mystery attractor in A's field
Tuesday, December 16 2025
My cough grew slightly more persistent overnight, though I found I was coughing almost nothing up. Occasionally a tiny divot of phlegm would be dislodged, and that was about it.
Gretchen decided to try out a new pilates venue at around noon today, and that caused her to drive west on Route 28 somewhere. Afterwards she went to the cineplex (at what remains of the Hudson Valley Mall, I think) to re-watch Wicked: For Good, which she really likes.
Meanwhile I thought it was prudent to gather some more firewood even if I was a little under the weather. I decided to make it easy for myself by just collection already-bucked pieces from near where the Woodshed Path reaches the Stick Trail, only a couple hundred feet south of the house. Working with wood when there is snow on the ground is always a pain, though, because the snow ends up stuck to the wood and must be scraped off. This is particularly true of the ends of the pieces places in the snow prior to splitting.
While I was doing these things, Charlotte and even Neville kept vanishing. Using the tracker, I saw Charlotte was going to an overgrown area at the south edge of the large field between our house (and the Farm Road) and A's house (the field is property belonging to A). I went into this field and followed the dog's tracks in the snow expecting to coupon a delicious deer carcass or something, but I was unable to find anything.
When I inevitably got hungry, I made some rice in the InstantPot and broke into a prepared packet of Indian food, in this case a black dahl curry.
Later, after we'd watched Jeopardy! and Pluribus, I returned to my I2C slave code to implement a serial parser I'd had ChatGPT write for me. I included all the code, but I will probably have to build a custom device just to send it test data.
