I’m wondering what MCP endpoints I would like to have:

  • My blog
  • Weekly Thing
  • OmniFocus, that could be amazing
  • Manuals for stuff I own
  • My media library
  • My photo library
  • My house, or whatever that would mean

Boat Day 2025! Got the boat out just in time to get on Cannon Lake for Memorial Day.

How cool that the S3 Files app added a local MCP server so you can expose any S3 bucket of files to Claude or Cursor for local use.

Traeger Grill

My brother-in-law got a Traeger Grill a while back and he found he was never using it. They decided to get a Blackstone Flat Top and I volunteered to provide a good home for the Traeger they didn’t want. I got it fired up for the first time tonight.

Why get this when I’ve got a perfectly good Big Green Egg already? Brisket. I’ve never been able to do brisket acceptably on the Big Green Egg and I’m hoping I can get a great product off of the Traeger. Sure is simple to get going!

Got to do a firmware update on the Traeger Grill. πŸ€“
