After a few days riding in the Black Hills, time to head home. It's just too hot to ride in this heat!
We escape to Chief White Crane in South Dakota for a peaceful weekday camping getaway! Enjoy the tranquility of quieter campsites and fewer crowds. Perfect for a relaxing retreat. #retirement #camping
I just got back from a 5 day trip on my Cam-Am Spyder, from South Dakota to Arkansas and back. Beautiful scenery in southern Missouri and northwest Arkansas...but also a couple of very wet days! I'll blog about the trip when I get a chance. #motorcycle

Latest addition to my 2017 Spyder RT, a USA LED flag! I bought it a couple years ago, but postponed installing it until I was comfortable enough to figure out the wiring and body panel removal. It's unfortunate there is currently a dark cloud hanging over the country but I'm hopeful for better days.
New battery in my wife's Can-Am Spyder. Normal people can do this in 15 minutes. Unfortunately I'm not normal as it takes me an hour. #motorcycle #trike
We're celebrating UND this weekend. My University of Kansas may be out of the basketball tournament, but my son's University of North Dakota is still in their NCAA #Hockey tournament! Better yet, the regional final is going to be here in Sioux Falls!
First scotch on the patio in 2026...in March. That's how we do things in South Dakota USA!

Today, I tempt fate by storing away my snow blower in the garage and bringing out the lawn mower.
I have to admit I never appreciated plumbers and the complexity of troubleshooting a leaky toilet until I worked on them myself. After replacing the fill valve, I ended up replacing the flush valve too which also required separating the tank from the bowl to replace the tank-to-bowl gasket. #DIY

One of my favorite picture I took when my son was young and played hockey. Until they reach a certain age, it's quote common for girls to play on the same hockey team as boys. For awhile, those girls also have a physical advantage over the boys and they let those boys know it on the ice. #hockey
Jasmine and I hit the bike trail on our yearly warm February day walk. She was thrilled exploring all the old and new scents along the way. #siouxfalls
What a great Kansas vs. Arizona game! With the rocky start, I had prepared myself for a KU loss. This is probably one of the best Jayhawk games at Allen Field House we've seen on TV in the past couple of years. #RockChalk

Yesterday's hack of my Instagram, Threads, and Facebook accounts exhausted me. Because they were in still the process of taking the accounts and hadn't fully pulled my credentials, I was able to steal those accounts back from them. But I also learned a lot including other scammers offering "help".
