Whoa! I look forward to giving this a try. The provider I use is a pain in the 🍑

I did in fact heal up in time, and it was my favorite round of the season. Gorgeous late-September conditions, nobody on the course, creative approach shots, and I played for essentially free thanks to a friend who works at Boyne. You can't beat it.

I watched Zach win my club's big tournament a few years ago. He's quite the golfer! cheboygangolf.com/blog/zach-ko...

Around here, whitetail deer spend a lot of time in the water during summer months when mosquitoes and flies are rampant. Don’t know about other species. Mud?

Updating DNS records has never once been straightforward in this situation. Never. These two companies make sure that once you opt-in to their website builder, it's difficult to leave. They bury DNS settings in the UI and sometimes even require a phone call with support...to update a DNS record!

I operate a web agency and routinely find myself in this situation: a client has purchased and then launched their website through one of these two services. They eventually realize they need a better website, so they hire me.

Anyway sorry for the rant. I'm all for wolf re-introduction, but that particular org's stance on non-lethal harvest worries me.

A lot of hunters are concerned about elk/deer predation, but coyotes pose a much greater threat, that's just math. And we have open season on those. Farmers are compensated for wolf-related livestock losses, but hunters get zilch if they lose their hunting dog. Obviously this is my chief concern.

But we can't have that until they're federally delisted, and federal delisting is not going to happen because so many people are cuckoo coconuts WOLVES ARE MAGICAL MAGESTIC UNTOUCHABLE. Yes, but we also have to manage them with a clear head like we do with any other species

Our wolf population in Michigan's upper peninsula has recovered and reached carrying capacity, and were recently delisted as endangered at the state level (I know CO is nowhere near this point yet.) We're at the point where MI legitimately may need a wolf harvest season.

Ski all the way. Wolves are the ultimate coolest animal, but organizations that want wolf reintroduction and don't support the eventual management of those populations through lethal means are reckless imo.

Additionally, I am always open to entertaining short-term contracts doing web stuff*

*web stuff = building, instrumenting, or otherwise improving websites

Great pictures! I love the beach one. Babies at the beach is the cutest 😊

There's really no good fix for the root issue, but you can address the symptoms. In this case: a tiny steristrip bandage on my eardrum to reduce the vibrations from my voice and other noises. A stupid cheap & simple fix. I have relief for the first time in a decade. I feel silly for waiting so long.
