Didn’t use my Yahoo! account for anything but deleted it if only to protest this.

Panorama inside the mirror maze at Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Very cool.
Just finished Watson Adventures scavenger hunt at Art Institute of Chicago! Fun time and we won! The “Mighty Minnesota Muggles” took first!
Really wish iOS could print to a PDF and then send the file via a share sheet.
Cannon Lake Flooded and Boat Floats Away
Cannon Lake flooded bringing the water level well above the dock. I was very happy that we had a Floe aluminum dock and it is fine being completely submerged. When we arrived at the lake everyone was shocked at the level of the water. What shocked me was the fact that our pontoon was nowhere to be seen! We keep it on Sealegs and the water had risen enough that it lifted up and floated away. I was panicking and went into the water and thought I was walking along the dock and proceeded to walk right off the dock and go all the way in the lake. Yuck.
After regaining my composure we spotted the pontoon. It had floated all the way across the lake and was on the other side along the shore. Now to get it back. The first thought was to drive over, bushwack through the land and get to the boat. I made it about 50 feet and realized that wasn’t going to be easy. The ground was muddy and sloppy, and impossible to get through. We needed a different plan.
This time we were smarter. We got the kayaks out and paddled over to the boat. Once there, boarded it, raised the legs and drove it back to shore to wait out the flooding.

Stylist application to allow people to create a profile and allow a stylist to custom pick wardrobes. Minnesota based retailer. Allow stylist to see purchases and wishlist items to further refine recommendations. Interesting idea.

Great time watching The Okee Dokee Bros at Prairie Burn Music Festival!
Enjoying this music festival a lot. Recommended, especially for families!

Just got every Iconfactory iMessage sticker pack. Just ‘cus it’s fun.
Amazing response to Fidget Cube on Kickstarter! I ordered some. 😊
Siri can send a message using LinkedIn (please never do this) but can’t add a task to OmniFocus. Ugh. 👎🏻
Sadly, Siri on iOS 10 doesn't support To Do apps like @OmniFocus yet, just 6 other kinds of apps: https://t.co/wKtomdSnT3

Bad behavior from Dropbox. I’m also seeing HipChat has gotten a similar privilege somehow.

Ugh.. The dual camera in the iPhone 7+ has me stuck in indecision. 😕
Progress on horseshoe pits! Still to do: putting them in the ground, sand, and throwing platform decks on.
