Timespinner beta plays on the new computer. Time to fight catboss again.

.

The bulk grinders have just had a lot of maintenance done to them so it's time to bring in the refractometer and the sieve shaker for a better calibration on those. For today I did a rough calibration by sight and taste, but I can get a tighter calibration if I use technology.

With all the Touhou spinoffs getting localized lately I just have to wonder, Gensou Skydrift for PS4 when?

After entirely too long a delay I finally have an estimate on some repair work for the house. I can once again create a budget.

Now that I've got basic setup/confirming things work done, it's time to go through getting all my projects set up/software installed.

KDE Connect is already helping me look at the phone less now that I can use that again.

I didn't expect it would work (not advertised as Thunderbolt) but running external displays through through the HDMI ports on the USB C dongles doesn't work with the new computer. I will have to be satisfied with just the onboard HDMI and 2x DisplayPort which are all working.

Gave Pop a try because I haven't used it before but as expected, quickly ended up back on KDE Plasma.

It did not take long for the cat to claim the box.

Was invited to help eat bratwurst. Parents' cat is tired.

I think I'll just run those out front and my staff can put those through the dishwasher.

My mother had good/bad timing on deciding to get out of the house. Good: she washed my chai cooking dishes so I don't have to. Bad: she drained the sinks so I need either run new dish water or take the pitchers out front after bottling.

Someone bought all the chai concentrate so I'm cooking more now.

Also got an external optical drive since games still come with soundtrack CDs and I'd like to be able to listen to those. Was glad to see that it's a tray loader (some stuff also still comes on mini CD which don't work with slot loaders)

New computer arrived.

Cat wants to lick my head.

New computer finally moved out of the hub and into the state. Should get out for delivery today on schedule.

The ballot was too long. The markers in the voting booths are on strings and there was no fixed position where you could get the marker to reach every part of the ballot at once so I needed to shift things around.
