Hiking, climbing, skiing, biking and mini painting. Oh and sometimes computer stuff.

Nice toasty hike to the top of Elephant Butte. (8,383mi) Air and view were pretty good. Loop around Alderfer / Three Sisters and the spur to Elephant Butte for 8.1ish miles total. One of the nearby trails that I just never got around to before. Worth doing again on a cooler day. 😅 #hiking #colorado

Handies Peak via East Slopes. 8 miles, 3,650ft elevation gain to 14,058ft. Really enjoyed this one and recommend it but it is a long drive. Saw some critters, got accosted by a Ptarmigan protecting it's chicks and almost ran face first into a juvenile moose. Wild times. #14ers #colorado #hiking

Square top mountain. Just across the street from Bierstadt and a little over 200ft shorter but significantly quieter. 7.25mi rt, 2,400ft of elevation gain to 13,779ft. A bit steep and loose and gravely. Weather and views were nice and saw a few critters too. Not too bad. #hiking #13ers #colorado

Tried painting HiveFleet Behemoth colors for Siege Studios monthly painting challenge Simple, easy and fun too But I still think I'll do a different scheme if I ever get around to my Leviathan box Too bad I didn't finish them or the Ultra Marine in time for March for Macragge 😅 #MiniaturePainting

Fooling around with the new John Blanche paint set on a @vaevictisminis.bsky.social test model. All my favorite parts from the set from last month(?). Fish hammer, fish on the shield, fish hat pin, fish on the necklace (behind the shield, trust me bro) and fish codpiece. Probably the perfect model 😜
