Nice spot to watch the sun coming up over Lake Superior and enjoy my morning coffee.
We stopped at Love Creamery in Duluth after dinner at OMC Smokehouse. It was our first time trying their ice cream and we were very impressed. The Salted Peanut Butter & Jelly was amazing. We also had Nutella and Salted Caramel. 🍦
We had a delicious lunch at Home Plate Grill in Red Wing today. The Dugout burger was a great rendition of a smashburger. And the pretzel is giant and very good! 🥨
Had a fun family hike on Barn Bluff trail in Red Wing, MN today. We took the South Trail up and the Midland Trail offshoot on the way down. A bit over 300 feet of elevation gain.
Tonights plan: Old Fashioned and Romeo y Julieta. 🥃
Time to play some Kubb at Birchwood Acres! Lake Pepin in the background.
I created an official Olson Family Vacation 18 POAP token!
POAP 1068867 at Olson Family Vacation 18.
Tammy made a themed scavenger hunt / puzzle for Olson Family Vacation 18. One clue for each year. Everyone had to think hard. Each family won a custom Wicky Thing candle when they discovered the answer, and presents for the kids.
Women’s Soccer is coming to the Twin Cities! ⚽️ I love that this is being openly funded on Wefunder. You can buy a share for $25! Join me as a community owner! $581,253 raised so far.
I decided to try a subscription to Sam Harris so that I can get full episodes of the Making Sense podcast. In addition to previous episodes, his 4-hour conversation with Balaji Srinivasan, The Reckoning to Come, got me to pull the trigger.
Mazie made a Peach Melba Pie today. “I’M A PIE” 🤤🥧
We went to Canterbury Park to watch some horse racing today. We didn’t know it, but they also had Basset Hounds racing for fun which was a blast to watch.
Race 3 featured Bit Coiner. Bit Coiner won the race. An omen, HODL your Bitcoin!
After our visit to Saratoga Race Course I understood much more what was happening and how to read all the information.
We went to the Minnesota State Fair today. My brother and his family were in town and we decided to go early so that we could avoid as much of any crowd as possible. We started at 8am and left around noon. It was fun to do some of our normal traditions, and there weren’t that many people at that time.
After months of little to no rain, it comes in buckets.
Just helped my brother escape his overpriced and bloated hosted email service and move his custom domain and all saved mail to Fastmail. 🤩
We visited the Van Gogh Experience and we all enjoyed it. It is an immersive experience built on Van Gogh’s artwork. I found it very captivating and engaging. My only complaint was the lack of seating. It was a long time to sit on a cement floor. I might consider going again and watching it a couple of times.
I’m a huge fan of Cook. Crazy big pay day. $750M. 💰
Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, received more than 5m shares in the firm and sold most of them, pocketing over $750m this week. The stock grant—part of a compensation package set in 2011—was contingent on the tech firm meeting various financial targets, which it did. Under Mr Cook’s tenure, Apple’s market capitalisation has risen more than seven-fold. — Economist Espresso, Saturday, August 28.
