Nathan takes a walk most mornings and shares his thinking with fans of the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper

Day 2680: Parka Weather

Temps in the high 30s when I started out this morning. I went with the parka. Saw some geese before the recording started. I’ve futzed about the house too long now and forgotten what I talked about. Factorio, certainly. Wandering … Continue reading →

Day 2679: Sneeze Warning

Something in the air this morning. Or at least up my nose. Luckily the sneezes gave up after a bit. Talked too much about Factorio, gave some lip service to Wandering Inn. Commented on the foliage and flowers, as one … Continue reading →

Day 2678: Recovery Day, Part Duh

It shoulda been a low key, pleasant day yesterday instead of what it was. I made a haircut appointment for this morning. Talked about stuff but honestly I don’t remember what. Two different cats, fun with Linux secure shell, and … Continue reading →

Day 2677: Recovery Day

After another extended dental visit, I came home to moving two honking pieces of furniture around in the basement to get the treadmill back into shape for the season to come.

Day 2676: A Cold One

Granted, not as cold as it’s going to be but I was under-dressed for “low 40s” and no sunshine. Talked about fun with SSH, eating with no taste buds, homemade bread, and the trying day ahead with dental in a … Continue reading →

Day 2675: Late Start Is Still A Start

Luckily it’s a 2-day so not starting was never on the table. The weather changed dramatically over the course of 40 minutes. The fog and overcast dissipated by the time I made it around the loop. I talked about Ed … Continue reading →

Day 2674: Slow Walking

Just barely crawling today but I made it around. Talked a little about Factorio, pulling audio from cassettes, and Ed Nelson’s Cast in Time series.

Day 2673: Laid Back

After yesterday’s hustle, this morning felt pretty laid back. Talked about Noah Chinn’s series ender, Ed Nelson’s Cast in Time series. Gave a nod to the next volume of Wandering Inn and Factorio. I’m not thinking about what I might … Continue reading →

Day 2672: Hustling Along

Needed to get the walk in before my lab work. Talked about fun with EFI, a little Factorio, and my gratitude over having the Cat on somebody else’s desk.

Day 2671: Tech Day

Probably talked too much about upgrading to Mint 22. Also mentioned book 3 in Noel Chinn’s Lost series, nodded at Factorio, and threaded my way past a whole bunch of road work. Oh, and I reset my fast boot problem. … Continue reading →

I geeked out over Ventoy, linux distros, and Factorio.

Day 2669: Late Start

I lounged around the house this morning and got a late start. Talked about the Cat, Factorio, Lost Souls, and more Factorio. This algebra problem should not be this difficult but I keep trying to do it in my head.

Day 2668: Autumn Leaves

Saw the first red leaves of autumn this morning. A chilly one out there today. Talked about the usual stuff. Factorio, what I’m reading (Lost Souls, Noah Chinn), the Cat beta feedback, and how I might teach novel writing. Weird … Continue reading →

Day 2667: Rainy Day

I didn’t think it was as rainy as it turned out to be. Bigger fool me, but it was a 2-day so… Talked about the rain, Factorio (a little), reading (finished Fishing, started The Ghost Is Clear), and a bit … Continue reading →

Day 2666: Astronomical Autumn

Paying attention to the “haiku autumn” season has made me see this first day of astronomical autumn in new light. Somewhat subdued and cloudy light this morning but the hints of autumn have been with me for some time. I … Continue reading →

Day 2665: Slow Mover

A slow meander on top of a late start. Just as well, it was raining until just before sunrise. Talked about Factorio too much, the Cat too little, and Haylock Jobson in passing. Spend some minutes talking about living the … Continue reading →

Day 2664: Draggin’

The dental excursion yesterday, while relatively uninspiring, still left me draggin’ my tail this morning. I got out, probably spent too much time walking-not-talking, but it’s a 1-day and I did The Thing. Talked about Heretical Fishing, Factorio, and a … Continue reading →

Day 2663: Cooling Off

Temps in the 40s this morning. The season is definitely turning. I talked about Ghost Mortem, beta readers for the Cat, and Factorio, along with the normal maundering about my wandering.

Day 2662: Thunder

I didn’t see that coming. Obviously. Didn’t even see the lightning. Or the rain with drops so fat and heavy I felt them pelting my shoulders. Luckily there weren’t too many of them and my extra fleece protected me from … Continue reading →

Day 2661: Wet

Yes, I walked in the rain. Put on my rain shell and did the thing because it’s a 2-day and a little water won’t hurt me. Talked about Forgotten Fleet, The Cat, and Factorio. Mostly Factorio. An the weather. I … Continue reading →
