Two mornings ago (the end of a 22-mi backpacking trip) vs now (a week's stay for work in Seattle)!

Backpacking at Henry Coe Park in Blossom Hill was a ton of fun. Woofy and I covered ~22 miles in 3 days days with ~2000ft of elevation change, most of which was on the last hot and sunny day—with some pretty questionable midsummer water resources to run through our filters. Absolutely tested my endurance but I'm super glad we went. We even heard some coyotes and saw some of the infamous wild boars in the San Jose hills!

This week in Seattle should be pretty low key for work, so I'll be headed toward Pike & Pine for my favorite Thai restaurant here tonight and then also to Vulpine Taproom on Thursday, then staying in Kent til Sunday morning.

It's a very good week. Hope you all are having a good one too. :)

Seattle folks: I'll be at Vulpine Taproom tonight and staying around til Sunday morning.

In the meantime, I've posted a ton of photos to FurTrack. It's scratching my numbers itch from StackOverflow, which is a good thing and a bad thing, but I'm glad it's so fun and easy to help my years of con photos to find their owners.

Here! Finally on Mastodon. Felt a lot of anxiety trying to find and pick an instance...of course federation works, but it seems like the challenge is to find an instance responsible enough to stay up and respect data policy but not big enough to crumble under its own weight. My appreciation to @crashdoom and the pawb.social team for making their options accessible.

I'm sure I'll screw it up, but hey, this is new to a lot of people, right?

Oh, and follow @Latte_Fox if you haven't yet!
