My apple trees really came through this year. As I was picking them, Sparky decided to get in on the action. He likes the idea of apples, but doesn’t actually eat them.
Most of the apples will go to feeding the deer, but some looked so good, I’m making apple butter.

I get that “judgement free zone” is supposed to mean that a pudgy dotard like me won’t feel intimidated by the fit young people, but I am judging people all over the place. I respect the chunky rascal on the treadmill, trying to get hammered into shape. I appreciate the crotchety bastard who just finished the rehab regiment after cardiac surgery. He can’t lift much, but he’s lifting. It’s the other people.

I am voting for Vivek Ramaswamy for president because his wife works at The Ohio State University and he is from Cincinnati.
Is he qualified? Who cares?
Current trends are expected to continue. At 40 years old, hitting the gym gets you results. At 50, you’re attempting to slow the decline. At 60, you hope to retain full functionality. At 70, you’re just plugging leaks. If you are over 40, whatever shape you are in today, is probably the healthiest you will ever be. It’s like this scene from Office Space.

Prior to reading any analysis, here’s my take on the Republican presidential debate:

J.S. Morin’s Galaxy Outlaws is usually recommended as a book series similar to the Firefly TV show. That is just wrong. If you like Science Fiction, you must watch Firefly. It’s described as a Western in space. That doesn’t do the TV show justice and is part of why Firefly didn’t catch on when it originally aired, and only lasted one season. The characters in Firefly make it a perfect TV show. 10/10. There isn’t a thing that can be changed to improve it. If you don’t like Firefly, then you don’t like that genre.

It’s ironic, to say the least, that the U.S. is seeking to imitate China’s economic model at the moment that its industrial policy fractures. Look no further than its collapsing electric-vehicle bubble, which is a lesson in how industries built by government often also fail because of government.

I just finished the Robot Geneticists series by J. S. Morin. It is also known as the Project Transhuman.
The support structure went together as planned. Later on, I will add a hatch to the lower storage.
