Sunday morning at the tiny cabin. Doing some organizing and cleaning. It was just above freezing when I got here. But now it’s 65 degrees inside with the wood stove and it feels like 95 degrees. I opened the windows for a breeze. It’s dead silent outside. Only the crackle of the fire.

I rescued this guy yesterday. Or he rescued me. Oliver is a 3 year old schnauzer-poodle mix, and is such a chill pup. Looking forward to getting him a bath and groom, and future adventures.

Quiet Saturday morning coffee and snuggles. Oliver Twist is a big cuddle bug.

Checking the trail cameras and found lots of wildlife, which is what I like to see. Several large buck are making an appearance. I caught two fighting just at the edge of the frame. Pretty cool.

It’s throwback Thursday. No date on this photo. My guess is early 1900s. Appears to be the small village of Center in western Perry County, PA. The dirt road is present day Route 274.

Birch plywood is ready for the tiny cabin interior. This place has been a long time coming. I’m getting excited for the interior to be finished, relaxing by the wood stove, making a cup of coffee and cooking on the stove, and enjoying some quiet time here.

Found some healing yesterday with amazing people. After visiting The Pond, I headed to rural Juniata County for peach cobbler, coffee, campfire time, puppy cuddles, and real conversation. It helped me get through a tough day.

Better late than never. 🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day to all who served. A special shoutout to this one — my dad — who served in the U.S. Marine Corps during Vietnam. He had surgery today, and I’m grateful to hear it went well. I love this man and couldn’t be prouder of him. ❤️💪 #VeteransDay #USMC #ProudSon

Still holding onto Fall. I was expecting a rainy Saturday, but it was a beautiful morning to clean up some trees that blew down and lots of branches from the storm last week.

It’s a beautiful day to be out here on a trail. Decided to visit Schull’s Rock overlook at Susquehanna Riverlands State Park today. Passed over a dozen people on the trail. I’ve only been here once before, around two years ago with Terry Pup. Short drive from Harrisburg, PA.

Throwback Thursday! These are dated December, 1966. My dad with what I believe is a 1966 Chevy Chevelle Malibu. Laying some rubber on Route 17 in front of the farm outside of Ickesburg, PA.

This kept me kinda busy last night. Cleaning up this John Deere 50 V chainsaw. It’s been sitting for years. The last time it ran was probably 5+ years ago. And before that, probably 30 years ago. I haven’t tried starting it yet as it will definitely need new fuel, and probably an air filter.

Fowler Hollow Run at Fowler’s Hollow State Park will always be a special place for me. It’s such a beautiful park.

Land Rover Defender 90 on the course. These rigs always seem to do well on the trials course. If I ever fall into $40k-$50k, I will own one.
