More Miles for Maryland hiking yesterday! 21.3 miles hitting every trail in Greenbrier State Park over the course of ten hours with about 3200 feet cumulative elevation gain. The elevation definitely took its toll on me; I was seriously dragging for the last […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

We were watching _Flow_, a short film about a cat navigating a post-apocalyptic world, and our cat got very interested in the cat making cat sounds on the TV.

The wind yesterday knocked over a large tree in our backyard. No one was injured, but it destroyed our shed and some lawn furniture. I haven't had a chance to check the tools in the shed yet. It didn't take out our power, but it ripped the power line (and the […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Today's long hike: 17 miles along the C&O Canal near Great Falls, including side trips to the falls overlook and the (pretty strenuous) Billy Goat Trail.

I definitely feel like I pushed myself to my limits today. I set out to hike all of the east side of Catoctin Mountain Park. I didn't finish. After about 17 miles, I was too worn out to try to do any more slope climbing. My tracking app estimates I had about […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

For my long hike yesterday, I hiked Calvert Cliffs State Park. All of it. Every foot of every trail, including several that weren't on any map I had. It took me 10 hours and 24 miles. That works out to an overall average pace of about 25 minutes per mile. I […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

BGE briefly updated our estimated time to restoration of power to be 11:00 pm tonight; they said they expected to have taken care of 80% of their customers by that time. They they later revised their estimate for us back to Wednesday, so I guess we're in the other 20%.

Power is still out. I'm hoping it gets fixed overnight. It's affecting our entire row of houses, not just the ones on the end. I don't know of the tree took out the entire circuit or if there's something else affecting the circuit and the tree will keep us in […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Thefh wind knocked down a tree in the neighbor's hard that took out our power. BGE's been notified, but who know how long it'll be until power's back. We should be fine n the meantime.

I was too tired to post at the time, but last Monday I took a use-it-or-lose-it vacation day and went hiking. I did the northern 9.7 miles of the NCR trail, plus a little ways into PA, for 20 miles out and back. I took 6 hours and 15 minutes, for an average […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Today's hike. 😁 Eight miles, 2200 feet elevation gain in Shenandoah National Park. Not quite as rough as last weekend's 20 miles on flat ground, but I'm still tired. The ground was a mix of slippery rocks, packed ice, loose snow, and mud. The views were […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

I did a 20 mile hike today. It's a new distance record for me, but it also might have been a bit much. Everything hurts. I hiked on the NCR Trail, in about an inch of snow. The snow made it all even harder. I'm not doing another long hike in the snow if I can […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

I was going to do a 10 mile hike with a group today, but it was canceled because of the weather. So instead I did a 14 mile hike around BWI on my own.

I recently finished a small organization project with my 3D printer. I took a jumbled pike of stuff in a drawer and organized it with Gridfinity bins. It's a small thing, but I'm happy with it. Longer write up at […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]
