Team Red, White, and Blue out running the Twin Cities Marathon this morning!

Twin Cities Marathon morning!

Very happy that I found out you can get 12” firewood. This fits perfect in the sauna oven. Let it snow! 🥶🔥

Taking my (very dirty) boat in for the winter.

QMSB Trip - Day 14: https://www.thingelstad.com/2025/08/08/qmsb-trip-day.html

Tracks in Fargo, ND.

Tyler and I stopped by Paradox Comics-n-Cards and got the last two packs they had — Pokémon Surging Sparks. Lots of bulk.

Delightful Nitro Oat Latte at Youngblood Coffee Roasters in Fargo, ND. This place has their coffee situation dialed in right. 👏☕️

QMSB Trip - Day 13: https://www.thingelstad.com/2025/08/07/qmsb-trip-day.html

Fergus Falls has done a great job building up the area around the Otter Tail River with a short river walk and nice spots to enjoy a great evening outside.

Checked into the Mill Boutique Hotel in Fergus Falls. This place has just opened up and is still getting things set up. I dig the setup in an old mill building. If your a fan of exposed brick and concrete this is the place for you.

Stopped in Alexandria to try Up North Ice Cream. Tons of flavors all made in-house and delicious. They had a Sweet Corn ice cream that was pretty wild.

Olson Family Vacation 2025.

Tammy and I cycled 8.28 miles in 49.7 minutes on the Stowe Recreation Path. Ran out of time to do the last bit but covered most of it. 🚴‍♂️

QMSB Trip - Day 10: https://www.thingelstad.com/2025/08/04/qmsb-trip-day.html

We all rented bikes at [Local Motion](Island Line Trail in Burlington and rode the Island Line Trail over the Colchester Causeway. We took the Bike Ferry across “the gap” and finally turned around at Allenholm Farms on South Hero Island and made our way back.

Riding the Colchester Causeway on the Island Line Trail in Burlington, Vermont. The causeway itself is 3 miles long. https://www.thingelstad.com/2025/08/04/riding-the-colchester-causeway-on.html

Morning cappuccino at Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea. Very good.

I upgraded to ChatGPT Pro a couple months ago and it has been amazing. Now I upgraded to Claude Max as well, mostly because Claude Code is that useful. I use both for research, ChatGPT is way better for images and creative. Claude for building projects and executing things. Incredible stuff. 👨‍💻

Quebec Old City.

Much too sunny but we got to Quebec City and made our way into the Old City where we are staying.

Our plan was to rent bikes from Local Motion and then ride the amazing Island Line Trail including the Bike Ferry but the rain was too much. We rented everything and started to ride and it was just a lot of wet. We will try again on August 4th!

Waiting for the train in the rain. ☔️
