@ascentale @cainmark @bikenite @M0YNG #BikeNite Q7. I haven't personally transported a telescope by bike, but I have an old Coulter CT100 4.25\" scope that's small enough, and an 80mm short-tube refractor. The problem with both of those is that you also need to carry a sturdy tripod. Something like an Orion StarBlast would work -- no tripod needed -- but you might have to collimate it each time after bouncing it around on a bike rack.

If you don't mind a trailer, that opens up many more options.

@mlanger Great tip, thanks!

I hope your trigger finger feels a lot better soon. When I had trigger thumb, I made several homemade splints that helped a lot:

Mine wasn't nearly as bad as yours, though (that swelling looks nasty) so it might not compare that well.

@seachanged @pine64 @osmand Nice! That's good to know. Those are a lot pricier than the PineTime, but if they do a better (non-averaging) job of measuring heart rate, and also oxygen, it might be worth an investment. Thanks for the info!

@bosquebill @elaterite @josh0 Weirdly, it still says .72 even after it's been raining all day (even after a reload). And similar numbers all through White Rock (six stations total). Maybe they only collect numbers once a day.

Aha, yes: apparently this network is based on 4\" manual rain gauges, reported daily.

So the numbers I'm seeing are just whenever those people last reported.

@Drew @pine64 @osmand I think I used that Osmand~ at some point, though I paid for Osmand+ long ago since I use it so much. I think the Pro subscription (required for the devices plugin) is a separate thing that needs a continuing subscription. I could probably find a way to unlock it for free, like by building the plugin myself. But the subscription isn't really that much considering the value I get from Osmand, so I don't mind paying and helping support the project.

@vikingtons Turn by turn, like navigation directions? I don't use that, and the few times I've tried it with OsmAnd it hasn't worked very well. I use it for recording tracks, and looking at the map to see where I am or where I might want to go next.

@seachanged @pine64 @osmand I thought about trying the husband's discarded Galaxy watch first, but it required digging a 15-year-old Samsung phone out of its drawer and getting it to run a modern app, which was hard enough when he did it 4 years ago, and didn't seem worth the effort now even though it was free. They apparently can only be set up with Samsung phones; he couldn't find a way with his iPhone or Android tablet, though I think once it was configured it could then talk to the iPhone.

@seachanged @pine64 @osmand Interesting! And yes to the averaging effect. I have noticed that it takes long enough that it seems like it misses the max heart rate after a big effort; I don't suppose it actually matters but it would be fun to know.

Thanks for the rec on the Wellue. Does the app have an option to keep your data local rather than reporting to the cloud? Or can any open source apps talk to it?

I got a PineTime #OpenSource smartwatch to monitor my heart rate on hikes and bike rides. I've had it for a couple months now. I like it a lot, and it's an amazing deal. Finding an app to record heart rate was the hardest part, but it turned out OsmAnd, already my favorite Android mapping app (#FOSS and uses #OpenStreetMap), does a great job. Big thumbs up for both #PineTime and #OsmAnd.

@defnotarobot Yes, they are separate, though I think they were fairly close in time at least geologically speaking (tens/hundreds of years, not thousands or millions). Some geology papers I've seen call the different layers \"cooling units\", different but similar eruptions from the same volcano that each cooled separately, before the next layer of ash landed on top, but all considered part of the same geologic layer (in this case the Tschirige layer of the Bandelier tuff).

@clickhere Yes, I'm pretty sure those are basalt, and we have plenty of columnar basalt here too. My guess is that it's the same effect -- shrinkage during cooling of a tall stack of hot volcanic material -- but the material is very different (tuff is from a thick layer of hot ash, not liquid lava) and I haven't seen anything about columnar tuff in geology textbooks or articles, so I really don't know for sure.

@CJPaloma @jaypeach53 It's at Overlook Park in White Rock. It's not visible from the road but very easy to get to, off the arroyo behind the water treatment plant, a little above the top of the waterfall, less than 1/4 mile hike from the parking behind the northernmost baseball field (turn right when you reach the arroyo).

@elaterite @bosquebill I don't usually get them at the feeder either, but some years, especially in fall, they'll come by. I don't know where they're feeding the rest of the year. I hear you about the always flitting around part! They're also skittish, so I have to move super slowly even behind the house windows or they all take flight.

Starting to see flocks of pinyon jays at the feeders. I suspect there aren't going to be many piñon nuts this year, given how little water we got this year (though it's raining now!), so the birds will be more dependent than usual on feeders. I just had a visit from a research team studying their movements; they're going to set up some traps here to try to catch and band some of the jays. Should be fun to watch.

A really bad photo of a canyon wren at a friend's house. Still the best -- maybe only -- photo I've ever gotten of a canyon wren. We hear their plaintive calls a lot, but it's very hard to see them except as a distant flutter of motion on a high cliff.

It was cool enough this morning to go for a nice mountain #bike ride. Discovered partway in that my bottom bracket is loose, but finished the ride anyway. Working on it now.

I hit a rather funny bug in #Debian #Linux this morning. I was writing a little GTK example program that read words from /usr/share/dict/words, only they weren't alphabetical like they were supposed to be. Looks like Debian's American English dictionary package tosses out any accented characters before sorting. Oops! I filed a bug.

We flew our R/C #planes at the annual #airport open house this morning. Very fun! and no significant crashes, either. It was also fun watching the parachuters and the powered hang glider. Sadly, we also had a good view of the smoke from the Frijoles fire, which had a massive flare-up yesterday for reasons no one seems to know.

A new #welding #art project after a long time off. We've been testing methods of de-rusting chains; the bicycle chain welded up just fine after soaking in vinegar for a while.

We got a super cute little outdoor wood stove. Can't wait til the weather gets cool enough to try it! Oh, yeah, and some stuff going on in the background too.
