I try to be in the right place, at the right time. Sometimes it works out. This was at Cottonwood Camp in Ft. Smith Montana.

Our first major road trip in the adventure buggy. It’s tiny, but it does the job.

It’s a cute little bastard. I got another tiny little rig for road trips so I don’t have to move the fifth wheel. So nimble.

I took a little road trip that brought me through Marble Canyon Arizona this week. I had been there before, but it was the wrong time of year. Glad to add this one to the collection.

I've really been enjoying fitness apps in VR/MR much more than I thought I would. Living in an RV, this is so great. Do any of you work out with virtual reality?

I tested a bunch out and decided to go with FitXR for a while, and I like it a lot. What are you using?

I'm trying to eat more yogurt but I'm too cheap to pay for it. That's SO MUCH yogurt.

I haven't laughed this hard in I don't know how long. This might be the greatest article I've ever read.

I should write an air fryer cookbook. I've been using the air fryer for every meal for a month and I've learned some things. AirFryer4Eva

It's that time again. Year after year, I never tire of the dark night sky. This is an abandoned ghost town in New Mexico.

I'm usually 10 years late to the household cooking appliances game. I just learned about the instant pot last year and it changed my life.

Yeah, I just got an air fryer. OH MY FUCKING GOD ON DEMAND NACHOS

I spun up a MUD based on SMAUG last night because I can't let 1995 die.

mud.macneilmediagroup.com 4020

If people start making characters and playing it, I'll keep building it out.

Real clients work better, but there are web clients now. mudslinger.net/play/

This is Metate Arch in Devil's Garden, and Outstanding Natural Area in Escalante Utah. I camped out there for about a month to get this shot right.

Worth it.
