Edina Art Fair

We made a quick visit to the Edina Art Fair after we finished packing for our trip to Ireland and heading to the airport. It was fun to get to see the art even if it was a bit hurried. Artists that caught our eye included:

Tammy liked this sculpture “Willie Fly” and decided it should find a home with us. Very cool.

Auto-generated description: A wooden figurine of a man with raised arms is displayed on a window seat in front of a window with wooden framing.

Soon we start our trip to Ireland and I thought it would be fun to make a POAP for it. DALL-E got me started and I finalized it. I think it would be fun to share this with people we meet on our trip. We’ll see if I actually do it but I’m ready when the opportunity arises!

See list of POAPs.

I’m giving micro.blog’s new audio narration feature a try. I used the new Zoom H1 Essential to record and added narration to my First Coffee in 54 Days post, and Tiny Theme added support just in time.

A dozen bikes parked in the garage today. 🚲

Tammy and I have a highly optimized team approach to making smash burgers. It is a complex choreography that ends with delicious burgers. This years Blackstone upgrade added air fryer so tater tots and french fries now included! It was five years ago we made these for the first time. Our technique is much better!
