took this pic and then laughed to myself haha "glad this won't be the last photo on my roll that would be so ironic" and then scolded myself for hubris as I checked my footing

Pretty late afternoon light on the mountain.

Hitting the trail in the heat. YEAH MAN BUT IT'S A DRY HEAT.

The Shimoda comes in a pound heavier but does have a hipbelt... 🤔

PD 18L daypack weigh-in

I appreciate that Dirtybox Peak is the mean value between Mailbox and Dirty Harry.

I know smartwater bottles are The Thing in backpacking but I've stuck with good ol' HDPE nalgenes for both backpacking and just daily use. tough, light, standard, cheap. I know the last time they were considered ultralight was, like, the 70s but they are good enough for me.

No leaking so far. They are a really good seal. I bought a couple bulk packs of these (search for 5ml dropper bottles pack) and use them for a lot of things including a bottle of iodine i use as my backup water purification / wound cleaning option. Always in my kit, never leaked a drop.

Made a little label for one of my “world’s smallest bottle of Dr. Bronners” that I take backpacking because everyone knows the label makes it work better.

Printed out some durable plastic wilderness quick reference cards (10 essentials / wilderness first aid).

looks like morton had a real down beat in his story arc between naming the first and second peaks

wow good job past me for this really helpful POI note

I'd buy so many ebooks from @bookshop.org (online bookstore of choice 📚❤️) if I could get epubs. I hate that ebooks are locked in their app. I just bought this ebook from Bookshop to support the author but will end up actually reading the public library ebook instead since it opens on my eReader.

Plastic handle finally broke on this old laundry basket. My 20 year old bag of grommets that I'm slowly working through, some webbing, thread and 20 minutes later and handles are back in business.

Each time a character dies in a #MothershipRPG game I have the player sign a rule booklet (and they get a cool patch from my stash). 4th signature today (player was fully on board the result and had a new character ready to go).

Picked up an xteink x3, dropped some custom firmware on it (crosspoint, excellent) and pointed it at my Calibre Web home server. Up and running in 15 min with full sync to my full library of titles, love it.

rolled a natural cat

Found a Valentine's day card my daughter made for me when she was little and she wrote out my name as a list of qualities including "Extraordinary, Terrific, Happy, etc." But for some reason for A she did not use Amazing or Astounding. She went with... ANTHILL 🐜🐜🐜

My iPhone battery clinging to 80% health (below which apple replaces it free)

I have these powerbanks scattered around the house and they get used and moved constantly by me and The Teens so I added airtags to them all. Huge win.

every parent's nightmare. found in my daughter's room. obviously has been living a double life. (old lady hair and spy glasses both in box, how did we not see the signs)

Last week was trying to figure out the best way to duplicate all events from a shared RPG calendar (subscribed cal feed from someone else) to my personal cal so my fam can see those (we share our calendars, makes scheduling easier). Updated Fantastical today & they just added calendar mirroring 👍

For father's day, one of my favorite shots of my dad at his old job giving sidequests and selling wares if you have coin.

I appreciate the naming of Bacon Peak and, slightly to the north, Canadian Bacon Peak.

scalene, Scalene, SCALene, SCALEEEEN I’m beggin of you let me solve with tan()

Need to get a green d5. I use this all the time especially playing Mothership RPG.

waiting for trump to emerge from this goo like senator kelly in the first xmen movie

found a collarless lost dog in my front yard so I gave it water and scanned its chip with a flipper zero. re-homed successfully (through my block email list which responded before I could look up the code). sometime tech still feels fun and useful and for the greater good.
