Circumnavigated Mercer Island in my kayak today. It was the farthest I've ever paddled. I wanted to see if (with more training) I could do @seventy48 and now I think I could. I also think I'm going to be sore tomorrow. #SummerProjects #kayakingThe #DunlapCommunityFridge is getting painted. Thanks @snys.era206 It looks amazing!Trimming trees like a pro. Hand saw, 20' up a ladder, above the recently finished pizza oven... What could possibly go wrong‽Went sailing today in a boat I started building 3 years ago. This was my third boat to start building and the first to hit the water (the others were destroyed in a move). I wonder if @edsobey will still honor our deal to return $30 when the boat is complete. We agreed to it when I was 14. 😂Fun family ride for #ChillyHilly today. From home, around Bainbridge, and back home, we cover about 50 miles with lots of hills in 10 hours (with stops). Liz joined us for this adventure. @an.avery.a.day rode about 4-5 miles. Strong work for a 4 year oldCategories

Running through 2020
A little over four years ago, I started running every day. I had done that before but never with much success. This time things were different and I managed to run every day for a year. The following year, I … Continue reading
Croissants
After going vegan, there are obvious things you miss like good cheese (they are getting better, but still have room to improve) and there are less obvious foods like croissants. Maybe it’s obvious to everyone else, but having never made … Continue reading
Sourdough
I’ve been baking for a while and keeping my sourdough starter going for about two years. During the first 23.5 months, one person asked for some. Since beginning “Stay Home, Stay Safe,” aka COVID lockdown, four nine (as of April … Continue reading
Making Vegan Challah (First Try)
I’ve been baking breads for several years now, but still remember the confusion of getting started. So many recipes said things like “Add water 1 TBSP at a time until reaching the right consistency” or “Let rise until the dough … Continue reading
BLE BirdLight
Avery has never been a great sleeper. In fact, by the time she turned two and a half, the number of nights she slept all the way through could still be counted on one hand. We’ve tried multiple approaches including … Continue reading

Can’t you check the wiring?!?
A group of four students in the Nelsen Middle School Robotics Club stared from their robot to the diagram on the screen and back again. “Wait, does the yellow wire go there?” “No, I think it goes in the next … Continue reading
Sapiens
Earlier this year, after listening to several podcasts proclaiming that Sapiens was the best book of 2016, I decided I should give it a glance. The online reviews made it sound interesting but I still wasn’t convinced that I’d make … Continue reading
