A small geocaching trip today turned into a 9 mile hike along the Greenbelt. I got it in my head to find a trail that I could use to cut across the Greenbelt to be able to walk/run to work. The cache today was in the vicinity of a trail that followed a transmission line […]

I put in 10 miles at Town Lake today. I wasn’t in shape to run my normal 10/1 or 5/1 splits, I wound up doing 5/3 or so. I did this in 2:14, compared to 2:10 during a training run on 11/25 last year. Today was also after only eating a bagel for lunch, no […]

This weekend I read iWoz by Steve Wozniak and Ed Viesturs’ No Shortcuts to the Top. I was disappointed by iWoz. It felt like it was written for a very low reading level, like it was targeted to middle-school kids. While I have to give Woz credit for all the work he did, the book […]

I finally finished installing my new Tarheel antenna on the truck. I needed a way to mount it up on the bed rail for the best performance yet be able to easily fold it down to clear the parking garage at work. I spent all week looking for a fold-down mount that would readily mount […]

A fun night of Krav Maga tonight. My head wasn’t there or something and I kept messing up and not doing drills right. On Tuesday I clipped my partner in the nuts with a straight kick, not enough to hurt him, but enough to make him say “woah”. Tonight was my turn, I got accidentally […]

Today was a fun day of Geocaching. I found three caches, struck out on two. The last one was an adventure in getting lost in white people suburbia. I had set out to find GCH3CZ, so I parked at the recommended dead-end street at the trailhead. Somehow I got off trying to go to the […]
