Wait, there are more (oh-so-cute) pics from yesterday before I chased Rudy out of the box.
yarn: (1) a continuous strand of twisted fibers used in weaving or knitting, (2) a narrative of adventures.
Today's Produce Box with changes (Okui Strawberries, of course).
Sheesh, can't leave an empty box unattended for even a moment.
Finished Stephen King's "Holly", I read half of the book as an e-book and listened to the last half.

Wet-finished several Potholders.
Color Catchers are a weaver's friend.
Yesterday The Man journeyed through the Port of LA after leaving Redondo Beach.
He tied up to a Public Dock for lunch, texted me a pic of his location, and gave me a call.

Last year I tried out a 3-months free trial to Kindle Unlimited but after paying for the fourth month I cancelled. Since my new Kindle came with 3-months free membership I opted in so that I could finish the series I started. It's a Kindle book with Audible Narration, I listened to it.

The Man and Nell are cruising Southern California, instead of the usual fishing trip to the Channel Islands they turned the bow southward.
The first night was spent anchored off Paradise Cove. The pic on the left is Paradise Cove as seen from Nell, the pic on the right is Nell taken from the dinghy.

I aid the journey with logistical support.
As I was binding off the last row on the 10" potholder I found a mistake, a skip.
Only one thing to do: I unwove the whole thing and started again.
Weaving with a little loom, simple weaving, is the best.
I finished reading Douglas Preston's book, "Extinction" on the Kindle yesterday.
Then the Kindle died.
I think for an e-device it had a good run - it was purchased 8/14/2015 - almost 9 years of daily use.
My replacement Kindle arrives on Tuesday, I hope it lasts as long (or longer).
The Man and I went to downtown SLO to the Apple Store to get a new iPhone for me. Much to my relief I didn't need to get a new phone instead they could repair my 2022 SE by installing a new rear-facing camera for $80. A bargain.
Truth be told the iPhone's camera was glitchy from the beginning but I was always able to get it working with Youtube's help. With just a few weeks left of the warranty I was ready to take the iPhone in but then the camera worked perfectly, every time. Then a couple of months ago I got the black screen after every couple of pics.
Lesson learned, next time I'll take the phone in even if it works "perfectly" while I am there. And, of course, today it took picture after picture without the dreaded black screen but their diagnostics did confirm it was a hardware problem and that the camera needed to be replaced.
The first pic with the new rear-facing camera: Summer canopy with the screened walls.
Tried a new dish for dinner: Japanese Cold Udon Noodles with toppings: egg, tofu, grilled veggies (cast iron grill pan) and leftover pan-fried Copper Rock Cod (caught by The Man).
It was good, quick and easy. The best part is you could make it ahead of time since it's eaten cold. Thumbs up.
We are expecting another triple-digit heatwave that will last into next week. Using the last moments of daylight to sit outside and take advantage of the cool evening.
