Welcome to #CheckIn for THURSDAY, 2024-06-06

I remember this day in 1966. So it was 6/6/66. I was amazed by this, child of 8 that I was. As were some of my friends at school.

What perfectly natural occurrences just fill you with wonder?

Welcome to #CheckIn for Wednesday, June 5

Hello again for the last topic of my round of hosting! Next up is @kahomono@friendica.me but first –

I was reading a site I really enjoy, OK Doomer and she referenced an interesting study about how people do not like to spend time (less than 15 minutes) in their own head…to the point where they would rather give themselves a mild electric shock! I would have liked to read more about the study because I have so many questions (but not enough to purchase the paper🤷‍♀️). Did people know the exercise would end? How do they usually feel about time? What was the cohort? How abrupt was the isolation?

To some extent I get it; it took quite a while to be able to be able to meditate without guidance. And a lot of that was stilling my thoughts because apparently, I have a lot of them. I do find it interesting to look back at my childhood from an adult perspective because I had a reasonable childhood, but aside from that I can think about things I’ve read or just things. If all else fails, I just think about active things like waves.

I don’t mind being alone or doing stuff alone but not all the time. How about you? Do you meditate? Or have solitary pursuits or do you need to fill your space with people?

Welcome to #CheckIn for Tuesday, June 4

Well hello there, Cass here.

It’s season finale time for traditional networks and streaming services have started a lot of new shows. Will Trent and NCIS had interesting season endings and I was very sad to see the end of NCIS Hawaii.  There’s new Doctor Who season and a new Star Wars series starting and I zipped through Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.  That’s really my favorite format.

I know many of you don’t ‘watch tv’ but most have a favorite media. This is your chance to geek out our just talk about anything…

Welcome to #CheckIn for Monday, June 3

Hey, hey, it's Monday! And Cass is still hosting🙂

I was watching ‘How to Cook That' and the topic was Marmite and Vegemite. These spreads have only been on my radar as an unknown food option with very polarizing flavours. One tip was to spread thinly. So last time I was in the Cooks, I tried Vegemite at breakfast. To my surprise, I didn't hate it. At home I've got a small jar of Marmite. For me it's a great snack because the flavour is so intense I just stop eating after I finish. I can see using it for Umami in stews.

Have you eaten adventurously lately? Do tell…or express your disgust for non-alcoholic brewery leftovers.

Welcome to #CheckIn for Sunday, June 2

Hey there, Cass here! Let’s talk about AI🙂

I’ve got a lot of AI tools available, from Samsung’s version on my phone to  translate and summarize webpages to constant offers from COPILOT to rewrite my posts. No! I do find it handy for editing my photos but would not use it for any original art. My skill level is colour mostly inside the lines and I see no benefit in portraying anything different.

But…I read about a man who has an AI girlfriend and he feels she’s relieved a lot of stress in his life. I don’t know that’s any different than an LD relationship. At some point he may feel confident enough to move on and there is value in learning to communicate kindly.

That’s where I am with AI. What about you?

Welcome to #CheckIn for Saturday, June 1

Hi, how are ya? Cass here.

It’s a travel day today (Saturday) as we're doing a Christmas visit at a better time of year. Fred will visit his parents frequently this summer while Bennie and I stay home. Ah home alone...

I was volunteering at the library the other day and one of the staff was saying their spouse was going away so they would be eating all the foods the spouse didn't enjoy—curry, sushi…foods with stronger flavours. When Fred goes away I give the place a good tidy so I can enjoy stuff staying where I put it for a bit. I used to rearrange furniture but I've gotten past that and just eat takeaway he doesn't like as much.

What kind of things do/did you do when you have a shared space to yourself?

Welcome to #CheckIn for Friday, May 31

Hello fellow humans, Cass here.

Media had a theme today. First, there was this totally unexpected email from Medium;.then there was a recommended Rebecca Watson video about what it took for her to complete a Century ride. The theme was willpower - that is, the self-control to resist temptation to meet a stretch goal.

