Caught my first bass this weekend ⚔️

I highly recommend time at the river with your closest friends, falling a bit behind on sleep, and unplugging for a bit. We did just that this past weekend in a nice cabin just a short walk from the water. While I didn't get any smallmouth to bite, I still got my first catch on the books - several lovely bluegill in the dim hours of dawn and dusk. Meals were top notch, especially the campfire s'mores. Wholesome.

You know I'm in. ⚔️

A note to self re: my imposter syndrome. Most of the value I seem to bring to my work is the ability to consistently stay organized, support decisions with logic, and show up relentlessly. My optimistic attitude allows me to pivot quickly when new ideas appear, providing an agile channel for ideation. I shy away from calling myself a technical master at any one given skill. But I have curiosities that I feed routinely; allowing myself to go into rabbit holes when deeply interested. ⚔️

The truth is a bipartisan pursuit.

Have you tried unplugging it and walking away?

Finally got the proper fuel filter back on and the pony is absolutely prancing I tell you. So far we've done - cooling (radiator, water pump, thermostat) - suspension (springs, shocks and more) - brakes, bearings and ball joints - spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filters - starter, battery, new cables - oil and fluids change of course I can't quite recall exactly everything we've done over the past year+ without looking over notes, but for a long sitting '86, I'd say she's about to be in her prime. ⚔️

Tell them I'm the guy that left his hammer smoking where he beat that old steam drill down.

Sunday old school tune-up and chopped wood. ⚔️
