Just got back from a week in the algarve, Portugal. Take a walk with me down Praia do Carvalho along the seven hanging valleys trail. Another bucket item checked off the list. #travel #Portugal ##sevenhangingvalleys

Not a boomer, so I'll be over here with my records and tapes and books. I can't avoid AI entirely yet. But going back to analog seems like the right direction.

Haven't watched south park for awhile.. but they are absolutely killing it this season.

Well that's easy enough Happy Thanksgiving!.

Well finally got to see a launch live and it did not dissapoint. New glenn headed skyward to fling satellites twards mars.. and nailed the landing as well.

The best photo I could get tonight turned out to be a good one. A very small section of the sky.. yet so many stars. 90 minute exposure.

Took this picture in 2018 when I visited Austin for a few days... pretty sure the people of Texas don't want what's happening now. Warrants for the arrest of elected officials.. threatening to replace them. Doesn't sound like freedom to me. But they keep voting for clowns so maybe they do. 🤷‍♂️

Do yourself a favor and watch Jon Stewart on tonight's daily show.. that's all I'm gonna say.

Haven't had cable for oh 8 years.. but I do watch Colbert on youtube. Usually in the morning when my schedule allows. Been watching him since his comedy central days. Probably the death knell for CBS.. I bet the hate mail is rolling in about now. As it should. Just a dumb move.

Took a Sunday hike dahn Jonathan run falls trail in Ohiopyle state park. We've had a ton of rain here so she was raging. Had this spot to ourselves for quite a bit.

I'd say the same for women, way back in the 70's I was born a ginger.. then turned brown and now all grey. At my age I'm just lucky I still have hair. 🤣

There is a closer parking area. We chose to take the trail. It's about a 2 mile walk along the old steam pipe. Very beautiful and not for the feint of heights. But I highly recommend if you can handle high walkways with railings of course.

Just got back from the Azores last night. Dreading going back to work myself. But that is what funds the trips..so..🤷‍♂️

Cascata do Salto do Cabrito, on Sao Miguel island in the Azores, Portugal. A decent hike but well worth the result at the end.

Morning from Ponta Delgada in the Azores. My favorite island so far. I could get used to this. Plan to retire somewhere near here in a few years.

This buck visited me on my front patio last spring. Made a hell of a racket dodging my furniture. I noticed he had a big chunk taken out of his hind quarters. He ran off up behind the barn and well that was the carcass smell last summer. Nature comes for us all. I'll display him on my barn.

Listen, I'm not saying cutting an acre of grass on a beautiful day listening to jams like break stuff by limp bizkit can fix everything. But it doesn't hurt.

Took a call from a woman last night, frantic because her husband was not home straight after work. Wanted to report him missing. So sent the PD. About 45 minutes later we found him trapped in his car 100 ft over a hillside. So don't tell me womens intuition isn't a thing.

That's a toungue twister for sure. But absolutely hilarious.

So the other day at work someone said Rodger over the air.. I chuckled and said Rodger, rodger whats your vector, Victor?. And no one got the reference..😱 I'm officially old. When the hell did that happen?

Well since the power goes out here up in the mountains, sometimes for days.. you have to have backups for your backup.. so I have 2 generators one is just a solar battery backup. So I can watch old DVD's like last nights Walk Hard the Dewey Cox story. 🤣

Power has been out since 9pm last night. Been running the generator off and on all day to keep the fridge fridging. Looks like it won't be back on till tomorrow night. Could be worse 8 of my neighbors had trees come down on their houses.

I mean... it's something right?

The first season was a rough. It gets better.

Just finished season 3 of Wheel of Time. As a huge fan of the books, this was by far the best season. Be a shame if it wasn't renewed for season 4.

Done. Its super easy.

Today I learned.. the voices of the ambiguously gay duo were steven colbert and steve carrell.. how did I not know this? And it started on the dana carvey show.. which only lasted 7 episodes.

Just finished watching the first season of The Pitt.. and well if you wanted to see what I do its pretty damn close to shifts I've had if you swap out the docs and residents with 911 operators. I've dealt with pretty much all of that shit.. so whomever wrote that shit probably lived it.

When you have an hour commute to work.. 🤣

A picture of text.. read it.
