Photog at heart, but I make my living flying airplanes. Been a commercial fisherman, aircraft mechanic, helicopter pilot and a few other things not so interesting...

The internet baffles me sometimes. This morning, both my microblog blogs were down for an hour. But my two testing microblog blogs were up and running. I checked Hover, my domain provider, and they had 100% uptime with no issues. Microblog showed no problems. But we are back now. Who knows 🤔

So, it starts like this: I’m outside grilling some halibut, and I see a beautiful hummingbird working the flowers just behind the grill. I run in, grab my camera (pro tip: always have a camera with you. ALWAYS.)... https://365pixels.xyz/2025/12/21/bee-kind-to-bees-so.html

Finished reading: 1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin 📚
Good book, well written. Focuses on the bankers and people who brought on the crash, the aftermath and the laws and institutions put into place to prevent another one.

Learned something new today. Even when your blog is down/offline, your old posted links still bring up a page. Pretty cool.

Road Life (279/365)
The older I get, the more I loathe hotel gyms. Glad I got them, but ugh, they can be depressing. Sometimes there just isn’t a good place to walk or hike. Come to think of it, I need to start packing a jump rope.
