Ok…the purple lavender color turned slightly more pink over time (Anthocyanin and pH change perhaps 🤔) though the photo makes it look more pink than it actually is. Regardless, this is delicious. Best combo so far. Lavender was a great choice. Thanks @inkvat.bsky.social for choosing it from my list!

34 miles on the bike today. Figured out a nice, new route. And the rain mostly held which I was grateful for. Perfect temperature.

Really enjoying game Blue Prince…haven’t pulled out a journal for note taking in a game in forever.

Note to future self….10g of sugar at 68F with 4 days of no burping might be too much carbonation 🧐

I’m pleasantly surprised the lavender one is turning purple.

My week long experiment decided to fail at the last minute. I might have to restart everything. 😭🫠

First bottle of second batch opened. This had zero added sugar and it still fizzed quite nicely. Hibiscus really going to work on the color too!

I need a “dark souls” epitaph for RNA Polymerase…that’s the kind of evening science (and my mind) has brought me. 😅

Random Bun thought: if I was trying to make AMVs on YouTube like when I was 16…I’d be trying to make one for Echo with “The Killing Kind” as a Leo/Chase theme. 😅

Chapter 1 of @underheavenvn.bsky.social was great! Can’t wait to see what happens next. The perspective changes with Russell and the chair was so cool. That whole scene was well done.

Sent three V6s at the gym today. Felt really good. Been projecting them for a bit now. Just had to execute and I did. Super happy about it.

I think the first Ginger Beer batch was a success! Could be a bit more carbonated, buts it delicious nonetheless.
