I realized that my rear tire wouldn't make it back to San Diego; the "local" dealer is in DePere (just south of Green Bay). I took a fairly pleasant ride down, and the efficient dealer mechanic changed the tire in 15 minutes.

Then I rode back.

How about some more butterflies? This is a Milbert's Tortoiseshell



a Northern Crescent



and I think this is a Bronze Copper (although its color is more subdued than the pictures I found).



We're building (well, Xavier is building, and I'm kibitzing) a crane to load chunks of logs onto a splitter (he also engineered and built).



Note the full moon in the background.

(He's arc welding, the gas rig was used to punch some holes for plug welds.)
