I'm fortunate enough to have regular "cheer me up" occurrences. Harvesting my garden garlic yesterday was my most recent. Drying for a few weeks in my carport. Hardneck variety.

About 75 bulbs. If I dry them correctly, they'll keep 'til Christmas, anyway.
Plant them on Halloween. They sprout, and then winter over just fine. Growth starts up again in February.
July harvest. From Boise, Idaho.

Yesterday I was changing the tube in a MLG tire on a Cessna 150 and found that due to the design of the wheel it is very hard to get the valve stem up where you can access it. There is not enough of the valve stem sticking up to enable you to grab it and pull it out far enough to put air in it, which will cause it to pop up into position.
I pointed this problem out to the A&P I was helping and he went and got a special tool that screws onto the valve stem and enables you to pull it up.
Then I got to thinking. Back around 1986 the elderly lady I lived next door to gave me a box if stuff she was throwing out. The biggest item was an old black dial telephone. But there was also a small box with three valve extenders in it. People used to screw them on the valve stem in cases where the wheel or hubcap limited you access to the stem. I looked around today and found that little box of valve stem extenders. They should be perfect the next time I need to handle that problem.
I can't tell you what I got for Christmas most years but that little box of valve stem extenders came down through the years intact and just in time.

Saw Neowise comet last night. With zero light pollution around the pit it was pretty impressive. Hoping it holds out until I get home and am able to photograph it

Shoot me your address and leave some on your front porch and I'll be over to pick it up in a short while
Smoker hasn't been used in a while, smoked pulled pork sandwiches sounds good right about now.
Did an acoustic gig with my band yesterday. In a garden, nicely outside with the public listening with a beer or wine on their balcony, totally corona proof. Was great to be out and performing again.

Earlier today, I stopped alongside the road to enjoy the sunset. I watched a Squadron of dragonfly flying low over the wet prairie. It was half an hour or so before sunset and they were approaching from the west, toward me, using the sun to blind their mosquito prey. These were fairly large dragonfly, with wing spans of about 4". Combat cruise is about 20 mph, with Vmax of 32 mph in level flight. They have no restrictions on maneuver, and design load factor is 30G at 1.5 grams. They routinely pull 20G in flick maneuvers and break turns, just for fun. The dance of their flight was beautiful, and the sun glinting off of their wings and bodies was a light show. It was very relaxing, and I found myself smiling.
