I build technology products, volunteer as a National Forest ranger, and am a typical Bend, Oregon resident: an outdoor sports generalist who has two dogs.

I’m heading to Sedona tomorrow to celebrate a friend’s milestone birthday. When I booked back in Jan I chose fully refundable options because I had such low confidence that vaccinations would be far enough along that I could travel safely. I’m so happy I was wrong!

I have an afternoon that is blissfully empty of meetings so I fired up a 90's acoustic spotify playlist while I go heads down on some research work. I was unprepared for the whiplash - it's the soundtrack of my study sessions as an undergrad at University of Michigan in the late 90s.

Hey Bend, how about an informal poll about long term fireworks policy? Questions below are in reference to LEGAL fireworks. Illegal ones are already, well, illegal.

Visiting family for the first time since pre-COVID and doing the important work of spending all afternoon trying to remember the name of that one restaurant that closed in 1998.

I just got a meeting decline comment from an external person (so I couldn’t see calendar availability): “I can’t make that time. That’s when I eat lunch.” I certainly didn’t need a reason but I appreciate and admire the clear boundary setting.

This is surprisingly accurate. Followed chart. Ended up at physics. It's just missing one more step. Do I like pretty pictures? Yes -> Astrophysics.

I wrote an amazing user story map in my dream last night. Also, my top desk drawer was a freezer full of ice cream sandwiches. Disappointed to wake up and realize that 1) I have nothing to show from a long night of "work", and 2) no ice cream sandwiches.

All-in with Commentary Starlink 🛰️ now. Called to cancel our old CenturyLink DSL service. The very few times I've had to rely on it for backup for Starlink it has also been down so.... 🤷🏼‍♀️

My husband: I'm going to pack light for this trip (a long weekend on the coast, staying in hotels and not camping). Also my husband: Anyways I've packed my backup screwdriver kit under the seat and where should I put my thermarest sit pad and is this Yeti cooler too big?

Someone just asked me if I had fallen asleep in a meeting because I wasn’t on mute and these guys are snoring loud enough that the mic picked it up from across the room.

Oh hey Twitter is still here. Maybe I’ll post one dog photo a day until we fade into oblivion. If this account’s only legacy after 20k+ tweets from the early days is just dog photos I won’t even be mad.

Yep leaning into the one dog photo a day. I call this sleeping position Barley Bagel even though the wrinkles lean more towards croissant.
