At some point this afternoon I woke up, thinking I was still in the hotel. I didn’t recognize where I was (my own bedroom), and it really scared me for a minute. Tonight I took a drive along 360 and went to Trudy’s. Oh. My. God. Hot salsa and queso has never tasted so good. […]

4:30 AM EDT: What time I woke up to go to IAD. 12:00 PM CDT: Landed in Austin. 37 C (98.6 F): The temperature in Austin when I got off the plane. 23 days, 6 hours: How long I was parked at the airport. I’m beat. As soon as I got in the plane at […]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh, still in Virginia! My trip was originally extended from Monday to Thursday. I was up all night Wednesday night tearing down our old cage and doing some work so there’d be no reason to extend my trip again. Maintenance work went sideways this morning, so here I am leaving Friday. All I can do […]

Here I am in Ashburn, Virginia. I’ve been here for eleven days now, since May 17, for work. If all goes to plan, I should be flying back in eight more days. It’s been a hard week, with some very long exhausting hours. I finally caught up on my sleep over the past couple of […]

iTerm sucks. I’ve had it with it, I’ve switched back to Terminal.app. I think the whole reason I switched to begin with was because iTerm did transparency support. I spend all my time with my head buried in terminal windows and it’s handy to see what’s behind the window. Terminal.app has since added that feature. […]

Today was the Armadillo Hill Country classic. This was by far the hardest ride I’ve ever done. Being in Hill Country, it was 107 miles of rolling hills. The wind kept shifting all day, essentially we were in a headwind on every leg of the route which took a lot out of me. While I […]

I’ve been slacking again. I finally got two rolls of film processed and scanned today. They’ve been in my cameras since New Year’s Eve. I should’ve taken many more but for whatever reason I didn’t. I can’t figure out how I took a crooked picture in Seattle, I was using a tripod at the time.

Tonight was the first time I ran after being sick. It felt like my lungs were coated with concrete, I couldn’t get a good deep solid breath. I’ve been chugging expectorant, I’m hoping this stuff plus running will break up and open my lungs back up. This weekend is the ACA Hill Country Classic. I’m […]

I snagged this off of Chris’ site, Horribly Hilly Hundreds. 200 kilometers (124 miles) of hellish hills, totalling around 10,000 feet of ascension. Totally sick, I love it. I might just have to box up my bike and travel up north for this sucker. I suspect this would be way worse than doing the Mansfield […]
