🪂 My First Skydive & Time Spent In Utah

Hello from Austin, Texas on Tuesday August 22nd at 2pm. Weather is currently cloudy ☁️ and 98° F (36.7 ° C) I went skydiving! Easily one of the greatest experiences in my life, though it was not what I expected. I was going for the rush of adrenaline like a rollercoaster, but it is not… Continue reading

Rorsach

Hello my friend. It is currently 2pm here in Austin Texas. Sunny ☀️ & 100° F (37.8 °C). My dental appointment this morning ran a bit long. The next pieces of my implants did not seem to fit at first. Luckily the amazing team at my dental office got it all straightened out and at… Continue reading

I Did Not Lick Skittles And Then Try To Trick My Wife Into Eating Them

What I DID do was pull out a handful of Skittles so that I could grab two of each color (“colour” for our English friends) so that I could “taste the rainbow” and then paint the tasted rainbow. I am worried that I have done my health dirty as I am not sure if these… Continue reading

Library Adventure!

Friday August 4th. Wreck This Journaling. Two pages for the price of one. Ripped, glued, stapled, stick glued, taped. Success. The big adventure was our plans for Saturday. My partner and I were discussing the local libraries and we realized that in Austin there are 21 libraries and we’ve been to 10 of them. Our… Continue reading

Stamps. But not for postcards.

Good morning from Austin Texas at 9:49 am and 84° F (29° C). Today I am noticing that some of the Wreck This Journal pages are a bit dated. I was going to work on another page that required a newspaper, but I was unable to find the newspaper that I thought we had at… Continue reading

Postcards!

Here is my current postcard map. Blue stars are cards I have sent, green walky guys are cards I have received and all others are cards that I have sent outside of postcrossing.com. Today I received this lovely card from Moscow which suggests visiting Hong Kong and I agree. That would be a lovely place… Continue reading

Stupid Accidental Exercise

Too sweaty. Just wanted to do a little bit of Explore Every Day (one of the challenge books I’m working on) and I went to clean a part of my neighborhood. The mail room at my apartment complex has been particularly dusty and cobwebby lately, so I figured this was the right place to go.… Continue reading

Secret Agent Stuff, Postcards and Tidying

Get out of bed. Check. Eat a gummy vitamin. Check. Prepare delicious morning coffee. Check. Morning adventure time! My postcard that was sent to a French island in Canada arrived so a new slot has opened up for me to send another card. I have received Germany again! This makes sense as they are one… Continue reading

Page 63

Good morning from Austin, Texas. Yesterday went by quickly. The new Nicholas Cage update for Dead by Daylight dropped and after work I dropped by a friend’s business to help with a bit of cleaning. Over the weekend we had a nice string of microadventures which caused both my wife and I to get sick… Continue reading
