Trying breakfast at Buzzard Billy’s before “Ain’t Too Proud” this afternoon.

Driving home from a few days at Univ. of South Dakota in Vermillion last evening and stopped at Justin’s house in M-town to meet his parents and grandmother, plus Deb & Doug. We left there about 8:30 or so and I took the old Lincoln Highway into town to avoid deer along the road on the shorter rural route.

We nearly got hit by an impaired driver (?) when turning on to Center Street just south of the Hy-Vee / Taco John’s intersection. Fortunately for us, a large SUV (Suburban?) took the force of the impact while vehicles and debris flew all around us. Nobody was injured and there’s not a scratch (that we can see) on the new Kia, but we didn’t get home until a little after 10 PM.

Do we get extra IHG (Holiday Inn) bonus points for living through the 2 AM false fire alarm last night? NOT FUN. Hope I can drive home this afternoon without falling asleep.

Arrived in Vermillion, South Dakota, last evening about 6:30 PM and went straight to dinner at the “Old Lumber Company” downtown. Checked in to our hotel adjacent to the Univ. of South Dakota campus at about 7:15 PM and went to find the music department building (the fine arts center) where Christine will be taking classes for the rest of the week.

While she’s in class I’ll be working from my hotel room here, or maybe from the USD library.

Arrived at Fisherman’s Corner campground in Hampton, IL, on Thursday evening and went on my first Iowa.LandShark geo-bike ride yesterday. Somewhere between 18-22 miles of geocaching along the Mississippi River from Moline to Davenport and Rock Island. Open my track log to see where Gossamar and I went.

This morning I found some new Streamlit resources from developer Jcharis, and I forked his Jcharis/Streamlit_DataScience_Apps to make my own copy at SummittDweller/Streamlit_DataScience_Apps

Now I’m going to try and get the component Simple_CRuD_Blog_App_with_Streamlit working locally as a proof-of-concept. Since I can’t “clone” the single project repo, and a “sparse checkout” seems wasteful since I’ll never push back to the original project, I’m going to git init an entirely new local named simple-CRuD-blog-app-with-streamlit and just copy/paste the contents.

It works!

I’ve got Mackenzie looking at Streamlit as a means of building a mobile-friendly app that I can use to create posts like this one. That app will need to allow me to edit a TITLE and Markdown BODY fields, capture location and time, and post all of that information to my personal blog… preferably from my cell phone. I’ve captured some possible resources and guidance in https://www.one-tab.com/page/71iaDADxT-eLEOx15qeVnQ.

Went to the elementary early this evening and sprayed Weed-B-Gone around the bench and area. I hope it knocks the remaining weeds there back. There was no wind and no rain thus far, so I hope it works.

Staying this weekend in a Marriott in Owensboro, Kentucky, for GeoWoodstock 2023. Headed to Louisville in the morning for some oldies.

This morning I was dealing with the 1965 edition of the Grinnell College yearbook, Cyclone 1965, in Digital.Grinnell. That’s a monster of a yearbook, 278 pages and a .pdf that’s almost 1.4 GB in size.

In order to get the .pdf to upload I tried a number of tricks, the only one that worked was a modification of Book Ingest in Digital.Grinnell The key command was…

docker cp "/mnt/storage/Yearbooks/Cyclone 1965/lib_1965cycloneyearbook_0002.pdf" isle-apache-dg:/var/www/sites/default/files/book.pdf
