Thursday miscellanea #552

• Turned out all we needed to do to get motivated on cleaning the garage out was order a washer and dryer. We’re to the you-can’t-stop-now phase, and I’m excited about getting it back to the way I want it. (Already found a couple of tools. Still looking for my curved-jaw Vise-Grips, though.)
• Another Atlanta Brave from my childhood—and for a couple of years I rarely missed a game—has died. RIP, C-Dub. Thank you for the memories.
• Lea has joined me on Hannibal, which surprises me a little bit. We’re also watching The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco.
• We have part of the plan for Nathan at Alabama this fall. It involves a lot of mask-wearing. I suspect this is similar everywhere.
• I went and saw my neat friend Julie and her husband Brandon last week at Sharon Johnston Park. They have decided to live in an F-450 and a 42′ long fifth-wheel trailer. Part of me thinks they’re nuts, and part of me is envious. They should be underway on an adventure now. Follow along with them here.
• The COVID-19 beard soldiers on. It now has dedicated oil, balm, brush, and comb. I like it better when I’m taking this kind of care of it, but I’m still shaving it before I go back to the office.
• Thankful for the increased peace this week. Monday wasn’t great, but I’ve been pretty even, day and night, since.
