What is the GOAT? Great Ohio Adventure Trail

You can see where we’re headed here:


John and I are gonna hit the 1,000 miles this year in 100 miles chunks. Some single day trips. Some camping weekends along the way.  The green rectangles are the downloaded maps that give you an idea of the path the route follows.  “Coast” to “coast” of Ohio, hahahaha.

Julie wanted to experience Buc-ee’s…!

Her first reaction, “It’s as big as a Meijer!”  She’s not wrong!

My three fave pics from the latest moon mission

Having the three planet lined up in the bottom is icing on the cake! Mercury, Venus and Mars (lower right).

That time of year again

I’m practicing up for our upcoming Kendama competition in Detroit.  I can do all the tricks in my division this year.  I’m currently doing three of each per session.  Trying to get to the point where I can do three in a row first try.  Two out of ten down, eight to go.

Julie and I visited the bird farm

On the left you have a beautiful $30,000 Black Palm Cockatoo! On the right an adorable ring necked parrot.

I miss the Far Side… 🤪

The far side of the moon emerging into the view of Artemis Il on April 6, 2026. NASA

It was really cool to be able to see the opposite side and the details in their flyby pics.  You don’t really think about the Moon’s features that much until you see a different view from our typical one and realize it looks so different.
