LavaCon 2025

I spoke at the LavaCon this week. My presentation was very well received. There were well over 100 folks who chose to attend my presentation. It was good to enjoy some brief moments with a llama as part of the conference. And it was good to meet up with lots of folks I have got to know over the years.

These pics are from a llama walk a couple of weeks back.


We have been eating a fair amount of our own food lately. We get eggs from the chickens (about 4 a day). We still have some pork in the freezer. Now we are getting lettuce, zuchini and green peppers from the garden. Bonnie has been picking a lot of berries too. We have had several awesome fruit salads with our own blueberries and raspberries. The stuff we grow and raise at home tastes so much better, even lettuce.

I went to a few auctions this weekend. I probably spent too much, but I had a good time. I also have some regrets on a couple of items I did not bid on. I ended up with:

  • Three antique seltzer bottles
  • Some junk, I mean real junk mixed in with some good stuff (cheaper than a dumpster)
  • A pressure washer that uses compressed air and a water hose (works ok)
  • A kerosene lantern
  • I very nice soup tureen that Bonnie does not like. (I am going to have to move it on ebay)

I am probably forgeting something. My father was in town. He brought me a Tektronic 735 oscilliscope. I think the time base is screwed up though.
