It was awesome to see @davoh for a delicious coffee at Five Watt today! The conversation covered much ground and could have continued on if not for a lack of time. π€

Iβve never had an Apple TV require this Recovery Mode. It seems to be working fine to fix it.

This is a bit goofy but I like goofy. π

Pirates of the Spanish Main at Enigma Adventure
We capped off Mother’s Day with a trip to Enigma Adventures in Maple Grove to do their Pirates of the Spanish Main room. This room was the top recommendation of the folks that run Copper Cat Escape Games and it held up to the recommendation. The room has a wonderful mix of puzzles and multiple “reveals” that were very fun surprises. The pacing of the puzzles and challenges was good. With just the four of us we were challenged to keep the pace fast and sadly we didn’t get there in the 60 minute deadline, but we did finish just a minute or two past that.
We had previously done Istanbul Gambit at Enigma’s other location and they should get very high marks on how well these rooms are executed. They are very good, imaginative, and the mechanics are top notch. We gave Pirates a β β β β β rating for sure. It is also nice that they don’t make you sign waivers. They could do better with the overall ambiance and it feels like colocating with Whirly Ball isn’t pulling in visitors.
Highly recommend giving this room a go β we had a great time! Room 69!

We went to a live recording of The Object podcast at the MIA today. Dessa was the special guest discussing Salvador DalΓ and the surrealists. She is always engaging and entertaining.

Happy Motherβs Day to the βheart of our familyβ and most amazing of Momβs.

Moms are awesome β especially mine. Happy Motherβs Day! π

Upgraded one of my bikes with these awesome large Crank Brothers Stamps. Old pedals were too small.

Plant shopping at the Heart to Care Tanzania plant sale! If you are in the Twin Cities and want plants you can support a good cause at the same time. πΉπΏ
Thanks to the recent fix on micro.blog allowing blogs over 5G to export I got my first backup in 2 years and 4 months! My total backup is now 11.58 GB, and it seems in the last couple years I averaged 187.5 MB of additions a month. βΊοΈ

Excited to see the United play today β and even more excited to see Messi! GOAT! β½οΈ

We saw Secret Mall Apartment at the Zeitgeist Zinema in Duluth. Wild story.

Tammy instantly loved these paintings by Lissa Scotland from Duluth. We decided that these two are coming home with us. Beautiful.
Stop for delicious chocolate at Great Lakes Candy Kitchen.

This was a perfect spot to meditate for a few minutes.

Added 9 kWh at Gooseberry Falls while we were hiking around. Thank you Minnesota DNR!
