I can't remember if I posted this table that I made. I threw it together pretty quick, and was impressed that I could cut those logs in half lengthwise with a chainsaw without cutting myself.

I'm starting in on a new painting tonight. I always look forward to that. ecib commissioned one, so maybe this will be what he gets.

I am having a hell of a time getting Ubuntu installed on a Windows 10 computer. It should be straight-forward, but it's not letting me create the partition I need. I've managed to unmount the USB file I cannot install into, but cannot yet create or get it to recognize one I need to install into. I remember it used to be so easy...

Fall is finally here, which makes me happy. I'll take overcast and chilly over sunny and sweaty most days.

Also, I hope Trump does a horseback photoshoot before he's out of office.

I like that table. It has a nice mix of being deliberately put together while maintaining this natural air.

Summer is rapidly approaching here, can't wait for Christmas on the beach and BBQs

It looks like the ideal table for eating lunch on while hiking!

Are you trying to overwrite or dual-boot? What brand pc are you working with? I have dual-booted a win 10 with Ubuntu before but it has been awhile. I recall it being a little funky, I can try to dredge up some more of that memory if needed.

Disable secure boot.

Yeah, I did that. I'm going to take another shot later today.

Hmm. It might be the computer itself, something with the bios maybe? Only reason I say that is the last time I bought a desktop, I couldn't install Linux to save my life. I think I tried three times in as many days. I took it back, exchanged if for a different model, and took it home and succeeded on my first attempt.

That's disconcerting.
