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
June 10, 2025 at 7:39 PM
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!

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."

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.
May 15, 2025 at 5:40 PM
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!

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?
