I'm going to see #Heilung in #Dublin this April, but I'm probably going to stick around in #Ireland for a while too see the sights. If anyone has any suggestions, they'd be appreciated.

Hey @[Brad Koehn ☑️](http://social.gibberfish.org/people/349ab82134669a3b), you seem to know a lot about aviation. I have a question for you. Yesterday when I was on a flight, the plane was within seconds of touching down when we climbed again, circled, and came in for a second landing attempt. The pilot eventually told us that there was another plane on the runway, which was -- concerning. Do you know if these kind of things are filed publicly with some federal agency? I'd like to know the details of what actually happened.

Does anyone here use #AWX? I just had AAP pitched at me by some Red Hat sales people and they made it sound like RH has deliberately hamstrung the project to force people behind their paywall.

Months of hard work in the garden have finally paid off.

The field of paleontology is mean. It has always been mean. It is, in the words of Uppsala University professor Per Ahlberg, “a honeypot of narcissists.” It is “a snake pit of personality disorders.” “An especially nasty area of academia,” the Field Museum’s Jingmai O’Connor calls it.

Who knew?

Dear Canada, if you can't keep the smoke on your side of the border you need to stop having wildfires. It's rude.

I came home from a weekend in NYC to find my blackberries had flopped over thanks to tropical whatever Debbie. I got them righted again without catastrophic damage, but it's relying on some mechanical assistance. I may have to get some extra long stakes or rebar to hold them up more permanently.

Weirdly dinky/odd shaped harvest of these white potatoes, compared to the reds. Not sure these are worth saving for seed. Might just eat them and find another variety for the spring.

The Intrepid Museum in NYC has a 22' long replica of the original ship design in Lego, in case you didn't know @[Hypolite Petovan](http://social.gibberfish.org/people/735a20292057e0afa5e14c2885654633)

I terminated my cover crop of beans this morning and re-sowed. This was a month's worth of growth in the July heat. I suspect it will slow down a little as the weather cools. I wonder how many more cycles I can get out of it before Fall arrives in earnest.

Momentous decisions have been made. In preparation for spring I’m going to build two more 6x4 cedar raised beds like the one in the photo, which will go side by side in the foreground where that blue tote currently sits. There should be enough soil in the old rotted raised bed hiding in the back right to more or less fill them both. The cement block raised bed will then be relocated to that back corner. I’ve also propagated the two large blackberry plants against the fence into four plants, so those should take off next season as well. Behind this photo to the right, I’ve also tarped off an 8x10 area of lawn to plant wildflowers in the spring. We may get some fruit trees next year as well.

Lots of work ahead. I owe my lower back a preemptive apology.

I sowed these beans just over three weeks ago. Almost time to chop them down and sow some more :D

I found this barrel on the side of the road outside a marina. I called them to make sure it wasn't used to store anything nasty, and they couldn't tell me for certain, but it's free of residue/smell on the inside, and the bung was sealed with caulking, which makes me pretty certain it was used as a dock float. The faded print on the outside says it was originally for apple juice concentrate, so I know the plastic is food safe. I'm confident enough, despite its uncertain provenance, to use it as a rain barrel. I got it set up in it's future home and 3D printed a cap where it was missing one. Now I'm just waiting for the spigot and diverter I ordered to arrive. Unfortunately, due to where the downspouts are placed, I had to put it on the opposite side of the house to my garden. It'll be good exercise, I guess,
