Literally shaking my head. The baseless, naive, shortsighted mischaracterization and vilification of my career field by egomaniacs and narcissists is sending me. I’ve worked with NCAR scientists for 34 years. Some of the best atmospheric science research in the world includes NCAR collabs. Why? 😢

#Hiking yesterday at Rocky Face Mountain Recreation Area with the kids. It was cold, but it was before it got COLD.

A dog pog to those of a certain age.

Tripp: “The beautiful outdoors of Raleigh” 🧐 #RaiseUp

Every year I try out some recipes from NYT’s cookie week for my kids annual December Hike & Cookie Exchange with their Outdoor Service Guides group. This year I made Peanut Brown Butter Cookies, and Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies #CookieWeek #baking

Dad and I went #hiking at Catawba Falls this morning

Taps sign #Canes

That was …. Bad PK defense. #RaiseUp

Jordan Staal has fixed the Power Play, just as everyone predicted. #RaiseUp

#canes PP% 📈

Watching #canes and Geordi taking a nap in his favorite spot.

Gonna have to start calling him First Shot Freddie. #RaiseUp

It finally came! Had to contact support, however, because the customization was incorrect. 🫠

Geordi fell asleep on my lap and gave me this work of art #CatsOfBluesky

First ⭐️ Bus Stop Bussi #RaiseUp

#RaiseUp Bussi:

My kingdom for a #canes breakaway goal

WOW. Did not have a Stafford sack-fumble on my bingo card. #KeepPounding

The panthers are…exciting???

That’s one way to get points off of turnovers… let the defense score it #KeepPounding

#Canes Seth Jarvis: Canada's nemesis.

Jets look mad at Svech for getting themselves Sveched to the boards #Canes

Introduce yourself with five animals you've seen in the wild: Black bears (Pungo Lake/Pocosin Lakes Wildlife Refuge) Harbor Seals (Isle of Arran) Elk (GSMNP) Minke Whale (Iceland) Alligators (Lake Waccamaw State Park)

It was a purdy turkey

Hosting Thanksgiving means I get to show off my automated sand table 😁

Got my Thanksgiving day-before prep all done before the #canes game!

I got my kids some “backup water bottles” for school from Aldi. Decided I’d try out the rotary accessory for my laser and voila! Asked them each what they wanted on it. The backups are now the primaries.

Svech major milestone game (500th) 11/7 deployment Staal out w/illness Vs bad team Only thing missing was an unknown goalie making their NHL debut. This game was over from the start. 🫠

Aho…. Oof.

Ugh. That one’s on Miller. Should’ve stuck with his guy #RaiseUp

16 second Jordan Staal goal?!?!? #RaiseUp

Well, I passed out in the recliner during the 2nd intermission, so I missed most of the “excitement” of a OT and shootout loss. :-\ Honestly made it longer than I thought.

Finally. Thank you Blake. #CanesAfterDark

Whyyyy does it have to be a #CanesAfterDark game the day I had the worst night of sleep in a long time.

That time of year when the Japanese maple in the front of the house starts putting on a show. ❤️

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

I did yard work today instead of watching the panthers. I did catch OT when I was done. Glad they won, but it felt good to not really care and get stuff done. Maybe the Canes have spoiled me since I started following them in 2020, and the Panthers have been miserable for longer.

Oh Freddie. Roslovic is on the other team this year. 🤦‍♂️ #RaiseUp

Damn. Officially no Trypanohyncha Ocellus Jarvis. Out for the game. Heal up dude.

Jarvis showing up at the start of the 2nd period saying #RAISEUP BITCHES

Goal on the first shot of the game. Experience canes hockey

A few of my favs around me: Rocky River Coffee (Harrisburg) Press & Porter (Concord) Allegiance Coffee - Jackson Park (Concord) Summit (Davidson)

Uhhhhh, no.

When they say "America is a Christian nation" they mean selfish and cruel.

We can all count on the Leafs to do Leaf things. #RaiseUp

Nylander….oof that miss.

FDSN production director has a new favorite PP camera angle. #RaiseUp

Absolute shitshow game from the panthers.

Checkers win! And I got home in time to watch the #RaiseUp #Canes 3rd period.

Checkers! And some good seats too!
