The neck and shoulder and arm pain continue...but I think I know the cause. My glucose sensor. I think I hit a nerve when I applied it.

I ripped it off before bed after noticing that the arm pain was radiating it from under it. Let's see if I'm any better over this weekend.

Thankfully, I have my finger stick monitor until then.

True confession: I can't hear the Star Wars title without hearing these lyrics:

Today's Trip in Green. Stil some more Northwestern Section stuff I want to see, but not much. Then I'll move on to another section....

The True Meaning of Cinco de Mayo.

This is the day we fill our sinks with mayonnaise and tortilla chips in hopes of distracting El Cucui from eating the kids.

At least that's how we celebrated in our house.

Today's Trip: Bellingham and Lynden. Lynden loves its windmills. Bellingham loves to honk at you for any minor inconvenience.

@SCampbell - I'll post the recipe when I get home later tonight! ❤

Today's Trip: the ghost town of Park, WA

Tin Roof on tap!

They. Have. Fried. Catfish.

@SCampbell - totally!

Struan Bread, Round 3.

This time, I followed the directions until my instrincts said "don't do that," used buttermilk for the dairy instead of the yogurt, and instead of having it rise five times, I did four, with the fourth rise being a bench rise.

The oven...the oven was well monitored, preheating for an hour while I dialed in the correct temperature (350F in oven seems to be 300 on the dial). But I made SURE it was the right temp, and it baked for the full amount of time in the recipe instead of being ready in half the time.

Also, I noticed the ingredients list listed sesame seeds, but the instructions mentioned poppy seeds. Again, not the most reliable recipe. So I decided (1) to go ahead and put sesame seeds on it and (2) use an eggwash to stick the seeds to the bread better. And it worked beautifully.

The end result...It doesn't seem as fluffy as the last loaf (I'm not sure how as it's it "taller" than the collapsed bread), but isn't really dense like the first loaf (I still think there's too much punching down of the dough). Not as wet as the last loaf, but not as dry. But you know what? It's bread! It's actually very good, and I'm calling this a success, adding it to my regular routine, and moving forward. Might make some cornbread next time....

It's nice making your own bread. REAL nice making GOOD bread.

Does it come in Jack Daniels Zero Sugar?

The big question for May the Fourth: "Why do all the Jedi dress like Tatooine moisture farmers?"

@Flux @occhiolist@hachyderm.io @irvingpop @spottyfox @socketwench - as a cartoonist, this comparison makes perfect sense. Thank you. :)

@hjvt @Flux @occhiolist@hachyderm.io @irvingpop @spottyfox @socketwench - that makes sense. I don't do any coding myself, so I've never needed it. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

@irvingpop @spottyfox @socketwench - Actually, this would be a good time to ask. What are the resons for using Vi and Vim over Nano?

Originally, I only used Linux at my university and at an ISP I worked at for a short time. I used Vi in my university days but quickly moved over to Pico for ease of use.

I know when I worked at an ISP, they wanted me back on Vi, because Pico had a security flaw in it, which I did.

I've since moved permanently to Linux around ten years ago, and really haven't had anything that NEEDED Vi or Vim (outside of visudo when I was running Arch), so what's the major difference other than ease of use? I'm sure there are reasons to use it but because I don't write scripts or program, Nano is enough for me.

Not being adversarial, just genuinely curious. :)
