22:43 Well, after dismantling what felt like 40% of my whole motorcycle, cleaning & reassembling my ignition cylinder, it still wouldn’t turn on. #
22:46 Randomly jiggling wires and putting everything back together in a last-ditch hope I might avoid chasing an electrical problem did work! Yay! #

19:46 Note to anyone who may ever sing the US national anthem at any event: your artistic interpretation and tonal improvisations are not welcome. #

18:21 MN Twitter folk: I need a tree trimmed. Can you recommend any good and/or cheap trimmers of trees? #
21:19 Just went through some periodic maintenance on my motycycle. Must learn more about that. And get a stool to sit on! #

16:18 I must buy a beer at The Happy Gnome at 5:30 tonight. Who else shall bear this burden? #
07:00 Up early. Cat things tended to, guest-dog fed, now getting ready for a 20-mile bike to the MPLS farmer’s market. Later: my cousin’s wedding. #
10:41 Had a great ride to the market and back. Sitting on the porch listening to music and the birds. It’s a fucking good morning. #

17:02 Packets have a never-ending supply of energy and never get bored traveling in circles through fiber in tunnels under the streets of St Paul. #
18:00 It’s very eerie to see people out and about in St Paul at 1800. #
18:31 I’d like to check the Obama rally out, but my ability to convert and compare a 10+ block-long line to people to capacity at the X is broken. #
