I’m very grateful for my dad helping me replace my starter motor on my Camry today. With the nerve problem that I have, my hands are weak and it makes it hard to do mechanical work.

I just realized I walked under this tree. It looks like it’s about to fall.
I looked outside the office and saw a UPS and FedEx driver standing outside their trucks talking. I’m really curious what their conversation was about.
What is the ideal Mac setup? Part of me thinks this is:
I forgot to post these photos of my ride yesterday.

Blaming capitalism for greed is like blaming roads for bad drivers.
Today I got to help a friend of mine do some prescribed burning at his house. It’s quite a fun process but very very hot.
I find it crazy that these are the same volume.

We had some crazy weather today. Originally there was a tornado warning in our area because of the wind conditions. It ended up being just off and on rain.
I went on a OneWheel ride with my brother tonight before Bible study. The weather was nice and we got 13mi in before we ran out of time. I think we got back to our car with him having about 20% battery left on his XR Classic.
For some reason, I severely dislike Squarespace and I struggle to find the words to describe why I dislike it so much. It feels like every YouTube channel I watch or podcast I listen to is sponsored by them.
I just finished my first oil change on my 2002 Toyota Camry since purchasing it in October 2025.
I just learned today how crazy SSD prices have gotten! In 2023, my brother purchased a 4TB Crucial BX500 SSD for $165 and now it’s like $400 for an equivalent drive.
My brother and I were out OneWheeling tonight when we decided to ride over to our cousin’s house to see if he wanted to ride with us. He joined us and we rode through his neighborhood for a little while.
As we were riding, he mentioned that Krispy Kreme was running a special today where you could get a dozen donuts for $0.13. We decided to try to make it there before they closed.
On our way there, we found out the special required a purchase of at least one dozen donuts and only then would you get a dozen glazed for $0.13. It didn’t matter as we got there just 5mins before the posted closing time online but the employees decided to close early and they wouldn’t give us any donuts. We went to the grocery store instead and bought some candy.
I bought a OneWheel Pint second hand today.
It’s the end of the first day of our MABDR trip. We jumped on the route in Harper’s Ferry on section 5 this mornin and are 1/3 through section 6 as I sit here by the fire, drinking some warm tea out of my very flimsy rubber collapsible cup, thinking back on what a fantastic day it was. One full of plenty of humor and amazing scenery.
One of the riders in our group had his mind set at leaving Charlottesville, VA at 6am this morning so we showed up at our meeting location around 5:40am. We pair all of our intercoms successfully after some trial and error and headed north.
After approximately two hours of riding, we stopped for breakfast at a little cafe and then continued on to join the MABDR at section 5 in Harper’s Ferry.
Only two of us went down today; me being one of those. I ruined yet another pair of nice pants to a tear caused by gravel and the blood that later soaked in to it. My bike sustained very little damage. One of the panniers was bent and became loose but it should last the rest of the trip until I have an opportunity to repair it when I return home.
I’m going to bed now so that I’m well rested tomorrow for the long, and possibly rainy, day ahead of us.
