Thrift shop visit after breakfast. Nothing too exciting. Always watching for Fire King or Cornishware mugs, but no luck today.
Came across a Fire King the other day, but it was McD's branded, sadly.
Always fun to look. The game even without a coveted find is to choose which one you'd use if you had a coffee or tea right that moment.

Ha ha - this pie plate with an apple pie recipe on it…
"Every time I try to make an apple pie, I get to the part where you put the pastry into the dish, then I don't know what to do next!"

I'm eager for an update to #tusky that does aggregation of notifications, like the web client has for a while now. So it'll say "156 people boosted this toot," rather than 156 separate notifications. Perhaps the next version?
As an accidental poster of a couple of popular toots lately (what's up with that?) your notifications get flooded and you can't see the convos w your regular chatty friends unless you play with filters, muting and such.
Oh, and hello to new followers waves
Glad to have you along. Unfortunately I run a pretty boring feed generally, but the bonus is that you will receive an envelope containing slice of bread in the mail shortly. It's automatic when you follow.

Did a little back-deck snow removal on this freezing cold day.
Did it Chernobyl style – that's where you run outside with a shovel and do as much as you can in the thirty seconds before the cold becomes unbearable without a coat, then run inside again.
You prob know this already, but if you duck-search, you can go to a slightly different entry point at https://noai.duckduckgo.com to do web searches without AI slop dumping on you.
I see they've dressed up the landing page their! Now more obviously non-AI. I mean, it's a selling feature, so yeah, go to town guys.
(if you still google things, consider the duck search! it's worked well for me for years, and the non-ai version is a nice step forward).

Is that new? I never noticed the "Remove xxx from followers" option when you click on the three-dots menu on a Mastodon person before. (web client)
Always had to do the block/unblock thing to bump them away.
Nice little increment in features if it's a new thing.

Massive snowfall mostly cleared, and even a yoga-for-cat-owners session completed. The day is off to a sunny but very cold start.
Moar tea.

Snowy day! But not much accumulation yet. At this frosty temperature (-13C) the flakes are pretty small and dry, so it'll build slowly.
I see MerrySky is still saying 13cm, but the EnviroCanada forecast is now saying "20 to 35 cm" and issued an "orange warning."
"Squish-out" – something you love to see in cookies and woodworking/joinery, but not so much in subways and tailor shops.
Doing some glue-ups and it's gone pretty well today. A bit more cutting and assembly tomorrow and hopefully finishing this secondary workbench build.
#woodworking #joinery #diy
This workbench I'm making is going to use these cute lipstick-red polyurethane wheels (locking) at one end, and adjustable feet with tee-nuts at the other.
Should make it easily moveable, but still pretty solid so that it doesn't move around when you want it to be steady.
No decision on a racing-stripe yet.
