<p>In the analog world, woodworking with hand tools, reading scifi and fantasy novels, creative writing, hiking, walking, and fly fishing. On the digital front, I’m moving away from the big tech giants and migrating many things to self-hosted solutions. <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>woodworking</span></a>, <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/flyfishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>flyfishing</span></a>, <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/tenkara" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tenkara</span></a>, <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/handtools" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>handtools</span></a>, <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</sp

    I hate that I can’t remove F1 from the second row of my Apple TV Home screen. Nobody in my household will ever watch F1.

    Quick morning project: a trivet for the table made from a scrap of sapele. I drew the bird design then carved it out (just a shallow carve). It’s not my design. I found the pattern with a web search and then referred to that image on my phone while I penciled it out. Adds a bit of flair. I added feet, because why not. #woodworking #handtoolsonly

    Today I learned that I can turn off showing scores for sports in Apple TV under settings &amp;gt; TV. Useful when I want to watch a MLS game later. ⚽️

    Just finished installing a three-barrel rain catchment system for our backyard with a kit from BlueBarrel. It was a fun project. BlueBarrel is worth checking out if you’re looking for rain barrel options. https://www.bluebarrelsystems.com/about/the-bluebarrel-system/

    Recently returned from a trip to Western Maryland, where we stayed in one of the few mid-Atlantic spots with no cell service (look, a phone booth!). The fishing was excellent, but the water levels are way too low for April. #FlyFishing

    Wasted many hours today trying to cut a perfect 45 degree miter using various hand tool implements. Concluded that my next project is a donkey’s ear shooting jig. “Spend time cutting scrap wood just for practice” is underrated. #WoodWorking #handtools

    Beautiful spot where Beaver Creek meets Antietam Creek in Washington County, Maryland. Fishing wasn’t good, but the scenery was great. Normally at this time of year, the water levels are a couple of feet higher. Like much of the country, we are in drought conditions in the spring. Not great. #flyfishing
