Finally some good news!

Today I went on my first solo hunt. Even though I didn’t get anything, I learned a lot about going out on my own.

What I appreciated most was just spending time in nature. It really made me think about how much of a privilege it is to live on God’s beautiful earth. 🌾🪶

Next up: installing a hitch receiver since this truck didn’t come with one.

Testing my truck’s 4 pin trailer light system- checks good. And yes I know I got pheasant wildlife plates for obvious reasons.

Two photos in the same place taken about 2 weeks apart (Oct. 14 and Oct. 27). Note the less amount of foliage on the trees in the second photo

I haven’t been as active as I’d like to this past many years. Life’s been busy, and I’ve had many challenges with my identity. But things are starting to change in a good way. I feel like I’m at a real turning point.

I’ve been feeling kinda isolated lately. There is not much queer support or furry stuff going on where I live. Thinking about moving closer to a bigger city soon, but still staying in the Midwest. Gotta have that balance of connection and open space.

That’s definitely my kind of place

The full set is here!

Let’s just say I got shit to do when it comes to necessary repairs, modifications and maintenance. Finally I have a good and reliable truck (keyword RELIABLE) that I can use for things like long road trips and goofing off in the woods or whatever

Guess who just got a Dodge 1500 Warlock? 😅😅😅

He makes a lil heart at u :>

It's raccoon day! Finnegan loves his raccoon, so make sure to love yours, too! 🦌🦝 #theanchor

ring-necked pheasant

I saw this outside my garage window when changing the oil on my truck. Maybe it’s a sign of something…

Foelan took a trip to the pumpkin patch. They said he could take home whichever one he wanted, if he could carry it to the car himself!

We're being bombarded with the idea that autism is a pitiable fate or disease, but I want autistic folks to remember that you're wonderful because of who you are, not in spite of it. Does it make some stuff harder? Sure. But does it make some stuff more interesting, rich, and fun? Damn right it does

Autistic folks have helped make me a better, happier, more fully human person, period.

Today is the first day of Fall, that means flannel weather is approaching soon!

I also just submitted my DNR paperwork too, so things are really coming together for me as a result of my planning and work.

Good news. I’m finally upgrading from my questionably unreliable truck that I’ve had since high school soon. Can’t wait to do more outdoor activities and more traveling. It will also be useful to handle brutal northern Iowa winters.

Next they'll outlaw playing hopscotch. 🏳️‍🌈

Since I’m the type who likes to wake up at about 6 AM, I know when I start going to furry cons I won’t be at the late-night events. I’ll be doing things like hanging out in the lobby in the mornings instead.

Goodnight y’all ❤️

Reducing light pollution at night helps migrating birds. Turn off the lights for them!
