As I’ve written before… Dianne and I are working to digitize all of our paper photos and consolidate them with all of her digital photos. Were using Google photos because the AI seems to be the best there. I just noticed that the total picture count crossed 135,000 today
I just finished annotating the 600 recognized face… That’s 600 names and faces I’ve had to connect. Talk about a great exercise your long-term memory.… There are many folks in there who my know who they are but can’t come up with their names… That involves some research. Still … I’m proud to say I have 600 of them named. There are still many more to do and every day the AI recognizes more names from the pictures that ‘Diane has scanned that day.
I think I might’ve said this already… But it’s kind of a cool pleasure to be able to spend a little time looking at all these pictures and remembering the times I’ve seen that person and where.… It’s like reliving a lot of travel, food, pets, trails…. It’s the perfect virtual vacation from this crazy lockdown
Beautiful but chilly day today. About -10 Fahrenheit this morning.… Not so cold for here… But the first real winter temperatures.… It was sunny and bright so we decided to go out anyway.… The air it warmed up to the low teens so why not. We headed up to catamount Trail. We ended up walking the first couple of miles because the snow was so packed and we didn’t need snow shoes. We had it off trail initially bound to see some old beaver ponds we like to visit and then realized That we didn’t have time to make what would’ve been about a 7 mile round-trip. Instead we decided To snowshoe back along the ridge along the east of Preston, Brooke.… We had our GPS but we decided to see if we could do it by dead reckoning.… We decided to keep our shadows to the right and see how well that went.… That can work as long as you’re not Moving long enough for the sun to move too much
Between that and our fancy GPS we had no trouble tracking that 2 1/2 miles back. It was lovely deep snow and really nice hiking except for some serious brambles where the land had been logged a few years back
Beautiful day…
Spent the rest of the day trying to catch up for The week ahead…
One other great mile stone today.… We finished another puzzle. It’s amazing how satisfying that is in these crazy times
Great, call De here in Vermont. And have her just above zero for most of the day. It was right outside so we decided to go for a snowshoe. We did one of our favorite hikes which is to go up Honey Hollow road which is closed for the season and then just turn right and go up the hill side.… Doing it with the GPS makes it even more fun because we know how to get back
Get some steep climbs and then explored a high Valley that we had visited in a long time. We found some amazing ice cliffs
A funny thing happened before we left. We ran in two guys that had a really nice micro camper. We talk to them for a bit
It turns out that tonight one of them . Zac. and I figured out that we actually know each other pretty well we just didn’t recognize each other. Zach is my friend Hank who is a professor at MIT’s grandson
Diane and I are having an all hip hop weekend . We’re getting tired of our hippy chill folk favorites , so we reached out to gabe and he sent us some playlists . We’re listening to new female hip hop artists . Really liking it .. getting a good anatomy lesson in the bargain !
