    Rolled down 80km of Italian alps today on the Alpe-Adria cycling route. Probably the nicest part of the route. Between Villach and Carnia including some 50+ km of the most beautiful rail to trail I’ve been on. With good weather as well. Honestly amazing day.

    Norway’s constitutional day today, so started the off at 8 with canon shots from the castle where the royal families resided in the 11-1200’s followed by a speech from the mayor, then a parade through the city for the annual retelling of some of the towns heroes and legends from throughout history, and then hotdogs and ice cream and coffee in the sun before going home for breakfast and cake, and then the children’s parade through the streets from home just before 13. Now it’s gaming time while I listen to the party of the celebrating russ next door in the background.

    Putter around in the garden while the pups and the hens frolic in the yard, then off to work this afternoon. Work is a doggie daycare/boarding/training facility and it’s a rather slow weekend, so basically it’ll be some cleaning but mostly 8hrs of chilling with a pack of dogs what’s going to be a lovely spring afternoon. I have no complaints.

    Making music. I’ve started working on a new EP, probably around 5 songs, that I plan to release within 3 months.

      Oh that’s rad as hell! I just started learning music production somewhat recently, it’s so hard but so much fun. I hope your EP comes together smoothly, I’m sure it’ll turn out badass. What genre?

        Thanks! Yeah, even I am still continuously learning new things. In fact, I recently reset my mixing/mastering workflow and started fresh, because of new stuff I learned. I do different genres, but this time it’s gonna be a prog industrial metal instrumental album.

    Well, this morning, I’m nursing a hangover, and learning an important lesson about making bulk cocktails: water them down, because there’s no need for ice if you keep bulk cocktails refrigerated. Also, the pumpkin spice espresso martini recipe I’d made several months ago came out annoyingly viscous.

    But it was delicious otherwise, and I’d ended up drinking an entire bottle on my own last night. Luckily it was only ~50 proof.

    Made the mistake of trying Deadlock. It’s invite only right now but there are communities that will let you friend someone for an invite. Anyway I figured it was good since it’s Valve. And uh unfortunately I was right. I haven’t slept properly in a week

    Well, it’s bed time here, but in the morning I’m going on a road trip to get another preventative rabies shot. I didn’t build up enough antibodies from the 3 shots last fall to work with raccoons and foxes and such, so I’m giving it another try.

    It’s a 5-6 hour round trip, but another wildlife center is running a discount program, so it saves me $500 or so, even with gas taken into account.

        It is! The shots are normally around 600 to 800 each, and you need 3, typically.

        The clinic out there does a spring and fall event so new volunteers and anyone needing a booster can come all on the same days. One vial of vaccine holds enough to do 10 people, so instead of giving one shot and tossing the rest as would happen if we all got shots randomly, they schedule us to all come on the same days, and pass the savings on to us, as most of us aren’t paid to do this work.

        I tested positive for antibodies, but not high enough to safely work with rabies vector animals, so I’m due for a booster. I believe we need to get a titer every 2 years to show we still have proper antibody levels to keep working with them.

        So it’s a bit of a hassle, but we have so many cute critters that I can’t work with without doing it!

        A tiny baby fox they brought back to life after it passed. It’s big now, and still just as adorable!

    I’m going to start a new homebrew experiment making watermelon cucumber hard seltzer with lemon zest and a splash of apple juice. It probably needs sweetener after the sugars have become alcohol to bring back the watermelon flavour and maybe some mineral salt to give it seltzer character.
