The World is Waiting by The Long Honeymoon
My friend Lee Zukor has been playing in The Long Honeymoon for a while. Sadly Tammy and I have not made it to one of their shows, yet, but a couple days ago I got an email that their first album was out. I checked out “The World is Waiting” and liked it a lot so I bought a copy on Bandcamp.
We all listened to it twice on our drive this weekend up and down the North Shore. We thought it had a distinctly Minneapolis sound. It gave us Jayhawks, Gear Daddies, Honeydogs kind of notes at times. Jangly with good hooks. 🎶 Grab a copy and give it a listen!
Before we departed and went our separate ways we setup the Kubb pitch by the PIer B parking lot and showed my brother and family how to play. We put the first grass stains on the new set from JP’s Backyard Games. Everyone had a great time! Kubb for the win!
Tooling around in Duluth on bikes a bit.
100 TON mooring bollard in Duluth Harbor.
Delicious coffee this morning at 190° Coffee & Tea with Isaiah.
Sunrise on Duluth Harbor. I thought it was cool how the blue in the sky came out as the sun went up.
We had a great hike on the Oberg Mountain Loop. This is Tammy’s sister’s favorite fall hike and it was our first time doing it. I can see why it is so highly recommended. Sadly the Maple’s had nearly all lost their leaves but the Birch were still doing their thing. Highly recommended!
Delicious non-alcoholic beer from Untitled Art. Wow!
I always make a stop at the Lake Superior Trading Post.
Beautiful morning in Grand Marais at the lighthouse.
Group photos on Artist’s Point and Grand Marais Lighthouse.
On Artists Point in Grand Marais. Today’s meditation spot.
Starting our day on the North Shore with my brother and his family with some World’s Best Donuts.
In Duluth at Wild State Cider. Delicious cider. Amazing Wrecktangle pizza. One of the best pretzels we’ve had. And crazy good Creemee’s to end with. Wow!
Tammy and I saw Mumford & Sons for the second time tonight and for the second time they were incredible live. We like their music but there is something about the energy they bring on stage that is so powerful. The setlist was great. I loved the aesthetic and how they had it all setup. 🎶
Recording in triplicate.
Plausible Analytics Plug-in for Micro.blog
I’ve been using Plausible Analytics for over a year and have been using the Plausible Analytics Plug-in created by @lukas to add it to my blog. It hasn’t been updated for a long time and the embed code, while still working, is very outdated. I finally decided to take a few minutes to fork that plug-in and create my own Plausible Analtyics 2 for micro.blog.
It now uses the current code snippet and also sports a Plausible icon as well. Plus, I now have a plug-in in the directory. If you use Plausible Analytics on micro.blog I would definitely suggest switching.
At the Minnesota Card Show Pokémon event today with Tyler and saw the most expensive thing we’ve ever seen at a card show — $100,000 for the sealed Pokémon Base Set Shadowless Booster Box.
Team Red, White, and Blue out running the Twin Cities Marathon this morning!
Friends of ours host a Marathon Party every year right around Mile 8 as the course goes along Minnehaha Creek. They put out a big speaker and play Jump Around on repeat for about an hour. It is awesome!
