Autumn!
The leaves are changing in the Catskills! I put together the collage above from some of the leaves I saw around the yard this week. One of my drones is also now perched (probably permanently) in the top of one our tallest trees. But that is a story for a different day. I have uploaded a 10kx10k px version of the photo over here, for any other nerds who might be interested.
September 2024 Playlist
This one was a shorty. To be honest, September sneaked up on me a bit this year. As a bonus, I’m also posting my autumn running playlist (so far).
Aaaaand, some workout jams–
Intro to Hiking

Early last summer when it was becoming clear that our little bun in the oven was a viable mini-human, I did my best to temper my imagination from running wild with ideas of what he might be like. One recurring daydream I encountered was bringing the little guy to enjoy nature with me. Some of my fondest childhood memories are those of spending days and nights with my dad hiking/fishing/camping in the woods, at the lake, in the desert, etc..

Drone Snap over the Moose River
The last weekend of July was spent on two wheels. Finding time in the saddle has been a bit tricky this summer since the arrival of our newest family member. Thanks to his grandma’s willingness to trek northward and hang out with the dude, I was able to sneak away for a long weekend and put in some serious mileage upstate with a couple of friends.
Similar to a trip we did last August, we started in Catskill Park on a Friday and snaked through back roads northward to North Creek, where we spent the night. We racked up the odometer day Saturday doing a huge loop of the Adirondacks through Lake Placid and Old Forge, ending back in North Creek for the night. Sunday morning we set out for a leisurely ride back to the Catskills. Unlike last year, we had perfect weather the entire time. Really couldn’t have asked for more ideal riding conditions. I posted more details about the route over here, for anyone interested.
The gallery below is a set of photos from the trip mostly by me, with a handful of snaps from my new friend Lukas, who was riding the Street Fighter. Good times were had by all–

Some end of summer jams. Enjoy-
Catch You on the Flipside, My G
Delighted Commuters Comfortably Waiting on the Small Portion of the Union Sq. Platform that is Not Encumbered by Construction Barricades.
The G Train in an interesting animal. While it can be said that each NYC Subway line has it’s own personality, The G is unique in the fact that it is the only line in the MTA that does not go through Manhattan. It runs the length of western Kings County and terminates just north of Newtown Creek in Long Island City. Before I became to rely on it, I used to joke that the G Train didn’t actually go anywhere.Continue reading

Generational Bucket Hats

Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have spent a lot of quality time with both of my grandfathers during the formative years of my youth. My paternal grandfather was brick mason who never fully retired. In almost every memory that I have of him, he is either building something or fixing something (when we weren’t fishing or camping together). Continue reading

All over the map on this one. Some old, some new, some mellow and some less-than-mellow-
