I gotta say, unfolding and slipping a goodnite pad under myself without waking my partner up was quite the challenge after realizing I should’ve worn something thicker than a Bambino Biancho to bed. Didn’t feel like changing though, and I don’t think I woke him up. 😅

Lots of great signs today. This one might be my favorite. 😄

Every few years I’ll read a Redwall book or two (or 5) when I feel the need for something light. The one I’m reading currently has me all aflutter for big gruff tattooed sea otters. Never mind how tattoos would work with fur. (The badgers also leave me swooning. 😂) Formative furry stuff for sure.

I was thinking of having a quiet introverted night at home, and then saw this. . . Haven’t decided if I’m going yet, but tempted. 😂

Making a quick trip down to Portland in my old wagon Saturday night through Sunday afternoon included getting photos of my odometer flipping over to 365k miles while doing precisely 65mph. *Totally isn’t easily amused.* Also, older photo, but same car as this post-hike change.

“It’s like taking you to the dog park.” - My parter about going with me to the abdl night at the Lumberyard on Friday night.

Photos taken from my campsite this weekend before and after 30 or so hours of heavy rain. Not quite the warm sunny weekend I was hoping for, but still pretty!

Beautiful day at TRC! Also, pro tip: If your shorts are wet enough, no one can tell when you leak!

Does it count as ‘roughing it’ if you leave the memory foam mattress topper at home when you go camping?

I took Saturday off to hike up to a forest fire lookout in the North Cascades. Not sure it made up for being a bit of a hermit lately, but it was pretty nice out there! 😅

Padded camping is less than a week away, and I don’t feel like waiting. 😂 Here’s a couple photos from past years hanging out down near the river.

"I always saw the world as a magical place. [...] I listened to the stories I was told. My eyes grew wide when I heard about the oceans, and the heroes that sailed them. [...] And my mind took me on journey after journey out to the stars, dreaming of one day sailing amongst them."

Trying on some new plain white and black shirts to verify their fit. I got them. :-)

Of course you find Santa attractive. He's a generous, kind, hyper-responsible figure that projects emotionally-available masculinity combined with a strong sense of right and wrong, a dedication to his work, and a wood shop. Plus he likes cookies.

Hope everyone who celebrates had a great Thanksgiving! Round 3 included spending the night at the Oregon coast for a second year with @tyber.bsky.social and his family. Beautiful sunny morning, if a bit cold to recreate these photos. 😅

1k followers raffle! I just reached 1k and am doing a flat color character raffle. To take part just follow, repost and comment with your character ref. Raffle ends the 15th!

A bit blurry, but whatever, it feels appropriate that way. 😂 A night out getting dinner with a friend, going to a pup social and seeing friends I hadn’t seen in a while, making some new ones, just being in a queer space, and driving my old ‘85 wagon has me feeling a bit better about the world.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

If you’re in the US, you know what to do! Got my ballot in last night.

Starbucks coffee is pretty marginal at best, but seeing the cute papa bear type who frequents my standard one helps make up for it. . .

Heading back north to Seattle means getting changed at the first opportunity. Waterproof seats or not.

I’m loving this Lego coat rack my 5 year old niece made.

Riding shotgun on my way to Portland for the weekend, so figured it’s a good time to finally make the transition from that other platform!
