Plotting out a May road trip, and well…it’s escalated a bit. I think we’re in 10,000-miler territory at this point. 😬
Apparently we went to 776 places during our trip, as defined by a location we stopped for longer than 30 mins. (via Rond)
Not sure if I mentioned it, but I completed my 50 Before 50 quest during our big trip—that is, visiting 50 countries before I turn 50. My quest follows the official TCC list, which includes far flung territories “that are of significant interest, as distinct destinations, to serious travelers.”
One of the first things I do each new year is sign up for a California Campfire Permit, which is required to use a campfire or gas stove on all BLM and National Forest lands in the state. It’s free and takes less than five minutes of your time, so go get yours right now.
The easiest tell of a financial scam is when they ask for the money in bitcoin or gift cards. So what happens when the government actually starts holding or accepting crypto? These scams are increasingly sophisticated, and a whole lotta people are going to lose money paying fake fees & bills.
So, my first two out-of-state trips I’ve managed to plan since returning are…for baseball games? Who the hell am I? 🤯😱😂
I’ve been participating in a recently launched forum and forgot how much different forums are from what became known as “social media.” Nearly every one of my responses there is essentially a blog post. Short posts or replies are fine, of course, but this format also allows for much deeper and better conversation.
We’ve been gone long enough that I can’t remember what day the trash goes out, so I’ve been patiently waiting to see when bins start appearing on my street. Apparently, it’s today.
Very nearly pulled the trigger on a campsite in JTree for this Friday night, but then checked the weather and came to my senses. Brrrr!
Here’s something you should do: Remove your phone/address/email/etc from bullshit sites easily accessed via Google.
Does anyone know of a free service that checks a specific webpage for changes and sends you an alert? I want to keep track of when more details are posted to a webpage that lacks any sort of system changes/updates.

I just updated my /uses page a bit before posting it in a forum response, in case you enjoy seeing such things.

Life in 2025: it costs $3 more to have our bed comforter cleaned than to just buy a new one. 🧐🤨
This morning’s thought after being in foreign lands for more than three months:
DRIVE ON THE RIGHT, SCOTT, DRIVE ON THE RIGHT 🚙👉😂

Approximately half of our conversations while campervanning here in Australia are about what we should do about getting/building our own campervan-like adventuremobile back in the US. 😂
Preparing for the wedding. #the100pics
Australia does not suck to visit.
