Nothing active. But even Santa Lucia is a former volcano (about 15 million years old).

You say pickerel and know about Goldeye. Manitoba or Minnesota or similar? ;)

That would qualify as work according to the US gov. Because by doing these chores, you are potentially causing someone to not need to pay a nanny or whatever. Be careful how you define work -- you don't need to be directly paid.

I hate fishing games. Just chance games to waste time. But I also hate fishing so...

While we're on that topic, Negash Coffee (Niverville, MB) is an interesting one. They are locally owned in Niverville. But the owners are immigrants to Canada and their family runs their actual plantation in Ethiopia. So it's vertically integrated with known sourcing.

The orbital mechanics thing is probably the most important. The delta-v to land isn't that bad once you're in orbit, but even getting to orbit is crazy. Also, you'd need a retro rocket for landing that could withstand the temperatures -- which would be a super interesting engineering problem. It already is for the orbital probes, but they don't have to carry enough fuel to land and have different mass budgets.

Yeah, if you do it often enough, it'd get so routine as to be super boring. But at least you get to think a bit about it if each case is distinct -- as opposed to assembly line construction.

Honestly I should have a plastic cover for it -- like computers in the 1980s! But mostly I just take the air duster to it before starting, and make sure the rails are not binding. If they are, I swab them out and add a little lithium grease.

The blue stuff is Canadian Tire Mastercraft. Which is likely different from the US Mastercraft brand. Not sure what Kobalt is.

The only real tools in the photo are the mini metal lathe by Proxxon and a higher end 3D printer from Makergear.

I'm going to Chile. It's going to be awesome.

Sometimes you need to transfer there to go somewhere else.

 

So far, of this list, I've only been to Dave and Laverne's. Highly recommend the smashburger.

From our fleet. Opened to do contact cleaning and maintenance.

 

Good advice for Canadians too.

Items important to have to survive 72 hours in a crisis: food and water to a flashlight, power bank, radio, cash and medication.
