Saturday morning 5k; this week with added 20lb vest. You know, for when you want to put back some of the weight you’ve lost.

wildhorseeducation.org/2026/04/16/b... Along with all of the other nefarious garbage, our current administration is curtailing language in laws that prevent the export of wild horses and burros to slaughterhouses in other countries. $80,000 paid to ranchers that do this. Seriously.

One of the cool things about having property beside an old abandoned nursery is that you wind up with stuff like multiflora roses in the tree line around your pastures.

Another beautiful Saturday morning run! 55F, sun just coming up with light cirrus clouds.

You know turnover is bad when an outside maintenance crew member describes you as “that guy that’s been here forever” and you’ve just passed your three and a half year mark.

Gotta say, that Trump library rendering gives some serious Biff Tannen’s Pleasure Paradise vibes.

Saturday morning 5k! Beautiful weather this morning. Sunny, low 50s, and just a touch of a breeze. As the great Barney Stinson once said: "Step one to running a marathon: you run. There is no step two"

To the person in the inflatable duck costume crowd surfing and venturing into the mosh pit at the Bad Omens show in Raleigh last night: You are a CHAMPION.

What happens when a nursery gets abandoned. These are back in the woods behind our property.

The old man is getting there. 2 miles in 20:20 ain’t half bad. Now to get that time without having to push that hard!

For a minute there, Thom Tillis almost had a spine. Then it slipped through his grasp as he continues his streak of backing every single Trump nominee.

One of the Mrs’s old coworkers gave us an amazing framed 1843 geological map plate of France (from a Malte-Brun book.) Vive La France!🇫🇷

Or a lot

Getting set for the Duke/UNC game.

This is the first official sub-12 minute mile I’ve run since 2002. At 48 years old, I promised my wife that we’d start working out doing weights and cardio six days a week. I tuned 49 a week ago and we are both going strong. It’s never too late to start! Just KEEP AT IT!
