Time to activate long dormant plans…
Yes, PN has had a retirement countdown timer running since the Fall of 2022. TS is ready. PN is ready. Release the hounds! Eventually, I might compile these 100-some-odd graffiti activities into an artwork. It's how I cope with the insanity of being a high school science teacher. PN.

Lush, heavy rain, and cooler than our last woodlot work-session.
Today will be an indoor session at Mountain Trout Camp (MTC). I’m looking forward to finding out how MS’s wolf-pack enjoy the canine treats (test version 1 and 2). TS wanted to ensure MS received the perishable chocolate-peanut-butter-banana-upside-down cake (as it’s still in its pan).
