Testing IFTTT connection to DayOne…

Daughter turned 20 today! 😳🤯😍

Can’t believe how quickly the years went by. It seemed like yesterday when she was just a little baby.

There is this whole galaxy out there for us to explore.

Lot of cool engineering in this astro imaging setup including the use of masking tape to attach the raspberry pi unit to the mount.

Feedly or Feeder?

Tiles of art made by my kids in elementary school about a decade ago still hangs on my wall.

Ziplining in rain, foggy Costa Rican rainforest was such a blast. Want to do this again.

At our last Eastern Connecticut Conference swim meet. Can’t believe this is the sixth year for us with 2 kids competing in high school swimming.

Sometimes solitude is therapeutic and is exactly what one needs.

Venus Jupiter conjunction

After missing the closest approach yesterday, I was relieved that I caught some break in the clouds to view the Venus and Jupiter conjunction.

The cloud bands added a nice glow to the planets. The Gallelian moons Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa are seen above Jupiter and Io is on the other side.

Airplanes kept photobombing while I was shooting Venus and Jupiter.

Caught Jupiter and Venus conjunction tonight through a break in cloudy weather.

Yes!

I have been using Obsidian for about 6 months or so to keep track of my cycling, astrophotography and some financial information. With the use of tags, starting to see interesting patterns in the graph view. I am really enjoying how this is shaping up and hope this continues.

Nothing… I mean nothing says secure better than duct tape.

March is National Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Awareness Month. For those over 45, screening for colorectal cancer (colonoscopy) is a good idea.

As I am getting older, it seems like this whole idea of ‘mindful living’ or ‘living in the moment’ is getting easier. For one, my memory is shot; can’t remember anything. And with diminished cognitive abilities, I can only focus on one thing that is at hand at any given time.

Expecting more snow tonight into tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Want to use my snowshoes for a hike, for the first time this season.

Moon, Jupiter and Venus

Moon, Jupiter and Venus in the western sky. Couldn’t catch them when they were closer to each other a couple of days ago. In the third photo, the moons of Jupiter can be seen if you zoom in.
