Stopped at another Freedom Rock. It’s actually part of a much larger project, one for each of Iowa’s 99 counties. Sounds like a fun quest if you live in Iowa. 🏷️26.05A
Beetle spider and frens… 🏷️26.05A
Freedom Rock 🏷️26.05A
“All the above” is probably the right call for a hotel breakfast area tv. Surprised I don’t see this more often.

May the friendly highway barn smile upon you too. 🏷️26.05A
A few shots from various stops today along the St Croix National Scenic Riverway, Jen’s 396th National Park unit (and apparently my 244th park unit I’ve revisited). Not a bad way to celebrate Jen’s birthday 🏷️26.05A
Can anyone explain what the hell I’m looking at here? 🏷️26.05A

We’re slated to pick up our new vehicle (and thus turn in the Subie) on June 1. Saw this photo from OTD 2024 and realized that I’ve already loaded my kayak into the Subie for the last time, sometime last year. I’m excited for the Grand Highlander, but damn…I’m going to miss the Outback too.
Struggled mightily the last few days trying to decide if I needed to pull the plug on my involvement in the campaign against a data center proposed for my neighborhood. It’s hard to walk away from the fight, but ultimately the best idea, imo. Wishing everyone else well in the fight!
Had to ditch my old color laser printer after 2 rounds of failed fix attempts (new drum + toner, but it’s something else). I don’t really need to print in color anymore, so I followed The Verge’s advice and just bought whatever current monochrome model Brother sells—no need to compare specs.
