Sailor, maker & technologist splitting time between the CO mountains & the Chesapeake (home of Nymeria). Run, game, bake & seek general happiness. 🖖 💬 Heads up: I get highly engaged in politics/transit. larakin.systems ournextadventures.com
Im watching stats while I test my new site. im suprised to see my pds receives the most requests of my little internet empire.
Had a visitor lat night. They come by often. Likes to check if the neighbors left their trash unlocked.
Morning Bake complete. Sourdough loaf, Asiago sourdough loaf, and a batch of gingersnaps. Also note: weeks of kitchen work. Repainted cabinets, repainted walls, and a new tile backsplash.
I do love riding my bike in Durango. The river trail is a gem! #Trains #multimodal 🚂
At Penn Station Baltimore headed for a day in Philadelphia. My first time in PA.
I really am enjoying working with LLM agents and MCPs. I can see many scary pitfalls people can and will fall into, but this is fun in the meantime.
The weather cleared for an epic set of fireworks 🎇 🎆 in the inner harbor Baltimore. The shaped ones were awesome. Color changing, world cup balls, and colors I'd never seen before in a firework.
Doing some site redesign... yes I'm "vibecoding" it. sorry. This is just the "start this project" state. I don't even have git setup yet.
Caught the Blue Angels practice run today while touring the Tallships for Sail 250
5 hour sail from Annapolis -> Baltimore. Now for Toy Story 5 Oh and it's @shannonerickson.me and my 11 year anniversary! 🥂
First sail in over a year. Nymeria motored 27 miles to Annapolis on this light wind sunny day.
Meanwhile In Durango. It's just a cat... Relax.... Mountain Loin on the prowl.
This is our dock tonight. Loud noises, skin and "enhanced" humans. Listen to the sound of their competing mating calls.
The 🍆 boats are arriving for the Poker run. Be loud and be male or be naked Each engine retails for more than I bought my boat.
It is the way life goes. But SO much worse because we elected a dementia-ridden narcissist.
The last few days have really brought Nymeria back to life. I'd say she’s officially recommissioned. Yesterday we bent on the sails, and today the engine got a full maintenance run, flushing out the winterizing fluid and getting a fresh oil change. She fired right up with zero complaints.
Got a notification that my power was out at my house. I'm not there to validate, but it seems the whole town of Durango is out. outage.lpea.coop
I happened upon the Peabody Library in Baltimore today. This picture does not do it justice. The SMELL was the most incredible part to me. Just "old books" smell.
