Now I've got to start collecting Denver Airport therapy dog collector's cards in addition to the Delta aircraft type cards!

Checked off another National Park today! Went on a guided tour of Rocky Mountain NP and got some great pics at Sheep Lakes and Bear Lake.

Gem Lake is very pretty ✨

Well that's pretty ⛰️

Running Saturday, hiking Sunday - good weekend 😊

Fun view from this train, too!

Another very fun train I rode on this trip was the DTW ExpressTrain! I love the fact that you can watch it go by INSIDE the terminal

While not the most functional transit system, the views are good!

The Detroit People Mover is interesting... Goes in a counterclockwise-only loop on a 3 mile track around downtown. It runs ever ~10 minutes. Most stops are a short walk from each other... But as a tourist it was fun!

Visited the GM Renaissance Center last night! Portman architecture, Corvettes, and a view!

Work trip! It's cooooold here in Detroit!

Successful Friendsgiving with my coworkers! We went to The Huntington botanical gardens, had dim sum (some people's first time!) and played pickleball afterwards!

Good Saturday run! Not big miles like my training had dictated, but trying to get back into a good rhythm. Completing 3 workouts in 3 days, today's route being an uninterrupted 6 mi run makes me happy. Plus I saw a train and a coyote 🚂🐕‍🦺

The urge to get a mountain bike is stronggg. Watching Berm Peak videos on how capable a sub $1,000 bike can be has really given me the itch to try my hand at it.

Staying in town for Thanksgiving this year. Enjoyed a nice trail run in Angeles National Forest today with a beautiful sunset. Glendora Mountain Road was pristine quiet as was the trail - seeing the metropolis below from the stillness of the mountains is very enjoyable.

Still love my Yellow Jackets ❤️ 🐝 always will.

Anyone know any good places for public fursuiting in the LA/OC area? I've never suited outside of a con and now that the weather is getting cooler I want to try something outdoors with more furries.

kitties! ♥️ Went to the San Diego Zoo last weekend and 1) spent all day and didn't see everything, it's undoubtedly an amazing place 2) the cats are still the best 😸

It's raining in SoCal and I love it ☺️🌧️

Long Beach Festival of Flight today! It's a smaller event the Long Beach Airport puts on every year, it isn't a giant airshow with fighter jets abound, but great community outreach - so many kids and families able to get up close with the aircraft!

The urge to commission an art liberty, simplistic design, one piece plushsuit is strong today 🤔

Fourteen miles yesterday had me tired 🥵🥵🥵 Also, "Shady Canyon" may have trees, but the bike path itself is barely shaded lol ☀️

Next time I'm up in NorCal I definitely want to visit some furries I know up that way! While the I-5 drive isn't very scenic, it's not too far of a drive for a 3 day weekend

Late post but I had an impromptu visit to the Bay last weekend and had a great time! Stayed with a friend in Mountain View and also visited a friend in Berkeley. The Mountain View Farmers Market recommendation from my coworker was great!

Weekend trip to the Bay, why not? Meeting some old friends up here in NorCal for a 3 day weekend!

Got a bonus at work! It's finally time to give my Corvette some much needed love mechanically, and also very tempted to get an ultra low seat mount and go full fixed-back seat. When riding in a friend's prepped C5Z the difference between stock and bucket is astronomical.

Lily needs some bows as accessories, those ones that are at the back of the collar look really really cute

Spent Sunday on a mini road trip with @speirgan.bsky.social to visit some planes and missiles at Point Mugu and Blackbird Park. Definitely going back to Palmdale to see those stealthy beauties again soon. I love little adventures like these 😊

I should visit the Bay Area again...been a while 🤔

It was a loooong day of hiking but after not summiting last year, finally reaching the peak feels so so sweet! I need to give the body a rest now before jumping into the next adventure!

Lily is here! 😸 Now with more fur, more pink, and more plush! The cat was in the bag but now the cat's out of the bag! I can't thank @fishbowl-fantasies.bsky.social enough for bringing her to life as a fullsuit this time!

Cat mode engaged.

A short but fun trip to AFC - fullsuit Lily is here and pics to come!

just gauging some interest, i'd love to take on more slots for handfuls of @pulex.bsky.social sticker-packs! (recolours/edits) ✨ more examples below! 12$ per sticker, if you buy a whole pack i'll throw in 1-2 for free!! RTs = 🧡

Morning: 🏃👟 Evening: ⛳🏌️‍♂️ ..today was a good day. I've been battling mentally day by day recently, hence the quiet from me on here, but today was a good one and I want to share it with y'all.

Running second shift from 2pm-2am is tiring for sure and not something I'd want long term, but late last night, I was responsible engineer on console for testing that's setting company history and I can't deny...that's cool.

About to go out for a weekday run at 10am because I'm working engineering test support for 2nd shift this week...feels weird. Hopefully I can start my main training this week off right for my 50k in 16 weeks.

Time for a run. 🏃 The little things make all the difference on a big weekend run sunscreen, post run snacks and shake, change of shirt, etc. It's 85°F at home today but I want new trails so I'm driving inland where it's forecasted to be a high of 100°F 🥵 Time to put in the sweat equity 💦

Went on a run, feel somewhat better than this morning

More than once before I've quietly cleaned out my personal belongings from my desk at work so that I could just walk away at a moment's notice for one of multiple different reasons. It's not a healthy place to be in.

I never should have seen my career as something that can bring me fulfillment. I should have been treating it as something that is 100.0% transactional and 0.0% enjoyable. If I did that from the beginning I wouldn't be stuck in this place where I try to balance both and end up disappointed in both.

I never should have started my career in a field that's engaging and interesting to me. I sit here 8 yrs later and those years have been for naught as it seems I haven't actually *built* any career. I should have focused solely on money and location, and stuck with that til I retire or stop

Thinking about quitting my job and stepping away from engineering entirely.

Heavily on the depresso post train lately, came on quickly this time, I hope it passes

Should I quit?

Frustrated about so many different areas of my life concurrently right now

Wish I could turn my brain off

Sunk cost fallacy when applied to big, impactful things in your life is a hard pill to swallow

What am I doing here?
