Looks like a ship full of Chinese made mini excavators has docked, everything is back in stock, including one that ticks all my boxes and comes with two extra buckets (trench and wide).
Hope to go look at it soon!
Decided on the Briggs & Stratton XR2100 petrol engine as the Koop 192F (Yanmar 1 cyl air-cooled clone) has too many defects and doesn't like starting in cold weather.
Then the digging can begin.

As you can tell by our elections, much of the u.s. populace has always been a bit shitty.
Now the president's tariffs are going to make usians even shittier.
Quite literally.

Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber could gut U.S. toilet paper and paper towel supplies. With over 2 million tons of pulp imported last year, the U.S. depends on this specific Canadian fiber.Universeodon Social Media
Maybe we can start calling Trump "president stinkbutt" because of the impact of his tariffs on the toilet paper tissue supply.

The image depicts a woman in mid-air, seemingly floating or levitating. She has long, flowing blonde hair and is wearing a white, flowing dress with intricate red and orange embroidery on the sleeves and hem. The dress is cinched at the waist with a brown belt adorned with beads and tassels. She carries a brown leather bag with fringe details over her shoulder. Her legs are wrapped in white fabric, and she is barefoot. The woman's hands are outstretched, with a glowing effect emanating from them, suggesting a magical or ethereal quality. The background is a soft, cloudy sky, enhancing the mystical atmosphere. The overall color palette is warm, with a focus on whites, browns, and subtle hints of red and orange.

There is a really good privacy feature on Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse:
When you post a link on Mastodon etc, it remains exactly as you posted it. There is no analytics or tracking going on, no one is monitoring clicks on links.
By contrast, on Twitter/X and Bluesky the links people post are redirected so clicks can be monitored. We don't know exactly what Musk or Bluesky do with this info, but they do it by redirecting all links to sites they control (t.co & go.bsky.app).

I didn’t mean that direct links don’t show your profile to websites, of course that would happen if following a link from someone’s profile (at least on the web).
Looking at Google analytics for Facebook referrals in the past, I only saw a redirect URL as the referrer, not the URL of anyone’s profile (same with Twitter). Facebook offered a more private experience by default, so it seemed to make sense to me that way. But it’s quite obvious now that they have nefarious uses for that data with tendrils that spread across the web to collect an entire profile about you.
