Since its release in 2021, we have sold 1404 copies of Busy Doing Nothing (digital + paperback). This is amazing, especially for something that was self-published and that wasn't distributed through a big online store :moomin_sparkles:

Our old chainplates are still useful! A machinist cut them down and made two new bolt holes for us :>! Now they're helping to reenforce the wall connection (when we bought Pino in 2016 there was a lot of dry rot around two of the upper bolt holes, one on each side).

Grinding some wheat berries~! The plan is to use the flour to make pancakes tomorrow morning, and then pizza the day after.

I reviewed and updated all of the linked documents in the 2019 Sailing in Japan guide on 100r.co There was a lot of dead or broken links, such is the nature of the internet.

The REIWA-125 is a box cart made from tiger-spotted bamboo. (A box cart is a handmade car that does not have an engine and runs solely on gravity.) This was made by Taketora, a company in Japan that makes everything out of bamboo.

This box car was made to commemorate Taketora's 125th year anniversary(in 2019), and to participate in a race in Spain. They like to participate in events to teach the world about the usefulness of bamboo. Even more impressive, is that they produced all-bamboo armor for the driver(and owner/artisan of Taketora), Yoshihiro Yamagishi, for the event.

Currently reducing some pomegranate juice to make a syrup, the boat smells sweet and it is so so distracting :neofox_googly_drool:

@rek just watched "Downfall: The case against Boeing", great breakdown of everything Boeing has done to wash off its wroingdoings since the merger. the 737 max was an attempt to quickly rehash the existing 737 design to compete with a recent airbus release: retrofitting a 40 year old design with a new engine. the boeing whistleblower josh barnett was found dead a couple weeks back. boeing got away scott free after paying 2bn USD in fines. the then ceo walked away with 62m USD.

That's really cool! Can it be sung, too? Do the notes sound good, or are they kinda random? |

@rek that’s really amazing! Congrats!
@rek That chapter of your lives shifted my perspective of hundredrabbits. I mainly thought of you folks as thoughtful planners who then made the most of the good outcomes of your choices. Busy Doing Nothing shows you persevering in much bleaker circumstances.
Beyond the artwork you create
How far through Wiktopher I scroll
You are the master of your fate
You are the captain of your soul.
