“New Book” Cedar Park, 2024

Today, I picked up A Closed and Common Orbit from the library. It’s the second book in Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series. I absolutely loved the first book, so I’m excited to dive back into this universe. Plus, it’ll be a nice change of pace to read from a physical book instead of a screen!

“Kiki” Cedar Park, 2024

Today, Kiki and I went for a ride to the café. I was excited to test out a new camera mode on my DJI Action 4, but things didn’t go quite as planned – I accidentally switched the exposure settings to manual, which resulted in all the footage being overexposed and completely unusable. Lesson learned!

On the bright side, the coffee at the café was fantastic, so the trip wasn’t a total loss. 😅

New Watch Band

“New Watch Band” Cedar Park, 2024

I swapped out the band on my Seiko SNK809 today. The new band has a similar style but attaches directly to the lugs, unlike my previous NATO-style band. This allows the watch body to sit directly on my wrist, giving it a slimmer profile and a more comfortable fit. Plus, with the see-through case back, I can enjoy watching the mechanical movement in action. I absolutely love it!
