Backlog from the summer

Hit a PR of 355 this morning.. when we do our 1-rep max, it feels like “Unbreakable” sometimes, where you just keep adding a little more weight and surprise yourself.

I think this was the best I’ve felt when lifting heavy - whole body feeling good and nothing tweaked 🤣

I love this. Could have stayed here comfortably for a few days.

Before. After. 8:30 this morning.

I never used this layer in Windy before. Really cool to see, over time, predicted snow/rain and this massive area of no rain.

I *need* to get away and looking for an area with consistent snow fall vs rain as the temps are a little screwy.

A friend drew my attention back to this photo of a Raven on a local mountain from last winter.

I really like it. The ravens are very common up there but they always have this quiet depth to them and I enjoy watching them. I feel like they see a world very different from the way we perceive it.

This is going to be awful. Necessary.

This smart ass keeps parking next to me 🤣

I’ve got the blue xterra with a moderate lift and heavy duty suspension, 31” tires.

The white one is next level with high clearance bumpers, roof tent and 33” tires. Clearly an outdoors person.

I’m going to shove a photo print in his windshield next time

I don’t realize touring boots were crampon compatible until my friend told me. So…

I like these pictures of my friends in some early season skiing. Rough edits on my phone but the snow makes for a cool textured background.

When the frustration limit is full.. even this isn’t enough first thing in the morning.

Editing photos is a never ending labyrinth.

The left I did yesterday, stacking photos of different focus points/exposures.

The right was my original single image edit.

It’s something I’ve avoided because it feels inauthentic but I’m coming around to it, when they are of the same moment.

New records. No screens. No skip. Play through, experience.

Schitts Creek is special.

Good morning.

It’s pitch black in this mountain valley. I’m the only one here. The drive on the slick forest road was a little scary, and after not being this isolated in awhile, this is also scary. I had a shit week, and a shit next week, so this is kinda the “total perspective cortex”.

Wow, man.

Heavy ADHD kind of day where I can’t focus on anything.. it sucks.

I was looking forward to learning to mount my ski bindings but there’s a few things I need that aren’t worth buying to use once. So I’ll save time and get a shop to do it & I can spin around and not focus on anything.

Off leash until the eagle showed up.

This telephoto is no macro but the optics are so good it pairs well with high megapixel cameras. Last photo is the original, other two are crops.

More hacky than I would have liked. I regret giving my 3D printer to a friends kids. Well. I regret not having it. So some jank mdf ordered and …

Anyway it plays one song over and over, a mod from 1991 named “Space Debris”. No longer have the zip drive it was stored on so ripped it from youtube.

My friend was minding the park. I messaged her and asked “do you need anything”. “Beer” she joked. Hiked in 10km with camera and stuff and radioed her on the FRS “Beer delivery”.

The sunset was wicked, and then the mist rolled in for some delicious atmosphere.
