Now that YouTube is sort of willing to tell me where that massive spike in views on an old video came from, they're claiming it's from Google search (keywords undisclosed), and now I'm wondering why a couple hundred people would suddenly decide in the same half day to search for and watch a thing I made 8 years ago.

Dropped off the car at the repair shop. I'll be borrowing someone else's car for probably at least a week.

Found my music recording cables. Might play around with making some new background music for my next video.

Have you reminded your cat that they are a good cat today?

Did someone share one of my old videos this morning? It's also available on PeerTube:

Will be ordering another 2500ish pounds of coffee on Monday. Just replacements of things that are already on the shelf. Guatemalan coffees are unavailable through the web site until I get that shipment in and that'll be new crop. I didn't contract enough of that last year, but enough other places were long on their contracts that I could take their coffees until the new contract started.

My mother has offered to let me use her car while mine is in for repair since she's biking distance from everywhere she goes and knows that if she needs me to take her somewhere I will. Saves me from figuring out a rental because she has the same car I do. Even the same color.

The cat has declared it hugs time.

The Miku concert in Chicago that got rescheduled for September is now a TBD April-May, which I think is a sane decision. They're still selling the fancy multi-colored glow sticks that they couldn't keep in stock for her last tour that hit Chicago.

Today's deliveries included this box of mostly free cat toys. (some cats enjoy these cardboard packing materials)

New furnace filters are on the way. The shop is going to try switching from MERV 8 to MERV 13, expect the filters to require changing about twice as often.

The cat likes clicky keyboards. She mashes her face into the keys to hear them click.

Might go for that. One of the places to drop off ballots is just a couple blocks from my house and I don't really want to do outdoor voting in November in Wisconsin.

Mail contained a mail in ballot request form. It included a bar chart showing how my participation in elections compares to average. I always vote so that's an above average.

The cat is expressing concern. I'm going to eat the last slice of angel food cake with strawberries. After today, I deserve it.

My work for today is not finished, but I'm giving up on it.

A fast food worker saw the whole thing and checked on me promptly so I bought some food in their drive through before leaving.
