Storage units are a scam. They've raised my rate 2x in the last year and now it's double what I started at. It's the size of a closet. When I called the local manager he was able to magically get a "rent delay" but the real kicker is that he's not even the one who raises the rate, it's Big Storage.

I've been slacking on my trout Tuesday because I caught this beauty in NM at the Vermejo Park Ranch Flyathlon! It's a Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout, a species the ranch and NM Parks and wildlife have worked painstakingly to restore their native populations. Such a beauty.

Mushroom Monday! This is not a mushroom, it's Spotted Coralroot (corallorhiza maculata). They look a lot like orchids and do not rely on photosynthesis, rather, they rely on fungi for nutrients (myco-heterotrophic dependence).

Trout Tuesday! On Saturday I'll be in New Mexico fishing for Rio Grande Cutthroat!

Are we ready for mushroom Monday? Ben and I collected a ton of pristine King Bolete mushrooms to make a miso mushroom pasta. Sauteed in rice vinegar provided by @wolfspokes.bsky.social

Trout Tuesday!! I'm racing the Vermejo Park Flyathlon in NM on July 12! 10 miles, exclusively Rio grande cutthroat, and a definite good time. Still raising money for Running Rivers!

Mushroom Monday! Found my first Aspen Bolete over the weekend! Left it behind because it is illegal to collect in state parks. Note, it does not harm the mushrooms ability to spread its spores by picking it!

Ending the Roadless Rule is a public lands catastrophe. It opens up some of the last pristine places up for extractive industries. We lose wilderness, they profit, we get stuck with the clean up bill. EVERY TIME. An old growth forest is worth much more than 2x4s and toilet paper. RIP the Tongass

We're back for trout Tuesday!! Caught this brown on the Frying Pan, Ben always gets after me for setting the hook wrong but I always panic 😅

The fishing was so good I skipped dinner and walked until 9 pm.

Itty bitty baby Pygmy Nuthatch on my hike with my Dad yesterday. Probably just jumped out of the nest. My stupid camera wouldn't focus on his cuteness.

As my dog gets more fit, she pulls me with less effort. As she pulls me with less effort, I have to run faster to get a decent workout. Are we doomed to just run faster and faster until our legs fall off??

Trout Tuesday where I definitely caught a brown trout yesterday and failed to get a picture but here's my cool new Coors Banquet reel from Ross Reels that I won at NASCARP to make up for it

NASCARP 2025 was a success! We ran 3 laps, chugged 3 Mexican lagers (rimmed with sponsoring BBQ rub), and attempted to catch 3 fish! All while raising money for native trout conservation!!

A recap of my burro race! Lucy and I had so much fun on a technical course, and the weather held out! #donkeys #burroracing

Trout Tuesdayyyy!! This Saturday is our NASCARP race and we have our jerseys! Alex and I will be running for trout conservation and praying for survival. 3 laps 3 fish 3 beers.

Anna, Turbo, and I found a mossy elm log piled high with golden oyster mushrooms

Trout Tuesday already? I might start running out of trout pictures and I'll tell you right now I'm running out of patience the way I'm working in a cubicle and not fishing RN.

The amount of strength a store-bought corn tortilla gains when you throw it in a hot pan is insane. Piling fillings on it like "my son, you are ready, you were baptized by fire." #tacos

I asked AI to provide a visual example illustrating moment of inertia. Glad to know my I-bam is more resistant to bending than my rectonoge because....colors?

Look at my dogs. I love them. I also am endlessly annoyed by them. I want to give them the world. But they are insatiable assholes.

Trout Tuesday. Did some course recon for NASCARP and the stocker rainbows are a smidge finicky. I caught 3, Alex didn't catch any. Hoping we can get her set up with a winning fly for race day. We've raised $2k for native trout! #flyfishing

My race partner Lucy was in a mood on Saturday's training run. She wanted nothing more than to be left alone to eat grass and anyone who tried to convince her to move got a swift kick. I'm beginning to question my choices, but what did I expect trying to run with a stubborn animal?

#trouttuesday with a bebe trout I caught last Friday. The way I wish to be fishing right now and not working ...

Flights to Japan and some hotels booked. Hoping the dollar holds strong between now and August but I'm not holding my breath

Trout Tuesday! Went fishing on Clear Creek last Saturday and caught some hungry lil guys! #flyfishing #trout #rainbowtrout #browntrout

The Gunnison Sage Grouse is unique to Colorado with less than 5000 individuals. I intend to contact representative Hurd's office along with other conservationists and upland hunters to say we don't want this. projectupland.com/public-lands...

I'm so tired of AI. The corny trends yes but more so how realistic it's getting and how I view everything nowadays questioning its authenticity. I think others who are tired like me will eventually leave social media and pursue in-person relationships more than ever. I'm just burnt out on fake shit.

Trout Tuesday! Our CO state fish, the Greenback Cutthroat trout is a beauty to behold and needs our protection! Cutthroat trout like the Greenback and Rio Grande cutthroat are the ONLY trout native to the state of Colorado, but now must compete with other introduced species. Boy are they gorgeous.

About once a month my office is flooded with the smell of formaldehyde and "eucalyptus" as we restock the freezers with cadaver feet. I haven't liked Eucalyptus scent since getting this job.

Trout Tuesday! In my opinion, the most beautiful with their striking red fins and deep colors. Native to areas west of the Mississippi, they tend to like forested streams with dark pools. They were introduced to the West and while I love them, they compete with our native cutthroat trout.

Two triathletes decide to take on a new kind of multi sport: Run, Fish, Beer. NASCARP. If you wanna give to a good cause supporting native Colorado trout, sponsor me and get your logo or face temporarily tattooed on my body on race day! www.flipcause.com/secure/team_...

Trout Tuesday! Today is the rainbow trout, a favorite of many. To me, they remind me of a ham sandwich and ham sandwiches are great sometimes but sometimes they are also just ok. In my experience they don't fight hard, but everyone loves them for some reason. They do get big though!

MS Outlook makes me want to throw my computer through the wall. I want the email with the attachment. I can see it right there under my reply. Searching the sender yields nothing. Scrolling to the date yields nothing. Give me my GD attachment please I am begging you.

Tuesday Trout! Per the request of my favorite (only?) follower @wolfspokes.bsky.social , I caught this brown trout on Saturday. I like brown trout because they fight the hardest and I think the spots are pretty.

I caught the biggest fish i ever caught on CC on Saturday. Beautiful rise to the fly, and I fought it a long time before netting it. Children ran down from the playground to watch and in the chaos I didn't get a picture. I'll just have to catch an even bigger one. Below is a fish from the same day.

Went to my first HOA meeting despite owning my condo for nearly 6 years. A woman was so angry and disruptive she had to be removed by police. I might be good for another 6 years.

Finally some good news. My understanding of a federal judges power is limited but I hope this means that federal employees get their jobs back. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

I am literally never hungry when there are free bagels at work. That said, I have literally never not grabbed one of the free bagels at work. #secondbreakfast

The world is really chaotic and awful feeling right now and so here's a picture of my Bracco named Basil as a baby

Some Canadian poetry for today. From Margaret Atwood's book, Morning in the Burned House. #poem #books #writing

Burro racing is a strange sport but a fun one nonetheless. One where the primary objective is convincing an animal that running is their own idea, not yours.

Idk if I like it here yet.
