The laguna meadows trail in the Chisos basin is a good climb and the penicles trail is supposed to be good as well. You can go in on one of them, hit the south rim trail for the best view and come back on the other with a spur up to Emory peak. I really enjoyed big bend.

Neat!
Thanks BigDAM! I've never been to the southwest. Hiking out there seems as foreign to me as walking on Mars. |

This randomly showed up in my back yard today. Hopefully it's just adopted into the flock with the other two chicks I did but last month.

I'm terrible with predictions.
 But, here go mine anyway... I predict: Somebody at work will do something dumb; My wife will complain about (fill in the blank); I won't hit the lottery.  |

I woke up way too early.
Started thinking about my grandparents for no reason at all. Years alive were: 1907-1978 paternal grandmother 1914-1978 paternal grandfather 1915-1986 maternal grandfather 1920-2011 maternal grandmother I'm lucky to have met them all, plus a couple great-grandparents. |

It blows my mind now remembering
I had talked with people that were alive in the 1880s.

I didn't appreciate how much history my great-grandparents had witnessed, until I was much older. My Virginia-born stepfather related to me how his great-grandmother from NC would tell him that when she was a young child, Yankees would come up to her family's farm asking for food. (Whether it's a Civil War or Reconstruction memory, I don't know.) |

My grandfathers were born not long after the 1st flight of the Wright brothers and watched the moon landing on television. An amazing time to be alive.

I was only 8 months old during the final Apollo (17) mission.
It would've been neat to watch a live moon landing. Heading to the Gun Show later today. Nice that it's just 15 minutes away. |

Awesome night sky pics!
Father's Day was okay up until my 10 y.o. got a tiny scratch and freaked out. Of course his mother had to baby him. He's never going to "grow up" if she always treats the kid like an infant. Ruined the evening. |

Take him hunting, camping, etc.
I managed to commission in the Army w/ a blood phobia.  The only time I've seen someone get shot (at a gunshow) I grabbed a tourniquet and marched over there. Happily not needed, she only lost a toe. |

Backyard camping in the Shenandoah Valley.
   It's after midnight. My oldest son and I hit the hay hours earlier. My youngest son and his cousins woke me up about 15 minutes ago while playing tag. ETA - Air raid siren at 0215. Clear, calm sky... wtf?! |

We got more stuff done in construction
and did it better 30 years ago without all the electronic devices, office "help," and fake Safety Managers that are forced on us today. Five hours before we set a single piece of equipment yesterday. Modern commercial construction is bullshit.

He had wired the light switch so that when you flipped it on, both sides of the circuit were connected directly to each other in the switch. He's a very smart guy but doesn't know how 120 VAC works. |
