Errr...

Perfect, no notes

Today's progress in Project Workshop Density: installed some overhead storage hooks for long things, so that they finally aren't in my way anymore; and installed an auto-retracting hose spool for my compressed air onto the ceiling.

Also worked on the plant tables a bit; cut and added all the ledges that the 'floor' planks will rest on. Assuming it's sufficiently dry tomorrow, I might assemble and install them outside tomorrow! Can't do that in the garage, because once fully assembled they won't fit through a doorway anymore.

I've snapped some crappy (because lack of daylight) pictures of the in-progress woodworking project! As well as the little spacer tool I made to ensure the planks are at the correct distance from each other, and will match up at the ends.

I now have four of these 'half tables', that will then be transported outside and combined per two into a whole table, adding the two missing legs. That's why the spacing is important - it needs to match between all of them, or the point where they get joined won't line up!

Today's workshop improvements! Reused an empty 3D printing filament spool as a spool for the long extension card in the garage, installed some hooks to hang my (non-electric) scooter on (finally, it's no longer in my way!), and finally added some nonslip tape to a working surface so that I can safely put stationary tools on it without them moving around and without having to bolt them down permanently.

A bad picture of an excellent, cheap-and-easy-but-healthy snack: home-pickled carrot. Or at least, it's easy if you have an electric grater!

Ingredients are grated carrot, about 1/5th vinegar, 4/5th water, a few crushed 'sugar' cubes (actually stevia/erythritol cubes), some chili pepper flakes and miscellaneous green herbs (chives and basil, this time). Total cost is like, 1.50 EUR? For a batch that'll last me for 5-10 of the pictured servings.

Mix into food storage container (one of those glass IKEA things with a plastic lid with silicone seal ring, in my case), let sit in fridge for a few hours, done!

Today's dinner; almost entirely vegan, though my burger (out of 4) has dairy cheese rather than vegan cheese. Contains mushrooms, onion, bellpepper, cucumber, some chard leaf from my own garden(!), and a nice well-spiced sauce!

Gardening update! Over the past weeks I've been slowly planting various things, and organizing my backyard.

Well, which is it, AliExpress?

These are tomato seedlings, right? I'm not missing something? Could they possibly be something else, like a weed?

(I ask because these are showing up in areas that I *definitely* didn't sow tomato seeds in, nor any similar plants...)

#gardening

Many of my plants seem to be doing pretty well so far!

I think my newly set up greenhouses are working

Lipton has not run out of ways to disappoint me, yet

Further progress on front garden! It's almost done now.

My paint tubes are now nicely stored alongside the rest of my everything :)

I've also hacked together a rough dirt sieve from skewers and metal wire, to remove branches and roots and such from soil before I reuse it for something else

Today, I've made a Gridfinity paint tube holder, for the cheap tubes of paint sold at Action (that still didn't have a place of storage here)

Invasive vine deletion in progress...

Hm. Which of these two is the Cybertruck?

The adopted strawberry plants seem pretty happy with their new home!
