Waiting on a UPS delivery. On days I dont care, they drop at 2pm. When I need it, 8pm. I'm watching the truck on the map pass my house over and over delivering all over the area and getting so close. Seems very inefficient routing! I got a 3 hour drive ahead of me, they're gonna make me so late.
Sometimes on FT8 I can hear people's windows sounds come over the radio. It's kinda funny.
Lots of snow in Houston last night. Had my Hamradio out, I've had the kenwood for a bit and havent made a single D-Star contact, I think Houston has no big D-Star repeaters, only hotspots. Didnt get too many pics, it's hard with so many hobbies, carrying a radio, camera, gopro, and a dog leash :)
Got winlink setup on VHF today. Wasnt bad with the th-75 and a windows laptop. Tried getting it going on my mac with parallels but wasnt able to get the com port driver loaded. Fun!
Yeah who knows. I’m a dual citizen so probably be somewhere else. No complaints where I’m at now though.
About 24 years ago, I was talking about my Slackware installs with another guy, we were in a college common area, in El Paso, and someone approached me and gave me their card from the NRO. I ignored it as a scam. I haven't thought about that day in a long time. I wonder where id be if i called him.
Awesome! I have the same camera! Never seen it online before, it was my first camera, from like 1988 or something. Awesome you found flashes!
One thing they don't tell you about getting older is just how often you lose your curser on your screen and can't find it for like ten seconds even when you frantically wiggle your mouse back and forth.
I'm losing track of how many times I have to make this video!

I backordered an x100v feb 22nd. Totally gave up several months ago, and forgot about it. Unannounced, it showed up today. I guess early Xmas to me?
It was a poster. I had one around 2002, I think it was from a company called “Penguin Computing”. Sadly it got left at the job cuz it was on the wall when I quit.
Emory Peak, Big Bend Natl Park with my brother.
Dad made it all 18.5 miles with knees that need surgery.
ER9 campsite on the east rim.
My truck got stolen Wednesday but I still made my trip to BBNP. Was a wonderful hike. Got to visit Emory Peak and the South Rim. Good distraction from the downs of life.
I tried making my own custom feed on my own sever but the firehose was sucking down 85Mb/s. So I moved it over to skyfeed. Would have been a ton of money. I see people on droplets hosting it. Maybe I need to throttle or something? #python
Heading out to Big Bend National Park later this week. Worried about work, always working haha. It should be okay though. I have backup a little. #BBNP
I need to clean up so much of my online presense, I have stuff everywhere, several blogs, github, x, mastadon, threads, insta, reddit. Will we ever have a single space like twitter again?
I have this running joke when I see a heron in the wild, I yell "AHH A PENGUIN!" and the kids roll their eyes. They're tired of me calling them penguins.
