Made some good progress on the wiring for the network closet!
The plumber finished installing the meters and hooking up the fire sprinklers!
I filled up some pitchers and pots of water since I knew the plumer would be disconnecting the water today and it did pay off, I was able to make lunch despite there being no running water in the house most of the day.
We *finally* got a crew willing to bring the fridge upstairs!
Finished all the coax connections!
Finished the network closet and got the new switches up and running!
I'm testing some fruit leather recipes. The only fruit is apples, and I added some sour apple flavoring and citric acid.

The one on the left is just apples and flavoring.

The middle one I added vegetable glycerin. It thickens it up a lot, it's still leathery but has more heft to it. It's also a little easier to chew.

The one on the right has vegetable glycerin as well as pea protein powder. The pea protein gives it some real substance, and also turns it from leathery to more like a jelly candy. I wouldn't describe it as fruit leather, but it's a really good snack still.
look how official! Now we have a wired fire alarm system!
This week's CSA

wired up the water meters today! Unfortunately I can't actually test them because there's no power in the water room yet.

Listened to “Air-Borne” with Carl Zimmer on 99% Invisible. It was a great introduction to our growing understanding of airborne viruses and the importance of cleaning the air, much like we clean the water.

The profit margin on our clothing is so low, no matter how hard I work, it feels like I get nowhere!
