The motordrive does not disable the crank, so you could use either method.

Easter cookies are made for the granddaughters.

Tomorrow morning I am making an Easter Dirt Cake. It's supposed to be warm here tomorrow so a refrigerator cake will be just right for the occasion.

Got some new beans in from Sweet Maria's today. These ones were grown in Colombia. First cup in the morning.

Mary Lou and Gary gave up sweets for Lent (Cook gave up chocolate). Tomorrow, Mary Lou and Gary would stack those fine looking cookies as tall as we could stack ... then eat every, single, one of them ... without stopping.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Another day, another cup of Jon's merveilleux beans. Yesterday, Gary labored in the afternoon, grubbing, digging, measuring, more digging, cutting, assembling, more cutting, reassembling, measuring all the piping for the new pond pump. He is about 80% completed. All the is required now is final gluing of all the pipe and fittings, the connection to the pump. He does have some concerns regarding the outflow. As this pump is more powerful than the former pump, he has a suspicion that the new pump will drown the waterfall and he will have to redirect the water directly into the pond. Gary is planning a ceremony in the afternoon to christen the launching of the new pump with champagne. The champagne will most likely kill the fish.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Yesterday was long, exhausting but all worth the effort. Family and guests over for a Easter ham dinner. Gary made one of his best flatbreads ever, tons of food and great wines. The back yard is in great shape with everything blooming, verdant with millions of butterflies and hummers. Gary wished you guys live out here.

Enjoy your trip. That must be one of the worst bokeh Gary has seen.

Champagne is wasted on the fish. Wave the bottle over the pump mechanism, give it a gentle tap to let it know it's been baptized, open the bottle, and proceed to imbibe the blessings. At least, that's what I would do.

Lol, only reason I posted it. I've seen better bokeh from a 500mm reflex yakasheeta lens....

Well...I'm officially looking for a new job. The board of ed will be non-renewing my contract (along with 4 of my fellow teachers) at tomorrow night's board meeting. Sigh.

Upward and onward. I'll be applying for other teaching jobs, but it might be time to leave the profession. I have a feeling I can probably make more money doing other things, even with my oddly specific specialization.
