I’m in the middle of nowhere Utah and I got a notification from MEATER.

I haven’t seen my MEATER in more than two years - since I moved out and started couch surfing.

Is this a bug in the hardware where it will read ANY probe in range???

If you're looking for photos from my trips (any of them, but really this one right now) you need to head over to my Patreon. patreon.com/d3photography

It's free, if you need it to be. But it is the only place to see the final products from my travels -- like this one of tonight's sunset.

There's a formation in Canyonlands National Park in eastern Utah called "Paul Bunyan's Potty"

I'm pretty sure Paul isn't quite big enough to use it... #nationalparks #cantdrivethere #takeonlyphotosleaveonlyfootprints

I’ve been extremely under employed for more than two years. I’ve traveled all over the western half of the country in that time taking photos and just trying to mange and deal.

I’m drained. I feel like I have nothing left to fight for. I haven’t slept in my own bed since mid January 2024.

One last afternoon in Grand Lake/Granby.

A little car exploration before the wind and sleet arrived.

Hey @shwood.com -- After recommending your new magic kit to a friend's partner as a gift idea I was putzing around the website and clicked the "other top rated products" and the first two are 404. Thought you'd like to know.

Hey @kairyssdal.bsky.social here's a good YouTube channel about how a guy in the PNW is reopening an old gold mine: www.youtube.com/channel/UCJJ...

Mt. Baker Mining and Metals was founded in 2011 by Jason Gaber. MBMM was born as a business to meet demand created when word of the Gaber’s ingenuity spread throughout the small-scale mining community...

Hey @johnmoe.bsky.social only listened to a part of the episode this morning but it got me thinking... have you ever chatted with John Tauer at St. Thomas? He's their MBKB but also a psychology prof and has done a lot on the balance of kids and sport.

Hi.
This isn’t getting better.
It won’t be getting better anytime soon.
I’m just doing a lot of stalling.
That is your unemployment and homeless update.
Carry on with your regularly scheduled TikTok video watching.
It’s fine. Everything is fine.

750 days and counting...

Tis the time of year where I am kept awake at night terrified that my next major event will fail and cost me every penny I have left to my name and be the last.

Anxiety is so much fun!!!!!

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Hey @dbrauer.net do you have any insight on "Easy Day Cafe" opening (soon?) in the Royal Grounds spot on 42nd and Grand? Plastic was down today, they had an airpot outfront but didn't seem actually open - more a social for the neighborhood on a Sunday.

I am ANTIFAcsist. Proud of it. I love the rule of law and adherence to the constitution.

Unlike the administration.
You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric.

Dangerous times.

Anyone else in #LindenHills recently get their mains water back having issues with water pressure? That is ... no water for an hour or more at a time? This started after it was restored in August. Typically intermittent but this outage is at almost an hour. #minneapolis

Three years.

Saturday marked the start of my third year unemployed.

Thousands of applications. A few dozen screener calls. A dozen interviews.

No insurance. No home. No light at the end of the bleakest tunnel of my life.
