That is a hard way to remember Christmas as the death anniversary of for your Dad. At the same time, it can serve as a reminder as to why it all matters so that you can see him again. While it is wonderful to spend the holidays with family (all three of my married children and the grandkids...

Don't be afraid to look at going back school as well if it will help you get what you need. A couple hard years balancing work and education, but you still have 25-35 years of work ahead of you so investing in your skill set can be a good investment.

Listen to about half (so far) of Dolly Parton's new rock album (a lot of covers with some of the original performers.) Surprisingly good.

Getting up any of the canyons to get out of the area will be the one down side!

You would hope some sort of harassment charge could be applied.

Might as well make an official introduction of "Nyumbu" (Swahili for Wildebeest) After my safari in Tanzania last May I decided I really needed a safari style Land Cruiser, so working through my tour operator and guide I was able to locate and purchase a 1995. Paperwork for the purchase took...

Did get it out for a short drive around Grantsville Sunday afternoon, no obvious issues so far! Won't be a daily driver of course, but won't sit all winter once it is confirmed road worthy either.

Thanks

Has dead battery, so have just unloaded and drove into the garage. Will wander little more in the coming days.

Finally arrived from Tanzania.

My top Spotify artists for 2023: Madrugada, Jethro Tull, Disturbed.

Deserves to be on most people's bucket lists.

Final notes. On the way to Nepal had about 8 hour layover in Qatar. Once I figured out HOW to leave the airport, spent a couple hours exploring Doha (easily reached via subway. ) Well worth doing.

On the last day, woke up still camped over the river at 6am, had couple more hours on the river (with a cool local temple stop), an hour bus ride, flight back to Kathmandu, time to shower, eat dinner and head to the airport to start the trip home with a 2am flight to Doha.

Once camped on the river, cold but much needed baths were in order. The next morning we 'started' down the river, covering at most 1/2 mile in that first day. Severe monsoon floods a few months ago had drastically altered the river and the first rapid was unrunnable. It took the crew 6-7...

The following morning we started walking. Over the next 4 days we covered roughly 30 miles, with a starting elevation of about 6,000 ft, high points little over 10,000 and then descending to 2,000 feet. And us our less than tactful guide told the group a night or two in after getting tired of...

We then caught a flight on Buddha Air (with some awesome views from the air- able to see most the high peaks of the Himalaya) to the city of Biratnagar loaded up the bus and started an hour hour drive to Basantapur for the night. The drive down some steep canyon roads would have been more...

Finally sorted through my photos and some that were shared by another team member, and the official photographer of the group. I will try to post in a somewhat time line fashion. Luckily none of you will know which may be out of order! We will start with a few from a day in Kathmandu (I know...

I think that is why they invented coats