Fred's dealing with aging parents and it's reminded us to take care of our health. Recently we've decided to move away from one fast day a week to resetting my serving sizes and reducing snacking to maintain metabolic health - my snacks are mostly sweets. I'm lucky to be able to control our shopping to reduce tempting treats.

What do you do to reduce temptation when trying to meet a goal?

Welcome to #CheckIn for Thursday, May 30

Hi there, Cass here. I will be your host for the next week. If you are #NewHere; welcome!

Bennie has just turned 6! He’s a reminder of how much our lives have changed in the time we’ve had him. I was staying with my dad for 6 weeks when Bennie joined our family because his wife was out of the country. It was the first thing I did as a retiree! Bennie was a handful as he was very protective and guarding led to biting the hand that fed him. Especially if there were paper products like tissues involved. I was ready to give up but worked with a behaviourist instead.

I was reminded how far he’s come when I was doing something in the kitchen and dropped a paper towel on the floor. I finished the task and then picked it up. Bennie didn’t even pay attention to it.

Has there been a welcome change in behaviour that you haven’t noticed? Do share!

A little bit of housekeeping. The Nerdica instance has been discontinued so all those reference addresses have been removed. Also, there is a new avatar but I noticed it wasn't showing when Rod posted🤷‍♀️

Welcome to #CheckIn for Wednesday May 29, 2024

Why howdy there #Checkin People! It’s Rod again. Today’s my last day as mod, and for the life of me I can’t remember who’s next. And since my brain seems to be misfiring, in lieu of a topic, I’ll just cut and paste today’s observances:

2024 Daily Holidays that fall on May 29, include:
• Composting Day (Okay, I'll turn over the pile with a pitchfork)
• End of the Middle Ages Day (Wait, what?!)
• International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers (Don't even get me started)
• Learn About Composting Day (well that's rather redundant)
• National Biscuit Day (American or British? I prefer the latter, but like the former with cheese or peanut butter)
• National Coq Au Vin Day (AFAIC Julia Child's recipe stands the test of time)
• National Senior Health & Fitness Day (I guess I'll walk to the library or ride my mountain bike somewhere)
• Paper Clip Day ("It was invented in 1899. It hasn’t been improved upon since.")
• Pink Flamingo Day 
• Put a Pillow on Your Fridge Day (Hm.. Now that's a curious superstition, but not the weirdest by a long shot)
• World Digestive Health Day (After all the Coq Au Vin?!)
• World Otter Day (Here are some cute otter pics)

Kids are coming into town tomorrow, and I’m getting the house ready for their arrival. I can hardly wait to see their smiling faces!! (goes over checklist again to make sure everything is in order.)

As usual, the topic is open.

Welcome to #CheckIn for Tuesday, May 28, 2024

Why howdy there #Checkin People! It’s Rod again. Today I guess we’ll talk about stalled projects.

I experienced an electrical short while riding on my motorbike a while back, one that produced a lot of smoke. (Yikes!) I had it towed home and checked each circuit with a multimeter. The lower starter circuit is the only one that’s working, meaning it’s a lot more than just some blown fuses. When pulling the ignition circuit out, there were fried plug blocks and melted wires. After more testing I found I was going to need a new CDI and wiring harness. Maybe I’ll go with a digital controller, but I’m at an impasse as to whether to keep the motorbike, or send it to the recyclers.

My road bike project proceeds apace, but I’ve hit a snag that will require the expertise of an actual bicycle mechanic. I’ve got the Nexus 8-speed rear hub and a 6v-3w dynamo front laced into a pair of Shimano rim brake wheels. The rear wheel is symmetrical, so establishing a straight chain line should be achievable, but I haven’t a clue as to how to do this. I am also clueless when it comes to which rear sprocket and crankset I should employ for the local terrain, as the hub only has a 309% range. I don't wish to have to walk up hills, but I don't want to overspin on the downhills either.

