NOTE prompt │ What will you remember most about Summer 2026 as we move into fall in 9 days? #prompt grass ───── This was the summer we said “to heck with the homeopathic weeks killers” and turned our weedy lawn to a sparsely grassed lawn. I think some fall weed and feed and we will be looking thick next year. bike rides ────────── This was the summer wyatt upgraded from a kids bike to a full 21 speed adult bike, moms bike 😉. He immediately learned how and when to shift it and started doing 12mi (round trip) rides with me to the local coffee shop and back. shows ───── This year we did wonka, newsies, and imagine a dragon next weekend. It’s been fun building out a community of friends in the theater community. We were very heavily involved in the set build for all of them. They are so fun to build out and problem solve how to build with what we got. I appreciate being able to build really cool things with someone else’s budget, and actually a not unlimited budget probably makes it better anyways. There’s an art and creativity from having constraints to build with what you got and. Not just anything. new tools ───────── Our tools coming up on 16 years old were still working great, but the 12v line just did not have enough oompf to drive 6" lag screws deep across 4x4’s. We had a few times were we couldn’t disassemble set when they were drove through knots. We ended up with two of the best top of the line drivers that are quieter and more powerful than any other. They work so well at high power jobs. They don’t disrupt practice quite as heavily when we are doing last minute adjustments while the kids are in full dress rehearsal. blog ──── A shift is happening from writing tech how to articles to life. There’s always been life here, just a lot less. There is a shift happening with AI and agents that it just does all of the things I had to spend a lot of time to learn and write about on my own. There’s been a lot less tech to write about. In a way it’s hard to formulate thoughts about things in a way to write things down as effectively as I used to at the pace things are moving. At the pace things get built. At the pace everything feels like it changes.
