy as hell life lately. Kids are growing up and dad's role changes a little bit daily. So much to do and I'm too lazy to keep up with all of it. And the guys I'm doing work for right now are not behaving competently. But still, life's good.

Beautiful night at home with the best people in the world.

I wish I had my own island.

Fucking crazy. My "confiscated" crab trap washed up on shore. Of all the places it could've wound up in the ocean, it just washes right up by itself. Wild. So free crab summer is officially back on. Apologies to my friend, who has promised to keep the date on it current from now on.

In, crab trap confiscated. Lesson learned: don't count on someone who can't keep a basil plant alive. Looks like my free crab summer is over early lol.

Teaching a little kid about the world really reminds you how arbitrary everything really is. "The moon is up in the day half the time, rain is when water falls from the sky not the shower, youre going to be big and have your own kids one day" all these seem self evident to us as adults, but as a kid thats not the case and we take that for granted. Its not until later when you make sense of all these things that you understand how everything comes together. And even then there's plenty that never does. But until then, everything is just a grab bag of seemingly unrelated facts to memorize.

You can't beat the secondary market. Everything here cost me under $100 total. None of it is stolen lol. 50 bucks for the bike, 20 for the trailer, and I had to get a couple things to complete it. Still not done, one of the pedal arms is stripped out. I'll probably have to buy a new set. Once that's done I'll take the munchkin to check the crab trap. Why am I such a secondary market enthusiast? I like to buy things at their marginal utility and I like to keep capital flowing between human beings instead of with megalithic machines. Also, it feels better to work on your property, a little elbow grease makes things more yours.

I am a naked, nameless wild animal.

I haven't opened one of these in years. Tastes just like I remember it.
