An owl just landed on the pole out my window and is watching me and my cat. I am impressed by the camera on the pixel 8 because it is practically black outside.

The thunder outside just keeps going. Wasn't expecting this today.

Red clouds on an evening walk.

Saw more deer today. Even more came out from the bushes on the left as I creeped up the driveway. They were very tame and did not care for me. The owner of the house said they like to hang out there all the time.

GM everyone. Back to the morning grind 🫩☕

Ducks!

I saw a deer today.

Got some new gloves yesterday (Triumph Raven Mesh). They were on the clearance rack but they weren't marked down. The salesman gave me discount on them anyway, cheaper than the other pair I was looking at. They are comfy and have a different feel than my daily driver gloves (Revit Volcano). There is no knuckle production but for my daily commute rides I think they will be great. I don't always ride fully geared up anyway.

Just got a letter in the mail, Bank of America suspended my account for "suspicious" activity. No notice. I am glad I haven't tried to use the credit card yet. I would of been super pissed if a payment wouldn't of gone through only to find out I can't log into my account.

The warmth of the sun feels very nice right now... ☀️☺️

Gave the bike some new bling 😎

Some random pictures of some stuff at #OverlandExpoPNW. I didn't take a whole lot, I like to live in the moment. Lots of expensive stuff and some cool people. There were bloggers and podcasters everywhere. Notable things are #Cliqs new chair. I have one of the originals and love it. They reinforceed the frame, has a taller back rest, an attachable cup holder (that connects to the base when folded), all while keeping roughly the same footprint when folded as the smaller chair. And while not released yet, there are going to be larger attachable foot pads for use on soft ground like sand. Defenently going to upgrade and pick these up. The guy at #UCO gave me a free spork. Free swag is always cool. I bought the last small egg carrier they had, which has been on the to buy list for a long time. After talking with the grandson of the founder of #RuckerKnives, I really want to get one. They look nice and will last multiple lifetimes. My dream is to have a good everything knife that I can pass down to my kids someday. The dudes at #RAMmounts were fun to chat with. They got a bunch of interesting ways to mount just about anything. Got to see and talk about some random concept/prototype product. #Rollercam has some interesting tiedown products. Their Roperoller would of come in handy when setting up our camping tarps 😂 As we were walking aorund we spotted a booth that was handing out Dr. Peper drinks, which cought our eye. #58Peaks has flavored syrup packets you can mix with coffee or soda for some flavor. After trying some we had to get some, if not for the exclusive expo bag they came with. The guys at the booth were some awesome dutes to BS with. And shout out the random guy who we had no idea what he was selling. He was just a dude that was told to stand by a car 😂. All in all it was fun, even though it was a bit chilly this year. The past couple years have been very hot.

Went to do an oil change on the bike only to find out the drain plug head has stripped. I have no idea how. I guess I am postponing this project yet again. Poor bike 😮‍💨

Finally replaced the batteries in my little Meshtastic devices. Downside is the replacement batteries are a smidge too fat to put the back part back on. Ideally one would design and 3d print a new back cover. I currently don't have the time for that so tape will have to do.
