and for God's sake don't be all reaching through the steering wheel to zero the trip odometer or that next pothole will whip that wheel and break your arm!

The way this hotel is built, the breezeway makes our room whistle when the wind gusts (GALE WARNING. From the N at 20 to 30 knots, with gusts of 35 to 40 knots)

I dreamed we lived in a flute.

Missed sunrise. This is as close as I got

Turns out it was our doorway. Metal door, metal doorway. Square to themselves, not to each other.

Maintenance guy replaced the door plate & no more howling wind

That looks similar to the Bridgers in the background, where is this?

Looking east from my house in Grant County NM toward Cooke's Peak, Luna county NM.

Nice shot!

Got a 3d printer kit this week and got it put together yesterday, after a couple prints to get it dialed it, I think I am ready to figure out how to tie it to beer brewing.

Don't you need to spend 3 years printing things to make your printer work better before attempting anything of practical use?

Nope, I spent a little more for a Prusa i3 so I dont have to keep chasing my tail or buying upgrades.

Dang cat brings critters into the house!

At 4 am, the running, jumping and general commotion of 2 cats playing with the poor guy… I got all 3 of them herded outside. I was awake for 2 hours afterwards. I’m old and need my sleep!

Sunset, Pacifica, CA, 2010:

 

[GrogNerd]

I thought CA tilted more to the left

 

[balrog]

The photographer tilted even further, hence the result.

 

[D.B.Moody]

I hadn't had that many beers, and I'm sure were not violating political talk rules, so let me say I don't always tilt so much:

Built in 1966.. CO2 recovery compressor at a large brewery. (not me in image)

I sell compressed air & gas systems world-wide but mainly in the U.S.A.. You might be surprised how much CO2 is bought and used just for transfer and bottling operations. Few places recover and reuse CO2 from fermentation I suspect this image below was at either BM-or-C.

That is changing, though, A Texas startup is gaining momentum and placing small scale liquefaction systems in many breweries!

My first brewery tour was Tioga Sequoia around 2015 and I was most surprised by their CO2 capture system. The owner/guide said that it produced far more CO2 than they needed. I'd never heard of such a thing, but it made total sense.

Just in the last year I have seen 2 local taprooms with a system that pulls nitrogen from the air to help push their taps.

Apparently the excess CO2 has also provided an extra revenue source for breweries who work with the legal pot growers.

My guess is this practice is also less taxing on the grid and helps lower the overall cost for both parties.

Thanks for sharing!

Got my new back tire on. Breaking it in. Stopped at the local Viet Nam memorial.

I've never lived in a state where hurricanes are a thing...but I live within range of large-rocks-flying-at-unbelievable-velocities to a few volcanoes. If Rainier goes my house will be toast (and myself as well). Lived through one major (to us) 6.8 magnitude earthquake back in 2001. Around here anything under 5.0 is pretty much meh.

843,298,734 data centers nearby, 75% of the world's cloud computing goes thru our county

pretty sure we're a Ground Zero, anyone wants to nuke the US

I grew up in south Georgia have been in several hurricanes and tropical storms and for the last 25 years I have lived just west of Portland and I have been through the 2001 quake, seen Mt St Helens get a little grumbly in 2004 and have been smoke out by the forest fire to where I could not see my mailbox, I would take a hurricane almost everyday of the week. At least you know they are coming unlike the next big quake could be today or 50 years down the road. And some of our winter storms around here are often stronger and last longer than most tropical storms
