🎳 Bowling & Shopping
Sunday February 11th, 10:29 pm. Austin, Texas. ☁️ Cloudy 44° F (7° C). First. Windmills don’t necessarily need to be for milling. This is a topic that came up yesterday that we looked into today. Second. I forgot to mention that I ate a chicken heart yesterday. The first time is always rough for something… Continue reading

🦇Mustang Grapes, Mayhaw Jelly & Hiking To The Bat Cave (Texas State Park)
February 10th, 2024 10:10pm Austin, Texas. Cloudy. 57° F (14° C) Tuesday, Feb 6: I looked up Mayhaw berries for the Mayhaw jelly that I purchased in Fredericksburg, Texas. Fascinating little fruit. Not a common one. This reminds me of Mustang Grapes which I discovered in rural Texas about two years ago. I was in… Continue reading

🪧 Which Park on Saturday & Librarian Postcard
Monday February 5th, 10:39 pm. Austin, Texas. 🌒 51° F (11°C). Today I sent another homemade card to my pal Tony. These were nice cookies that tasted like birthday cake and now they are a simple message to Tony. Speaking of Tony, I sent him a homemade card made of a sandwich meat box and… Continue reading

🪨 Hidden Stone Windmill in Austin & Historic Jailhouse in Fredericksburg, Texas
Monday February 5th, 2024. Austin, Texas. Cloudy, 55°F (13° C). On the first of February I ended my day by completing a daily journal which said “What do you want to accomplish tomorrow?” To which I replied “Fuck!” because for about a week I have been meaning to get up early and make a quick… Continue reading

👻 Why Can’t I Wake Up Earlier & This Discord Has Ghosts In It
Thursday February 1st, 2024. Austin, Texas. ☀️ 55°F (14°C). On the evening of the 30th I was rearranging my books and I found my missing planner! (It was under other books). So I have a scheduling problem in my life. My work schedule here in Austin is based around California hours which means I work… Continue reading

📲 Roleplaying Games & Cleaning My Damn Phone
Tuesday January 30th, 10:12 pm. Austin, Texas. 🌘 56°F (13°C) One of my adventure list items has been to clean my phone. The icons have been kind of a jumbled mess for… I don’t know… Years? My home screen and game screen have historically been the only ones I keep tidy, but today I finished… Continue reading

🍲 New Life Skill & Clean Shoes
Monday January 29th, 2024. 10:32 pm. Austin, Texas. 🌘 55° F (13° C) That camp dutch oven event on Jan 6 really has me hooked on the idea of cooking meals at a campsite and so I ordered a book on eBay a while back. The book has arrived! Now I just need a camp… Continue reading

📰 Circle Words I Like? – Wreck This Journal
Sunday January 28th, 2024. 11:57 pm. Austin, Texas. Clear night sky. 46° F (8° C). It was almost a potato day, a day without adventure. At the last minute I snuck in a quick page of Wreck This Journal. I can tell this book is becoming a bit dated requiring items like magazines. Luckily I… Continue reading

🚶 Trying out Hiking Poles & Johnny-Cakes
Sunday January 28, 2024 Austin, Texas. Sunny, 66° F (19° C). 4:33 pm Note to self, Alt+0176 is the “degree symbol.” (On Windows if you hold Alt, press “0176” and then release alt, the symbol will appear). It’s much easier to type out the temperature when I post updates from my phone. Whew, spent Saturday… Continue reading

🥐 Chex Mix Used To Be Better, Right?
Saturday January 27th, 2024. 8:09 am 49° F (9° C) I forgot to post again last night, so it is a morning post today. I sent this postcard to France. Timpanogos Cave is a funny story. For my birthday last year we took a trip to Utah and one of the places I wanted to… Continue reading

👨⚖️ Postcards to China Are A Little Bit Different & Let’s Run A Pen Out Of Ink
Wednesday January 24, 2024. 10:43 pm Austin, Texas. Rainy, 53° F (12° C). My friend, it is a good day. I was worried that I would have no microadventure on this glorious Wednesday, but I put down my Dead by Daylight gaming session and jumped into writing a couple of postcards. As is expected Tony… Continue reading

📥 Great – Now I’m A Postcard Snob
Tuesday January 23rd 11:32 pm, Austin, Texas. Dark, cloudy, 55° F (13° C). First and foremost, Tony gets a card. A LBJ historical site postcard of a cowboy that is far too glossy to write on. Yeehaw. But really, I keep two stacks of postcards. One with obnoxiously glossy backs that are difficult to write… Continue reading

🧩 Varying Size Jigsaw Puzzle – Micro Adventure Complete
Sunday January 21st, 9:33 pm. Dark. 33°F (1° C) Today I started the day with a little bit of Dead by Daylight (4 v 1 horror survival game) followed by a bit of cleaning before our guests Chad and Lisa came to visit. They are my favorite because they brought Taco Bell, which as everyone… Continue reading

🏕️ Car in a Ditch & I Don’t Want to Kayak With Alligators – Weekend Solo Camping pt. 2
Sunday January 7th at about 4:30 am. I left Caddo Lake State Park (loudly) with the goal of driving south towards the state parks near Houston when I came across a car that was teetering over a ledge into a ditch. A person was standing outside of the car and no one appeared to be… Continue reading

🏕️ Car in a Ditch & I Don’t Want to Kayak With Aligators – Weekend Solo Camping pt. 1
December 6th, 2024. My wife Lauri is in Lincoln, Nebraska and so I am headed on a road trip. During this trip I visited seven state parks, one national park, met a guy with a car stuck in a ditch, found a UV active millipede, learned about camp Dutch ovens (invented by Paul Revere) and… Continue reading
