a friend of mine is hiking the pct this season too. sounds like a good time of suffering and self discovery and whatnot.

I'm backpacking Enchanted Valley [olympic rainforest] tomorrow and the forecast shows two straight days of cold rain :|

yay for type 2 fun

Nice. I want to do some long through hike sometime. I did the ozette triangle today and it was :coal:.

Some unprepared couple urged us to turn back about halfway through because they had a hell of a time. They were clearly out of their element and we did the rest of the trail despite their warnings and it was just fine. Saw a bunch of black tail deer and a sea otter :3:

also saw a cavalcade of starlink satellites, twice. a tribute to musks hubris

I periodically get a wild hair and start looking at telescopes and even stuff like the little spotting scopes that you can hook an iphone camera into.

I don't wanna calculate the orbital period of binary stars or any wild poo poo like that but I would definitely like to see some saturn rings etc etc.

and man those superzoom cameras do a bang-up job of the moon

1k for that is stunning and would make galileo cry

i got a super cheap scope (like 90mm) with a tripod and in clear skies can get really cool views of planets and stuff (imo anyway). it's the nebulas and stuff which are hard to see and cost $$$$

I've been meaning to figure out if there's a smart/cheaper way of building a scope vs. buying one off the shelf. my dad used to make telescopes, ground the mirrors and everything, you needed to send them off to get metalized though and I dunno if those services are still around

I’m at the rugby game and talking to my other kid who doesn’t like sport and I was saying about how rugby son is super hesitant because he’s just recovered from a broken arm, last season he didn’t play cos broke collar bone twice in a row, and season before he played soccer (he got player of the year) so it’s been years since he’s played tackle rugby and he’s hesitant, and I was saying he just needs to get tackled a few times to realise it doesn’t hurt and then son goes “but it does hurt” and I thought about it and occurred to me that the difference is that yeah it hurts, it’s pain, but there is no suffering.

this is something on some levels I knew about coz a principle in meditation is trying come to a place where pain etc doesn’t cause suffering.. and now I’ve just realised a lot of that happens in sport

my boss left last month and my company is so huge and old that they have completely lost track of my team since we're all wfh, and the stakes have never been lower. it owns.
