Starting day 1 of the Micro.blog photo challenge while we are on a photo workshop in Banff. Day 1: Tree. πŸ“·

I added a Pellet Sensor to the Traeger this morning. Good confidence thing to have for long smoke sessions.

612 POAP Challenge: Collect them all!

Way back in the day I loved Geocaching. It was so much fun, particularly before it got commercialized. It was a way of exploring the area around you and finding cool, hidden things. πŸ—ΊοΈ

When I first found POAPs the capability to claim a POAP for a location was something I wanted right away, and now you can with location drops! I created my very first location POAP and even recorded a video claiming it. Awesome. I wanted to make something with this. πŸ€”

Then I connected the dots between the 612 Series NFTs which I have a complete collection of. You may remember I also interviewed Erik Halaas who created it. This was perfect – peanut butter and chocolate moment! ✨

Thus the 612 POAP Challenge was created! 😲

If you live in Minneapolis join in and go collect some of these locations. The event runs until Labor Day. I think this will be a fun summer activity! Get the whole family involved on some walks, bike rides, kayaks, and explore the city. I collected my first one this morning! 🧭

I love that I was able to create an entire activity on the POAP platform. 🀩

PS: Please spread the word to others so we can get a bunch of folks playing along!

Screen recording at Lake Harriet claiming the very first POAP of the 612 POAP Challenge!

Finished 4.05 mile walk in 73.1 minutes (18.05 min/mile). It was a delightful morning for a walk with great views and feats of strength. I also collected the very first POAP of the 612 POAP Challenge to officially kick off a summer project β€” see the moment! πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ

So I’m not sure how far around the lake this guy was going, but walking around 3 miles around a lake dragging a large tire behind you is next level. Impressive stuff! πŸ’ͺ

Nice morning to do some fishing on Lake Harriet.

Entropy is definitely losing at our house today:

βœ… Generator install completed
βœ… Carpet replacement completed

I find it ironic that I’ve got a lot of things going on and am struggling to find the time to read How to do Nothing by Jenni Odell. 😬

Ready for Game 4! Let’s repeat Game 3 Wolves!

A packed basketball arena with fans fills the stands as players warm up on the court under a large central scoreboard.

Let’s go Wolves! πŸ”₯πŸ€

The kids playing Kubb while we wait for our pizza. Playing with the custom set I won at the USA Kubb Championship.

Pizzas at Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm. Love the pizza farms!

Memorial Day Dairy Queen! 🍦

Delicious cortado at Little Joy Coffee in Northfield. β˜•οΈ

Two cups of coffee with latte art are served on wooden trays alongside glasses of water.

I’m not eager to have someone riding my bumper, but…

BACK OFF BUMPER HUMPER!!!
MY BREAKS ARE GOOD!
HOW ABOUT YOUR INSURANCE?

I’ve been using ChatGPT so much that I hit the limits on my Plus account. I’ve been getting so much value out of it I made the jump to ChatGPT Pro. I’m curious to explore some of the advanced features further. 🧠

I created my very first location-based POAP. Our “Peanuts Tree” is a popular spot on Cannon Lake and you can now mint a POAP if you visit it. I’m going to place a QR code by it so visitors can get more info. Will anybody do it? I don’t know, but it is fun either way. See screen recording of mint.
