Another spicy week!

Intermittent incoming Iranian and Hizb’allah missiles notwithstanding, I finally managed to assemble [https://ronware.org/img/powersupply.jpeg the power supply] I’ve mentioned before. You can see it powering an Arduino sub-project (the hopefully upcoming variable voltage supply). The case is a repurposed old UPS case, since I needed a larger case to house the original PC power supply plus extra components. I’ll work on that sub-project next week, perhaps; at present, the supply is useful as-is.

I also made a new [https://8th-dev.com/forum/index.php?topic=3114.0 release of “8th”]; again, despite the various “incoming”. And I did three hours’ work in the garden, replacing a fence. So now my whole body hurts.

Did some fixing of the irrigation. Esther knitted with her friend.
Apart from that, we accomplished very little this week.

Various topics of note:

* History/food nerds: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4sG10v8VBU The Poor Man’s drink].

Once again, prudence suggests we stay at or near home this ''shabbat''. The weather will perhaps be rainy, with a chance of falling metal.

This ''shabbat'' we’ll try to have uninterrupted meals, consisting of:
 
homemade ''ḥalla'',
''pargiot'',
slow-cooked ribs,
rice,
homemade ''ḥummus'',
various ''salatim'',
and chocolate-chip cookies.
 

Until next time, 
''shabbat shalom''!
