๐ฆMustang Grapes, Mayhaw Jelly & Hiking To The Bat Cave (Texas State Park)

February 10th, 2024 10:10pm Austin, Texas. Cloudy. 57ยฐ F (14ยฐ 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

๐ชง Which Park on Saturday & Librarian Postcard

Monday February 5th, 10:39 pm. Austin, Texas. ๐ 51ยฐ F (11ยฐC). Today I sent another homemade card to my pal Tony.

Monday February 5th, 2024. Austin, Texas. Cloudy, 55ยฐF (13ยฐ 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

๐ฅ Oil

Friday February 2nd, 2024. Austin, Texas. 9:45 am 61ยฐ F (16ยฐ C) One of the adventure items on my list is to make fancy oil and fancy vinegar. That whole thing where you infuse them with herbs and such. So I read up on the matter, watched a short video and found a recipe for Continue reading

๐ฐ Circle Words I Like? – Wreck This Journal

Sunday January 28th, 2024. 11:57 pm. Austin, Texas. Clear night sky. 46ยฐ F (8ยฐ C). It was almost a potato day, a day without adventure.

๐ถ Trying out Hiking Poles & Johnny-Cakes

Sunday January 28, 2024 Austin, Texas. Sunny, 66ยฐ F (19ยฐ 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

As is expected Tony Continue reading

๐ฅ Great – Now I’m A Postcard Snob

Tuesday January 23rd 11:32 pm, Austin, Texas. Dark, cloudy, 55ยฐ F (13ยฐ 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