I did a lot of research beforehand, but frankly I’m stymied about what bottom bracket to use, and the Park Tool Blue Book hasn’t helped much. I should probaby drag this project into the local Shimano Authorized Dealer to find out how to complete this project. Fortunately, I still have my mountain bike to wheel around on.

Full disclosure: I only started working on the motorcycle project again after hitting a wall on a supposedly “moderate” iFixit-led computer repair/CPU upgrade. (sigh) Talk about a chain of frustration!

Has something similar ever happened to you where you suffered one stalled project after another?

As usual, the topic is open.

Welcome to #CheckIn for Monday, May 27, 2024

Why howdy there #Checkin People, it’s Rod here, and we’re going to try this yet again. Sure hope it works this time.

Well, I had a pretty low key Sunday. Mostly just read and not much else other than prepare meals, eat and nap. Watched Dune 2, which was pretty good. Read from the third of several books that I've checked out from the library. Wait, I did return some books via the book drop on my way back from picking up some medicine for Val at the pharmacy. Oh, and some Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

I’ve probably mentioned that my cat Maximus died recently. On the Veterinarian's recommendation we had made an appointment with a home euthanasia service, but Max didn’t even make it that far. What I haven’t mentioned was that my other black cat, Digbee, has left home. We had been keeping him indoors for several weeks while treating him for a serious infection from a cracked tooth when Max decided to crawl under the sofa and give up the ghost.

When we couldn’t find Max that morning, or Digbee either, since we were to give him the last of his meds. Knowing Max was on his last legs, we looked all over before Valerie noticed the sofa’s bottom lining had been pulled down. Sure enough, there was Max, dead as a doornail, having crawled up inside. Digbee was under there too, and when Val reached in to pull Max’s body out, Digbee growled and hissed at her, which is something he’d never done before. All of the cats seemed pretty freaked out. now they just seem depressed. Maybe that's projection on my part.

I buried Max up in the corner of the lot, piling up some blocks and pavers, for sort of a Maxhenge. Digbee exited by the cat door and since then has only once entered the house to eat. He’s been hanging around the property though, and I suspect he’s been joining the porch cats for feeding. He looks our way when called, but will flee if either of us approach him. He often hangs out on the front or back porch, or snoozes in the sun on some of the steps we have out back.

It’s rather disheartening, as before he was always around, mostly sleeping on the couch or snoozing in the cat tree, but often underfoot at feeding time. Now he’s apparently left home to become an outdoor cat. The other cats seem to miss him. I most certainly do.

As usual, the topic is open.

Welcome to #Checkin for Sunday May 26th, 2024

Why howdy there #Checkin People! It’s Rod again. Other than apologizing for blanking out on the moderation thing Thursday, I got nothing.

Was a time when Memorial Day holiday weekend was one in which a large group of friends would travel from all over and gather to celebrate our friend Gordon’s birthday at his large house in Pacific Beach. But he’s been gone some years now, as well as many of the attendees, so these days I usually spend this weekend in quiet reflection.

In preparation I picked up a several library holds on Friday, and already have one down, with a few more to go. The best part about having spoiled lap cats is their use as a handy book rest.

The kids are coming into town for a visit on Thursday with plans for touring the Japanese Friendship Gardens in Balboa Park. on Friday. We'll hang out as much as possible before they head back Sunday morning. Whenever we get together, it's as if I don't realize just how much I've missed them until I see them in person. In spite of the fact that I expect such a phenomenon, it continues to be surprising,

How are things looking for you?

Welcome to #CheckIn for Saturday, May 25

Hi, how are ya – Cass here, testing a new #CheckIn account.

We got our first weather advisory for funnel clouds today. It didn’t seem likely butI kept an eye out as I spent the afternoon digging dandelions out of the lawn while Fred installed gutter guard because our gutters collects leaves form the neighbourhood. It’s spring so it’s crop report time. The upper layers are getting up to seasonal moisture but it’s still really dry under the surface and seeding is behind but getting done.

