Infinitely, but not because I moved… I met people, made friends, kept close, tried new things, went on adventures, made mistakes, lived authentically, worked my ass off to move up in my career, was honest, made active changes in area where I was lacking. THAT is why it got better. (Also 🍺 helps)
Furries, why did you move to Seattle or Denver and has your life gotten better?
I accidentally created a 2nd Costco account when I thought I was paying a renewal. My old account kept on auto-renewing too. Luckily, they refunded the annual fee to the 2nd one since I never used it. They said this happens more often than you'd think. So always check those autopay membership fees.
Couldn't run a WinXP program on a M2 Mac Mini for retro-computing. So had to do some inception: Control Intel Macbook Pro from M2 Mac Mini. Run WinXP VM in Virtualbox on Intel Macbook Pro. Run Apple II disc image manager in WinXP. Access DOS 3.3 files using Apple II disc image manager. #graymuzzle

Officially a triathlete! 🏊🚴🏃➡️ A year of training lead up to today. I achieved my goal of sub 1:30, coming in at 1:27. What an amazing experience!
Yes, it's 2026, but you can still get COVID-19. Luckily, it's a mild case. I also know where I got it. I was sitting for like an hour in the Juneau airport gate area behind a guy who was coughing hard. I should've moved, but didn't. Fucking people don't consider masking up or isolating in public.
Having great trip in Alaska. But apparently, asking a local in Anchorage "Could you move over one seat?" At a bar is considered impolite. It sounded like a command to him. I aparently needed to add "please" to the end of it :( But the rest of the locals have been awesome.
Fnally got to see the glaciers upclose. Having done many travel adventures, glacier paddleboarding is def one of the best. After flying over the top of the glacier, you end up in this serene blue wonderland full of clear fresh water and ice. It's amazing.
After seeing glaciers from the air, we then saw Northwestern Glacier in Kenai Fjords NP from the water. Went kayaking among the icebergs and harbor seals and got up to 1/2 mile from the face (legal limit). Next will be helicoptering to the top of one!
Got to see Denali "up close" today. At ft tall, it easily dwarfs the 14ers out in Colorado. Also lucked out on weather as today is the first time in a month that the flight tours could go out because of heavy rain.
So sorry to hear about your troubles. Hopefully, the donation will help you and get others to help out as well.
As uncomfortable as it is for me to do this, I am reaching out to friends and the community at large to help me stay housed, by contributing to a go fund me for rent. If possible, please consider helping me and sharing this so that Harley and I can keep a roof over our heads. gofund.me/a7bf1eef0
Trying to jog at 10am during a heat advisory day was not the smartest thing to do... *sits in front of box fan on high*
Enjoyed watching the World Cup this year. But dang... Those refs are hunky!
Two older guys in a sports car, driving up to the mountains. No, it's not gay.
The Norwegian team has been a delight to watch and they represent all that is positive about football.
Visiting Zymos Brewing in Littleton, CO for the first time and saw this beautiful fox mural on their wall. It represents the nearby foxes. #foxes
They're back! Thank you so much, @vayrwolf.bsky.social for making them! I lost mine and tavvy's needed a refresh.
Having been a "man of leisure" officially for the past 6 months, I def experienced things that were expected but also dealt with some surprises. It def hasn't been "vacation" mode 24 hrs/day. But i now have in a daily routine & hope to travel some in the rest of 2026. It's been eye-opening.
Saw this in a TG group today. So very awesome... walsh9.itch.io/dragon-tax-r...

Happy summer solstice! Remember, it is the day with most sun time. But the earliest sunrise occurs a few days/weeks earlier (red) that today while the latest sunset is a few days/weeks after today (depends on latitude) #YouveEarnedOneBeer
Been seeing these social media memes about Europeans visiting the US for the World Cup not realizing ranch dressing existed and then loving it after trying it. To all the Euro furs, is ranch dressing not known or appreciated in your home country?
Hiking Day 2 with @tavvytiggy.bsky.social. Went to Mills Lake and then Black Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. So pretty! Second time for us. Much less snow his time.
Big congrats to the Carolina Hurricanes for winning the Stanley Cup! Also so happy for Vegas to get vanquished again. Screw that team and Torts.
Finally, that name is coming off the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Go America!
