We moved into The Roundhouse Retreat tonight after spending the day getting the lawn ready for a week of being uncared for. Andrew came over to help load branches up in the 57 Chevy to haul out into my parents woods. We met Sam and Romy at the Roundhouse at 7pm, and spent the rest of the night catching up on each other's stories. We went to McCaffrey's Dolce Vita for dinner, and stayed up late talking and watching the storm.

I finished reassembling my BMW F800ST body after adding LED lights and some 3-D printed enclosures because of the added size needed to fit them. It seemed to be perfect. I had a 9am haircut with Amber and was so pleased to have short hair again. I stopped at Fat Pats for a Texas Sun Hazy IPA and a burger on my bike on the way home, working on my church readings for this weekend's outdoor service and reading the City of York history, which currently is dealing with the period between 1030-1040AD. I working on my poem "afloat" read by a ClipChamp AI voice, which told me a lot about how to rewrite it to sound the way I want it to flow. Perhaps I'll record it myself soon using what I've learned.

Rachel had her first History Alive performances of the summer in Red Wing tonight, and I simply cleaned the house until midnight. She got home near then and reported a successful day.
