Some of my Meshtastic nodes I converted to MeshCore nodes now. Pretty simple to do. MC has such a bigger base in my area. Went from like 2-3 people on Meshtastic over the last year to over 300 on MeshCore in a matter of hours after switching over.

I’m getting real fucking sick of hearing about Israel this and Israel that. These politicians, on both sides, care more about Israel than America.

Working with ChatGPT to create a personal landing page for myself. Here’s what I’ve got so far. I literally just tell it small adjustments here and there and it does everything but the DNS. Pretty impressive. brandon.hartung.vet

I connected my Apple Music account to ChatGPT and it tells me it can only make playlists of 25 songs or less. 👎 I ended up having it split four 25 lists out then I had to manually add them all together. Defeats the purpose. And that playlist overall ended up being meh 🫤

Carbon River in Orting, WA Photo taken at 12:23pm 12/11/2025 They’re going door-to-door telling everyone on the river side of Daffodil Ave NE to leave their homes (all the houses in orange). We’re about a block from the area, slightly higher ground.

A muddy riverside trail in Orting, WA on a rainy day, with the Carbon River running dangerously high and close to overtopping the levee. Two dogs stand on the trail looking toward the swollen, fast-moving water: a white/grey Norwegian Elkhound on the left and a brown/black German Shepherd on the right, both wearing harnesses. Bare winter trees line the riverbank in the background.

Very sad to learn that SiriusXM has done away with the Holiday Chill-Out channel. It was so good. Christmas is ruined.

Taco Bell’s sauce packets are different than the bottled sauce you can buy in the store. I bought the fire sauce in the bottle today and it tastes nothing like the fire sauce in the packets. Very disappointing

CO & MN (where I grew up): No right turn ever on a red arrow. Period. WA: Feel free to turn right on a red arrow—just make a full stop first. Me to WA: What’s the point of having a red arrow if it functions like a regular red light? Just get rid of arrows altogether. 🤷‍♂️

Two dogs, a Norwegian Elkhound on the left and a German Shepherd on the right, are standing on a paved overlook with their leashes attached to harnesses. In the background, there is a stone wall, a few telescopes, and a scenic view of a river with a bridge spanning across it, framed by hills under an overcast sky.

Took a trip out to eastern WA this past weekend and here is one of the stops we made. Dry Falls was once the largest waterfall in the world.

Brandon and Stacy stand on a platform overlooking Dry Falls in Washington, with their two dogs beside them. Brandon wears a camo hoodie and reflective sunglasses, while Stacy is in a black jacket with a gray hoodie. The backdrop shows the dry, rugged landscape of the ancient waterfall.

A sign at Dry Falls in Washington explains the geological history of the area. It describes how massive floodwaters, over 300 feet high, once surged through this landscape during the Ice Age, carving out the cliffs and channels now known as Dry Falls. In the background, the rugged cliffs and a large, calm pool illustrate the scale and impact of the ancient floods that shaped this area.

Camping out at Steamboat Rock State Park 🌲🏕️

A nighttime scene with a bare tree in the foreground, faintly illuminated with golden light, standing against a dark, mountainous backdrop. The sky is a soft gradient from light to deep blue, dotted with a few visible stars, creating a serene, almost eerie atmosphere. The branches of the tree appear ghostly and wispy, adding to the quiet, mysterious mood of the landscape.
