Big, solid monsoon thunderstorm over town right now, with weather service warning of flooding for the next couple of hours. Time to hunker in with a coffee.

I’m watching “A Quiet Place” and the sound editing makes it utterly gripping.

Monsoon season afternoon coffee time!

Coffee and Switch time to start my weekend.

Sunrise, on my way very early this morning.

Monsoon season! With a beer on the porch. This feels pretty okay.

I have lately been really loving this espresso roast from Spotted Cow Coffee in Seattle – sent to me as a gift. It makes a great espresso, and the cappuccino I make with it tastes like candied blueberries. So great and delicious.

Breakfast! Tamales at the Sunday community market.

My wife got me a turntable for a Father’s Day present. I’ve accrued a small set of albums in the last few years but haven’t actually had a turntable since playing on my dad’s when I was a kid. I am utterly and inexplicably cheered by playing records again.

Working on a new measure of summer weekend quality: ratio of sunscreen applications to showers. This weekend is about a 2.0, which seems solid, but the metric needs further validation before we put it into prod.
