Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

A few more pictures from this year’s Appalachian Trail hike. Some days were wet and rainy. Some were incredibly still and hot. Through it all, it was fun and we had a great time.

Over the 170 miles of this year’s AT trek, the terrain changed dramatically. The landscapes were incredibly diverse, yet uniquely beautiful.

That’s awesome! Enjoy!!!

On this year’s AT trek, we walked through places with rich and significant histories. Harper’s Ferry, the Mason-Dixon Line, Mt Vernon, Gathland, the original midway point of the AT, etc.

It’s so interesting to see places like this from a perspective that’s a little off the well-worn tourist paths.

23 miles into this year’s AT trek, we entered “the rollercoaster.” It’s a 14 mile stretch of trail with 7 tightly packed ascents and descents, each about 500 ft without switchbacks. 500 ft up, 500 ft down, etc. So passing the 1,000 mile point in the rollercoaster was even more rewarding.

I’m back from my longest Appalachian Trail so far - 170 miles in 10 days. More pictures soon. A few milestones, we:
* completed VA, WV, and MD.
* crossed into PA.
* passed the 1,000 mile mark
* passed the 1/2 point of 1,090.5 miles
* entered our 7th state of the 14 states of the trail
* had fun!

Home repair kind of weekend. The downstairs washer had stopped working. Fortunately, it was an easy fix. I replaced the door lock solenoid and it’s good again. Then, the upstairs A/C unit stopped working. The condensation drain had gotten clogged which triggered the cutoff switch. #DYI

My view tonight. The clouds glowing with orange and pink as the sun dipped below the trees. The kind of sky that makes you stop for a moment and just take it in.

A peaceful evening.

I reread George Orwell’s Animal Farm recently. It seems far more poignant today than my last reading in high school. I’d encourage everyone to read it again. It’s a short, easy, thought-provoking, and timely read.

I kinda feel like Weagle Jr (our roomba) is being a little dramatic saying it’s stuck near a cliff.

Yes. Doomscrolling is scarier than any dystopian fiction I've read.

Had a great time at The Texas Bankers Association’s Cyber Tech 2025 last week. It was a great event with lots of great content and connections. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it happen!

The trilogy is a great read.

It has only three ingredients, but it's delicious, especially when served around a campfire on a cool fall evening.

Making a Dark Chocolate Cherry Cobbler (aka dump cake) this Sunday afternoon. We made and ate a lot of these in Dutch Ovens while camping back in my Scouting days.

A great way to spend a Saturday.

I used to live in an old farm house built in the early 1900’s. The most recent addition to it was in the 1950’s. Everything was retrofitted before codes so, yeah behind every plate was a surprise and a puzzle.

YouTube video by Andy Griffith - Topic What It Was, Was Football (Pt. 1 & 2)

I heard a recording from a young Andy Griffith called “What it was, was football.”

Maybe that’ll help.

I just reached the 1,000 day streak on Duolingo. I’m far from conversant in a second language but I know a lot more than I did a 1,000 days ago.

Sadie’s laying by the fireplace as I enjoy a cup of coffee this Christmas Eve morn.

What a special day! Saturday, Rachel earned her Bachelor’s Degree from MTSU! She’s always been smart, kind, and beautiful.

Her hard work has paid off, and we couldn’t be more proud of her achievements.

Hahahahahahaha!

Yes. It’s that time.

Looks amazing! Nice work.

Charlie Brown is the best!

It’s a folksy song with a cult following, especially on Thanksgiving.