I grew up in a city and was pretty adamant I would never move to a rural area or even an suburban acreage yet here I am checking crop reports. Are there unique non-emergency news reports in your area? Tide tables, crop reports, etc?

Today’s topic is suggested by @Cass M 👋🏽 but there’s always an element of randomness. Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not), follow Wheaton’s Law and enjoy the space.

Welcome to #Checkin for May 24

Howdy, howdy. Cass here (again).

Sorry about yesterday's missing post. The team is widespread and things come up and it's hard to coordinate on one platform.

I think I mentioned I have no personal contact information for most of the team. Not unusual. Even customer support seems to be moving away from providing a customer support number. I get the appeal of chat windows, WhatsApp or iMessage as it gives instant indications as long as you're using that app. I like the RCS messaging of Android for the same reasons.

This is all to say The Checkin account is still not leaving their server. How do I know? I tagged myself on a test post. How do you check that your message is getting to the people you need it to? Do you get upset about being "left on read"?

Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not), follow Wheaton’s Law and enjoy the space.

Welcome to #CheckIn for Wednesday, May 22

Hello again for the last topic of my round of hosting! Next up is @Rod but first …

We were driving on a major highway and passed through billboard central in a part of the province that embraces GOP talking points. We don’t have a lot of billboards overall so it’s very US feeling. Most billboards we do have are related to food, lodging or city events. They had an anti-abortion billboard that said they couldn’t show an abortion as part of their billboard. That is a true statement. Most abortions look like a pill and used feminine hygiene product and until recently feminine hygiene products used blue liquid to demonstrate absorption🙄 It stuck with me because it’s such a great example of misinformation.

Do you have billboards in your area?

Welcome to #CheckIn for Tuesday, May 21

Well hello there, Cass here. I posted on the CheckIn Account but it doesn't seem to be ging out so here's the backup!

Money, money, money, seems like everyone is feeling squeezed.

I'll be honest, I don’t like the word budget because I associate it with cutting costs BUT I do like tracking expenses and having money left over. My focus is having cash in my account to pay off credit cards within the billing cycle. They are two sides of the same coin but, to me, one feels less stressful.

Are you a budgeter or a tracker? Do you use a spreadsheet or an app?

Welcome to #CheckIn for Monday, May 20

Welcome to #CheckIn for Monday, May 20

Hey, hey, it's Monday!

I was a tomboy growing up so there were a lot of stereotypes I just didn’t bother with. That changed at around 16 as I absorbed elements of women’s roles. One thing I seemed to buy into was that an adult woman is always supposed to have the highest cleanliness level of household occupants. No one I lived with expected me to be the super cleaner but I expected me to be the super cleaner and it made me feel unappreciated. It wasn’t until we actually settled on being childfree that I could shed the role of critical cleaner. Now I clean as much as I needed to feel comfortable in our home. There’s a whole other person with thumbs who can do the same (and robovacs) so we’re content with the outcome.

Is there a cultural ideal you internalized that took way too long to shake off? Or tell us your secret to embracing that ideal.

Welcome to #CheckIn for Sunday, May 19

Welcome to #CheckIn for Sunday, May 19

Hey there, Cass here!

I saw a poll from @Randy Resnick (Bluesbreaker) asking how long you've been an adult.

I moved away from home at 20 and became responsible for my part of household decisions/expenses. I almost moved back home when I was 23, 25 and then again at 35. I didn't end up doing that but the door was open.

Does moving back with your parents with a finite move out date mean you're still adulting?.

Welcome to #CheckIn for Saturday, May 18

Hi, how are ya? Cass here. Looks like I’ll be here for the rest of the week so I'll have to step up the error-checking before posting🙂

I was watching a video where two guys were trying to convince a third to use an app to organize their life. In the episode, they identified main ways people tend to organize their time. One is by task (todo or reminder apps with notifications) and the other is by events (calendar). I tend towards using calendar events with alarms, and scrawled to-do lists for the day - that's why I have a pen-enabled phone.

What about you? Do you use calendar reminders with repeating events or scheduled reminders/to-do list?
