After a day off, my knee seems good. Pushed the distance a little to explore the peninsula on the lake and seemingly public road. That m area seems disserted. Overall, the breeze helped out a lot 🥵
Argh, watch tells me I’m overtraining. 3 days running seems okay though. Physical therapst says daily running is something I could work up to even with #LongCovid, but that seems out of rea…

Youtube comment handling is so annoying.
HRCC talked about Field Day, including some mention of CW. So I mentioned my Morse Walker Field Day simulator work, and Josh pinned my comment.
I have now twice posted followup comments mentioning QRZ and my call sign, hoping that people can find the simulator from my QRZ page, without posting a link, and Youtube keeps silently deleting the comments. Argh.
I have no idea what it is triggering on.
Meanwhile,

argh falsch geklickt und 80 Browsertabs auf dem Handy gelöscht 😡😤😔😢

Argh. Ice kann in S (Startbahnhof) nicht abfahren, weil der Lokführer in einem verspäteten Zug sitzt. Prognose: 30.

Bin offenbar langsam mit der Erkenntnis, aber merke nun dass einige meiner abonnierten Podcasts sogar neue Folgen haben, aber nur noch exklusiv als Audio-On-Demand auf der #ARDaudiothek-Seite. Argh! Wer denkt sich das aus?
Aber dafür gibt es dieses tolle Tool:

argh! EBSCO macht jetzt offenbar auch einen auf Proquest. Download ist nur für einzelne Kapitel möglich, nach 100 Seiten ist Schluss. Das ist alles schon einigermaßen mühsam.

argh, I thought it was 12 (not 11) and ate my lunch sandwich 🥪

Why do I keep doing these things to myself? "[WARNING]: Collection community.vmware does not support Ansible version 2.16.14" Argh.

Argh! Hätte man das nicht noch 4 Sekunden kürzen können?

Argh.Offensichtlich gibt es in den nächsten zwei Wochen Bauarbeiten der DB InfraGo zwischen Freiburg und Waldkirch, Gundelfingen wird teilweise nicht angefahren, Freiburg teilweise auch nicht. "Informieren Sie sich im Internet" - nur weiß bahn.de unter Verkehrsmeldungen von nichts, da stehen nur die zahlreichen Ausfälle rund um die S21-Baustelle.
(P.S.: Unter "Baustellen" stehen die Infos, unter "Verkehrsmeldungen" (noch) nicht ...)

$CAD1100 is a lot to spend on just a couple items, but I guess in the grand scheme of making a pond/pool that will completely transform our backyard, it's not crazy. This about equals the amount spent ($1200 iirc) to rent the digger last Labour Day weekend. The liner and underlay fabric was another $3000. So we're looking at about $5500 so far for the project as a whole. Still better (including for the ecosystem!) than your average $50,000 in-ground pool install. ;=D
I realized last night that I bought the wrong pumps (DCT vs DCP argh). One of those “oh that's cheaper than I thought it would be” moments... followed by... “oh crap.”
I'll send the previous pumps back immediately upon arrival.
It's ok though, these will be two 20,000L/h variable pumps. The entire pond/pool system should be no more than 23,000L. My biggest rookie mistake with the #pandemicpond in the front yard was too small a pump. I rectified that when I added the bog filters there.
So I'm overbuilding this time. I should be able to run them at low-speed/power for the same amount of flow. Which will be better for pump longevity and power over time.
Also got main piping for the system: 50ft of 2" flexible PVC (Schedule 40). This will move water from the intake bay (behind the tree) to the bog filter (in front of the tree) and connect to smaller diameter piping/valves/fittings for sprayers in the pool.
This should be the end of the big-ticket items. The rest will be a LOT of little stuff: electrical, piping, and a lot of rock. Probably another $1000-$1500 to go, all should be local, and some of it can be put off until next year if needed.
It took a few tries on the Bezos Site, but I managed to find a supplier within Canada to avoid tariffs on any of it because Tariff-flation is definitely a thing! (American .com store essentially doubled the cost!)
So ya, you can hashtag this #tariffs #TariffLife #TheAmericanFascist and #TrumpTariffs
