Beautiful day for commencment 2023 in Grinnell.  I just wish Alina were here.  8^(

Been prompted to do this for a couple of weeks so I finally took-the-plunge. https://analytics.summittservices.com/index.php?module=CoreUpdater&action=newVersionAvailable.

Wow, that was way too easy. I wonder if it really worked?

I ran into a big road block with implementation of Pagefind in Rootstalk today… everything works fine in development, but I can’t easily deploy to Azure because there’s no way to “inject” Pagefind into an Azure Static Web App build before the “public” content gets deployed. I can generate the Pagefind parts after deployment, but that does me no good.

Tomorrow I need to have a look at my Rootstalk DigitalOcean deployment to see if what I already have might work there (DO uses a build script that I can add an npx... command to). If that fails I need to look back at https://www.blogtrack.io/blog/powerful-blog-setup-with-hugo-and-npm/ to see if there’s a solution there for me.

Mowing the lawn this evening and I’m happy to report that most of the weeds I treated last evening have curling leaves.  As Young Frankenstein might say… This could work!

Today I applied one bottle (29 oz.) of BioAdvanced™ Concentrate Season Long Weed Killer to my entire lawn in 9 applications using my Ryobi 1-gallon chemical sprayer. Mix was 3.5oz per tank with each application covering about 500 square feet.

We shall see how it performs. See https://bioadvanced.com/season-long-weed-control-for-lawns for more details.

Traveled to Iowa City to see Luis A. perform in a production of “Fathers and Sons” at the University of Iowa, part of the annual New Plays Festival there. Found a geocache outside the theatre after the show.

My back isn’t as sore this morning as I expected it might be. I did ref some middle school soccer matches last night on a VERY hard field at STC. Managed to trip over a sprinkler head that I don’t think has been “used” in years.

Camping at Clear Lake State Park and I have to admit it’s cold. My phone says the temp is 37°F and my little space heater appears to be broken. It gets warm but the fan doesn’t work so that’s all. Heading to the shower, then breakfast at TJs, then to Menards for a new space heater!

Departing for the PCA (Peoples’ Choice Awards) weekend in Clear Lake / Mason City. Got The Some IT in tow. First camping of the season.

Both my EGO self-propelled mower and old twin-over-full bunk bed sold and taken away today. Yay! Next up, The Rolling Stone camper and Ecotric eBike.
