Been here a week. Leave tomorrow. First day of no rain! Trails are pure muck. Once every few years we have a week like this. We tent camp so generational experience makes it tolerable. Not fun but tolerable.

7 days in the mountains ended today. 2 rain free days, 2 partial rain days, 3 nothing but nonstop rain days. Family bonding through suffering. Oddly (from my experience) these are the trips everyone revels in during future conversations. Good thing I had the car keys though.

Later start than normal for Friday foot commute. Pace a little faster than previous but still slow. Lack of iron in my environment.

10 hours to get the strut bolt out. And this many bits. Couldn’t weld it out like normal so no choice but to drill.

Geneseo from 170’ today. Perfect day for it!

When politics effects law and order those that enforce law and order better comment on why politics and politicians are causing harm and lawlessness. If politicians and their policies are resulting in more violence the citizens need to know. What the politicians think of this is

This training is for all leaders who want to develop their skills. It is fun. It is real. We use our experience from Baja, military, nonprofit, police, life… and we will learn from you also!

Today’s project was replacing a basement window. It’s been covered with Styrofoam and cardboard since we moved in 12 years ago. Important part. Upon cleaning up to reframe I found the handprint. Youngest it could be is 1870, oldest 1805.I’m going to contrast it to acknowledge

The Navy ship commander who fired a M4 with a VCOG mounted backwards and KAC rail not fully seated has been relieved. As I said back then - based on the photo his Sailors likely intentionally set him up to be ridiculed by handing him a rifle set up like that. Probably a sign

Police were called to a report of a violent male with knife who ran off prior to Police arrival PD Blitz lands to search and soon finds the male hiding in bushes. He was non-compliant and swiftly detained by PD Blitz. James Beeston 35, has been charged and remanded.

296’ in Somerset. Forearms screaming! Lake Ontario in the distance.

Busy weekend. Taking Grandbaby to the WNY Llama fest did not disappoint. He’s 2mo old and slept through it. He also slept through East Aurora food fest. Still a bang up weekend.

Polaris Dawn and Dragon at 1,400 km above Earth – the farthest humans have traveled since the Apollo program over 50 years ago

Orbiting Earth on board Dragon, the Polaris Dawn crew talked with families of Folds of Honor, an organization providing educational scholarships to spouses and children of America's fallen and disabled military service-members and first responders 🇺🇸

Thing 2 update. Bought in Feb, w shipping from Texas (via MO) $7300. 2010 Mini 31k miles. It’s sat since. Put it on road this week. Cleaned it up. Needed new battery and a few trim pieces. See what you can find around here for that price! Like new because it kinda is.

Cistern clean out rebuild is nearing completion after 12 years. It was filled with rubble, dirt and silt from when it was used. It’s an on and off project. Should be done in a year. Why? Just because. I’ve no before photos because I’m bad at that.

Dragon and the Polaris Polaris Dawn astronauts are set to return to Earth and splash down off the coast of Dry Tortugas, Florida on Sunday, September 15 at 3:36 a.m. ET → spacex.com/launches/missi…

My disappointment with Rochester Regional Health continues. 90 days since test was done and nobody has conveyed results. I’m a grumpy old man, in my defense, incompetence brings it out in me. I refuse to chase them down for info. I’m just not gonna do it in the future.

Today’s lazy project. Table seats 12. I built that from barn wood. Chairs are 1920’s from Spain. Recaning is in order for one of them. Paper rush isn’t authentic but looks good and holds up well. Supplies gathered.

All done. Just have to mix stain/varnish to dye rush to match original. Good for another 100 years.
