Got a half-bowl of Lane RLP-6 drying on a paper towel, with the full knowledge that a watched pot never boils.

Bird report: California scrub-jay (parents with advanced fledglings/borderline juveniles), Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, House finch, Western kingbird, Mountain chickadee, California towhee, California quail, Red-tailed hawk, and of course, the ever-present Common raven.
Monsoon rain on the way for Friday (which will blessedly douse Yosemite on its way north), so I'd better get some smokin' in while it's still dry.
