2020 Review

Posted on 2021/01/182021/02/10

Here are a few highlights in my life for the dumpster-fire that was 2020. I was extremely fortunate that neither of us lost our job, got sick, or had any real hardships. I want to concentrate on the positive parts of my life and share some good things that have happened to me. Bought another…

Finding someone in the desert

Posted on 2019/07/272021/02/08

I don’t really know where to start, but finding someone in the desert on the verge of death is a life-changing experience to say the least. It’s been all over the news and social media. It just blows my mind. Full write up of the tour and my perspective of the incident can be found…

Getting Into the Moment

Posted on 2019/03/282021/02/10

I’ve seen some criticism that people aren’t experiencing the world “in the moment” because they are too busy trying to take selfies, post to social media, and just want to take a quick pic before heading off to the next location. Personally, I feel that having the camera in hand helps me see the world…

2016 Reading Goal Complete

Posted on 2016/12/012017/01/01

At the beginning of 2016, I set out to read 52 books by the end of the year. It was a slow winter for me, so nearly half those books were read in just a few months. As summer rolled in, my reading slowed down. But as we found ourselves rained-in while bike touring the…

A weekend in Arcata

Posted on 2016/04/202021/02/08

Many weeks ago, Audrey asked “Should I do this?” Next thing I know, we’re driving 7+ hours to Aracata, California so that Audrey could attend Godwit Days. She would spend the weekend birding around with various groups, snapping photos, talking about birds, birding birds, and meeting her birding idol: David Sibley. Yes, THAT DAVID SIBLEY….

Riding Sandy Ridge

Posted on 2015/11/082016/02/03

I just started riding a Santa Cruz Chameleon hard-tail as my trail bike. Bolted out of work a bit early on a glorious Friday afternoon to enjoy the trail before the rains dampened the weekend. I recorded bits of my ride using just my iPhone6, a Bluetooth Wireless Remote Control, and a small tripod. Although…

If you don’t know about “The Oatmeal“. You should. Audrey and I have signed up to run the Beat the Blerch Half-Marathon next month in Carnation, Washington. It’s going to be a hoot! What is The Blerch? He’s my inner sloth. The demon on my back telling me to eat more pizza. Run tomorrow. I…

Still Living Tiny

Posted on 2014/06/17

Audrey and I are still loving the tiny house life and have been blogging about it over at Trying on Tiny. Although we’ve had to face a few challenges in the last 19 months of living in 160-square feet, we’ve pulled through all of them while still loving each other more than ever. All my…
