This will likely replace my "Scribbles 'n Bits" blog, and I've already ported over most of that content. I do _really_ like the Scribbles platform, but I like the idea of cross-posting to both Gemini and the standard web more.

Along the way, I also found a way to leverage Hugo's custom output formats to build my runtimeterror site for Gemini without needing extra tooling. I'm *not* going to shift that site to favor Gemini beyond that (those technical posts can really benefit from the additional markup which isn't supported on Gemini).

He had a follow-up CT two weeks ago and that confirmed that the tumor has stopped growing and has been slightly reduced in size (apparently it's a type of slow-growing tumor which means it's also slow to die), but the docs determined that he had some lung inflammation from the radiation. He was prescribed a round of steroids to help with that, and we were told to follow up with chest X-rays in one and three months.

Getting everything taken apart wasn't a quick or easy job, and getting everything back in place was even harder. I did eventually get it all sorted, though, and it only took ~3 hours longer than The Internet told me it would, a broken bolt, a trip to Lowe's for replacement hardware and an extractor bit, and two bandaids. On the bright side, though, this *did* completely eliminate the noise I'd been hearing! My car doesn't sound like it's falling apart when I hit slightly-uneven pavement anymore. So that's nice.

Today, I replaced my worn Winmax W3/W4 brake pads with basically-brand-new Ferodo DS2500s kindly donated from a fellow competitor. Swapping those out only took me about an hour total, and I didn't break anything or injure myself this time. (Maybe I'm not quite as inept as I felt on Saturday! Interior work just suuuuucks.)

I went out for a drive to get the new pads bedded in and they feel great. I look forward to taking them for a proper spin next weekend!
