relo to kaibob, wildfire, staying positive

relo while feeling icky

The new site is in the Kaibob not so far away.¹ Still upwind from the fire in Flagstaff so with any luck no evac will be required.

I was feeling a bit rough the past two days before the relo, sapped with some runny nose and slight headache.. I thought it could be the massive pollen dump (see above), heat, dehydration, etc. Turns out I have Covid (see pic). The test says it takes 15-30mins and results can be faint, but this was was quite clear in just a couple mins. “Dude, you have every Covid.”

the little router that could

I have zero bars of TMO at the new location but the LTE router grabs enough signal to pull down email and do light reading:

Note 0 bars on the phone but pulling down data at 131KB/s. Not gonna stream Netflix anytime soon but should be able to follow wildfire news.

cold coffee

Because of rising temps I’ve started my summer coffee habit: making cold-brew in the fridge.

2.5c water
39g coffee (three heaped scoops)

store in fridge overnight
