It’s real money and the IBEW will train you. No insurance copays. Crazy retirement. Need some basic math skills to pass entrance exams

The yellow clouds of pollen blowing off the cedar trees are very unpleasant today 🀒

Building a forestry plan for a 900 acre park today. Gorgeous day in the woods!

I’ve got a radcity 5. It’s fine. The company is in financial trouble. I’d recommend a name brand that would allow long-term service. My wife’s giant is awesome. Trek or specialized. When the direct to consumer bramds disappear, you still need to fix your bike.

I’m blessed with a great trail system

Bikes aren’t slower when you factor in parking!

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Spring- The ping of pickleball and the roar of leafblowers in the suburbs.

Had the same bike pump longer than my kid’s been alive. It croaked and I replaced it with a beautiful new Silca. The practice of getting ready for a bike ride has so many little steps, almost like a religion.

I’ve been in caretaker mode for a couple weeks and you really don’t realize how much your partner helps until it’s all you. Even in a pretty balanced domestic partnership, it creates appreciation!

That’s the interview I watched. I felt dumber for experiencing it.

I listened to an interview last week and he said absolutely nothing. Doesn’t stand for anything, won’t show his cards.

Devastated to lose some brilliant seasonal conservation staff and access to the coffee shops they all work at 😒

We’re about a month away from the installation of β€œPicnic”. The biggest conservation art installation in Kansas that I’m aware of.

There’s a weird bird in Lawrence…weird enough to take work off tomorrow and find it?

This is Hippo. He's visiting Scotland for the first time. Had no idea they made squeaky toys for humans too. 14/10 (TT: kelseydarragh)

Must be a new PokΓ©mon event? 400 people in my local park, staring down at phones on a beautiful day. Fucking depressing. The kids at the skate park were the only people actively engaged in the world around them.

I’d strongly recommend a Stop The Bleed class. Packing wounds and tourniquets. More likely to use it than CPR these days.

Yeah..we had to discuss snuggle zones
