Realizing that with Heather traveling for work for the next 2 weeks, I'm solely responsible for the dog. She really walks him for an hour every day?

New @klimmotorcycle #BadlandsProA3 #MotorcycleJacket &#BajaS4 pants. I love the 2023 colors. Amazing job by the design team with huge zone 1 #SuperFabric areas and ripstop materials throughout. Amazing quality as always. #BadlandsPro #KlimBadlands #KlimBaja #Badlands #Dualsport #ADVRider …

71 beers. that's how many we sampled over the weekend when my friend Chris visited. No more than probably 100 ounces total over 3 days but it was still an exhausting weekend.

@MikeTRose What's it like living in Groundhog day where it's monday every single day?

With 2 weeks until my surgery, it's 27 degrees outside and has rained every weekend this month. I had big plans to do a long distance motorcycle trip before my surgery which would have been down & out for 6 months but looks like that's not in the cards.

@onegeekarmy @garthbeagle reminds me of receiving Small Dog or any of the monthly reseller magazines that would come in the mail. I would always thumb through and read every page.

@chailey anything's a lawnmower as long as you can attach blades to it.

...on a Tuesday!

It was a LOT of fun unboxing the @klimmotorcycle #BadlandsPro / #BadlandsProA3 along with the #BajaS4 pants and jacket. It’s like Christmas, new thermals, boots, gloves, two new suits and all of the fixings. Video in a few days where I talk through whether you should go #Baja or #Badlands. …

Ugh. Taxes

My favorite photo of the weekend. The brewery we visited ran out of growlers so they were filling beer in milk jugs. Not sure if legal but the beer was most certainly flat by the time we got home.

“That boy ain’t right”

In Asheville for the day. First stop, Biscuit Head.

Facade is the wrong word choice. I mean, it's a house of cards. We're all still borrowing but are banks getting increasingly cash poor every day until a collapse?

Regarding #SVB news, it makes you wonder...how many regional or national banks are suffering the same issue and it's just not news yet? By most measures, the economy is strong. Job Growth, Wage Growth, people paying over sticker for cars...but how much of this is just a facade and banks are …

License acquired. I’m officially a North Carolina resident.

Turns out I’m allergic to dust mites.

My month of health continues, tomorrow, full allergies panel which is something I’ve never done before. Going to be a long 3 hours. Should help me finally get control of seasonal allergies. So far: PCP Full blood panel MRI X-rays Dermatology Eye Dental Invisalign quote (insurance would be 50% off or …

@gruber actually, I took that out of context, here's the iPhone OS 2.0 quote from the Wired's liveblog from Steve: "98 percent are browsing the web on their iPhones. 94 percent using e-mail, 90 percent using text messaging, and 80 percent are using 10 or more features. "You …

@gruber I can't find the source but I remember in the iOS 2 / 3 days, Steve touted on stage that iPhone users have accessed 90% of the settings basically showing how simple it is to find and modify the iPhone to their preferences. I wonder that that percentage is now?

Despite my shoulder issues, I am happy to have put in a nice motorcycle gear order. I sold all of my gear last month save for one jacket. I know followers here probably know nothing about motorcycles but I made about $3,000 selling 20 garments. Then spent $3300 replacing them all with new stuff. …

Dermatology follow up, my first ever visit. One mole removed and sent off to testing and after having dandruff since I was 12 years old, I finally have a prescription cream that is supposed to eliminate my need to use any dandruff shampoos or facial moisturizer. Very worth while visit now that i …

From 2016 and until I moved to North Carolina in November, I've wanted to write this blog post not to vent or rant but to capture what this chapter of my life was like and I finally sat down and wrote it. It's not perfect and I was making edits until the last minute but it's done and I …

That stress of just hitting the publish button.

@lakelady My wife offered to fill in for me on our big trips :)
