The sticker that I forgot to purchase during my visit to the San Antonio Missions Natural History Park has arrived.

I have continued to use the method of placing these stickers that I learned from a ranger in Utah of cutting down the info sticker and placing it on the reverse side of the image sticker so that it can be lifted to read the information on the flip side.

Later this week I will be in Michigan and I am hoping to add some stickers and stamps during my visit here as well, though I do not know how well this will work as I have planned many many dumb things in this trip.

We are continuing our A – Z Country food challenge and we have added T for Thailand to the collection. This brings us to 7 out of 26 letters.

This is the Pad Ma Kur Yao that I tried. I generally avoid eggplant when I eat out, but on the server’s suggestion I gave it a try. It was a good experience to try a dish that I would not normally order.

Muangthai is the name of the restaurant and it is a great place to visit. (They have a dragon hiding in the trees).

I have begun to track my health with a cheap smart watch that does not require a subscription. It was a pain to set up and it does not integrate with any of the preferred software, but it cost me less than $50 without a subscription model.

I am hoping to prepare my body to hike. The plan is to fill a backpack with weights and to track my stats as my abilities increase. I would live to one day hike the Appalachian, but this is a huge goal and I do not believe that I would attempt to do it in a single year.

I have two Wreck This Journal missions that have been completed. The first of which is the “drag the book” challenge.

I left the twine on and taped it to the page to commemorate this event.

I will be visiting my best friend Tony in Michigan for about three and a half days and one of the goals that we have during this visit is to complete his copy of Wreck This Journal.

I also plan on dragging him along a two day road trip where we will attempt to visit a ghost town and get silly pictures. I do believe we will have traveled through the entirety of the state by the end of it.

And of course the secret message page. It is complete.

I am torn between a desire to show the message as evidence that this task has been accomplished and to adhere to the instructions by keeping this message secret.

Eli says “Hello.”
